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

I had a wonderful visit to The Franschhoek Motor Museum. The collection features vehicles spanning from the very beginning of automotive history to the most recent models. While one might expect the four pavilions to follow a chronological sequence, each pavilion actually showcases a carefully curated selection from all eras, making the experience diverse and engaging throughout. The vast majority of the vehicles are kept in pristine condition, and the signage providing information about each exhibit is clear and informative. This museum is truly a must-visit destination for every car enthusiast. - Joao


Be sure to visit the Franschoek Motor Museum you won't be disappointed. What a fantastic selection of vehicles from the model T upwards. Extremely good value for money and reasonable priced. The vehicle get changed periodically and this was my second visit. The staff were very friendly and there is refreshment on site. - John


2nd time visiting and absolutely loved it!! ? - Anelia


Really enjoyed visiting the museum. High light was the Capri Perana. - John


It was lovely! My family were on a long holiday in the area and had heard about the museum first from a You Tube video. It is beautifully done, and is particularly encouraging to see that some of the cars are used. Everyone on site looked after us well. - Adrian
