The Franschhoek Motor Museum

Franschhoek

Activity Description

The Franschhoek Motor Museum offers visitors a special opportunity to look back at more than 100 years of motoring history with its unique and exciting collection of vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and memorabilia in the magnificent setting of L’Ormarins. Across the length and breadth of Southern Africa, only one place can adequately portray the evolution of the automobile, The Franschhoek Motor Museum.
The museum’s collection exceeds 220 vehicles – ranging from an 1898 Beeston motor tricycle to a 2003 Ferrari Enzo supercar – and more than 80 exhibits will be on view at any one time, displayed in four de-humidified halls with a total floor area of 2700 m², and presented in chronological order.

Customer Reviews

This was my 2nd time at the museum. My first time was many years ago, back in 2017/18. I knew I'd enjoy the museum because I really loved it back then, and I was right! I've always been a big car lover & the amount of automotive history (both past & current) that were on display was so amazing to see. I'll definitely be back again in the future! - Dean


Our family had a splendid time at the museum. The cars range from very rare antiques to very interesting vehicles from a newer era. My boys could not choose a favorite and even my wife enjoyed the nostalgia. We shall visit again. - Hennie


Like the previous visit, this is a must visit when in Franschoek. It is a pleasant, interesting and well managed facility, where car enthusiasts like me, and their families can enjoy motoring history. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We also visited the coffee shop and that too was top class. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit the motor museum. - Freddie


A great experience for car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates automotive history! We visited on a rainy day, but it didn't affect our visit at all. Just bring an umbrella for the short walk, and you're good to go. The collection is impressive, with a wide variety of beautifully maintained classic and vintage cars. Everything is well displayed, making it easy to take your time and appreciate each vehicle. Definitely worth adding to your Cape Town itinerary! - Manal


It was a fantastic experience. I grew up with a love for cars especially old cars. My dad had an eye for beautiful cars and I was privileged to inherit my dad's Chev 1931 model. It was my 50th birthday when I visited the museum and it was definitely the highlight of my day. You will see my September for my next visit. - Elizna
