5 out of 5
Great location, lovely staff and superb breakfasts. Beautiful gardens with refreshing lap pool. Set in a quiet side street. Only 5 mins stroll into the centre. Comfy bed and nicely decorated room. Only negative was our bathroom was quite dated but we were told this was all going to be upgraded over the winter and we saw some of the other room’s bathrooms which were really nice.

5 out of 5
Absolutely gem of a find! Great location - 10 mins walk into centre of Franschhoek, gorgeous facilities - large suite style room with great en-suite (both shower and separate bath were plus for us golfers!), loads of space and beautifully clean! Bed was king size - and very comfy. Beautiful breakfast served in almost afternoon tea style with platter of continental offerings prior to cooked to order hot food. Special mention to the staff - Ellen was amazingly helpful and after local restaurant recommendation offered to phone up and book us table so we were guaranteed a table with view of sunset. If you are staying in the area, I would compel you to book here as I can’t see how anything else would be better. We hope to be back at some point on our next visit to South Africa
