Franschhoek hotellia

Plussat: very nice specious room. walking distance to the town centre. good advice from the owner where to go, what to do.

Plussat: A lovely comfortable spacious room. Nice and cosy. Excellent location for getting into the town.

Miinukset: It is early spring so obviously the pool wasn’t in use

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable as was the linen.

Miinukset: There was no one there to let me in when I arrived...rang the doorbell many times as I did the cellphone number.I got into my room only an hour later!

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Very comfy bed and very clean.

Plussat: Good location in quiet place very near the main street. After contacting the staff we were given permission to leave our car in the secure area when we arrived early.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Excellent location and the staff were exceptional throughout our stay. The host Colin was incredibly helpful and provided a local wine route for us that we were able to walk in the area and advised us on local restaurants.

Plussat: The owner was amazing. First he gave us a lot of recommendations for the trip. After that, we needed some help with some things, and he was absoloutly amazing at helping us! A really great place. Great Breakfast!

Miinukset: There was no view from the room.

Plussat: Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location (quiet but central), lovely complex, breakfast, garden... We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it!

Plussat: Lovely decorated, very comfortable beds and all staff members are very helpful and friendly. Before we left for our next destination, the owner took a big effort to give us a lot of details on which routes are the most beautiful and which places to visit. 100% recommend

Plussat: Our room was clean and very comfortable. We loved Franshoek and Le Petit Paris is just a short walk from some great restaurants. It seemed important to our host that his guests were well looked after and we certainly felt this to be the case.

Plussat: Our room (Honeymoon Suite) was lovely - very spacious and comfortable. The location was good, just a short distance outside the town but an easy walk. It was lovely and quiet

Miinukset: The pool was too small although they had another pool which was for the exclusive use of the Villa which we did use when it was unoccupied

Plussat: Lovely comfortable place with lots of attention to detail. It's a very relaxing place to stay, with great views of the mountains.

Miinukset: Generally it needs some decoration, as it's looking a bit tired.

Plussat: Location, views, style of decoration and friendly/helpful staff.

Miinukset: No fans or A/C in accommodation with temperatures over 30C.

Plussat: Tranquil location with stunning view and a wonderful pool only a few minutes from Franschhoek village. Great old villa, very friendly staff.

Plussat: Location and beautiful rooms.

Plussat: A charming guest farm in Franschoek Auberge Clermont is a charming guest farm. As we made a late check-in on arrival, we were only able to appreciate the lovely winter views from our room the next morning - vineyards on our doorstep and the mountains as a backdrop. Our room was tastefully decorated, and the farm has a pleasant ambience. Pepper, the farm's canine host, took us for a guided walk around the property, but we were not brave enough to join her as she crossed the river that runs through the property. Eventually, she got distracted by a burrow along the path, leaving us to meander along the vineyards on our own. Our host, Angela and her team were very accommodating, and gracious enough to allow us to have a late check out, as our flights were booked for the evening. The property is secluded enough to feel like an escape, but only around the corner from the town centre, making it convenient for dinner reservations. We will definitely be back.

Plussat: Auberge was beautiful - the property was great and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and the location is perfect.

Miinukset: As the rains were coming, there were some bugs in the bathroom.

Plussat: A lovely little bed & breakfast. We hardly saw other guests too, although they were there. Breakfast was lovely and our room with a veranda was a bonus.

Plussat: Amazing bedroom. Lovely setting. Can’t wait to be able to go back.

Plussat: Auberge Clermont is a magnificent property, well managed and maintained. We have stayed there often and each time we return we are never disappointed.

Plussat: Amazing location, fabulous service and wonderful rooms and gardens

Plussat: The view was phenomenal. The food and wines were superb. The art was stimulating and very educational. We left feeling we were very spoiled.

Miinukset: The lights in our room were hard to adjust.

Plussat: Superbly appointed room with great views and excellent breakfasts

Miinukset: Patio privacy between the rooms

Plussat: Personal attention and helpful staff. Excellent shuttle service Freedom to tour the estate.

Miinukset: Nothing to raise under this heading.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Property was very homely and luxurious

Plussat: Bathrooms very good. Service outstanding.

Plussat: Outstanding experience in every way

Plussat: Friendliness of the staff, SPA and Gym and breakfast all excellent.

Miinukset: Background Music needs to be fixed, CD crackles when songs change. Lighting in the bathroom and bedroom reading lights should be brighter.

Plussat: breakfast was excellent

Miinukset: pool could be cleaner - outdoor shower did not work

Plussat: It was wonderful. Staff were friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful staff, comfortable and private rooms, excellent breakfast!

Miinukset: Can't think of anything.

Plussat: This boutique hotel is a little gem and reflects the beauty and simplicity that Franschoek represents. The room was beautiful and the staff were absolutely wonderful and very welcoming. I'd definitely stay there again.

Miinukset: My only suggestion was that our room in particular was a bit dark and needs a bit more lighting. Other than that we were very comfortable.

Plussat: Friendly staff - very easy to arrive and leave - very conveniently positioned in the town - nice and cosy

Miinukset: cant think of anything.

Plussat: What a little haven of happiness the Macron is. Close to everything but quiet enough to feel out of town. Beautifully kept property with modern finishes and relaxed luxury tone to the interiors... nice to find something more contemporary and fresh.

Miinukset: Could do with some background ambience in the breakfast area which is far too quiet.

Plussat: Location was fab and a return trip in summer when we could walk to the village would be lovely. It was really chilly and the fire was gorgeous.

Miinukset: We had a picnic breakfast because we were leaving early and I thought it was a bit boring. It could have included a little fruit juice perhaps and sandwiches were a bit dull. But it was ordered at late notice.

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful, thanks to the staff and Nadia for their excellent hospitality

Plussat: The B&B is very nicely appointed in a charming French Provencal style with lovely linens and cozy robes. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom offered a large shower. Staff were very friendly, helpful and committed to making our stay a good experience. While we had our own vehicle, this place is centrally located and a good option for those who want to minimize any driving. It is walking distance to all the restaurants in town as well as the wine train for those who want to not worry about driving while wine tasting.

Miinukset: In the room we had, an investment in double-pane windows would have been great. There were really no good sound barriers in the room and while the town quiets down at night, it still impacts your experience during the cusp hours of the day. However, each room is different so cannot speak to whether this was an issue in any of the other rooms.

Plussat: Big modern room only a short walk away from the center. The host and staff were very kind and accomodating. Lovely breakfast. Definitely recommended!

Plussat: The property is beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless. The hostess is very helpful, and shared her knowledge of the area with you, where to eat, what to do, what to see.

Miinukset: When it rained there is a bit of noise from the plastic roof over the patio.

Plussat: We had a warm friendly welcome from Tina who told us all we needed to know about the area bear places to eat etc... the house is as pretty as the pictures. Very nice personal touch to the room as this trip was our honey moon. Would certainly recommend

Plussat: The best location in Franschhoek. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. The room was very clean and bedding very comfortable. On arrival we were supplied with a local map and attractions as well as excellent restaurant recommendations. Very comfortable and luxurious place!

Plussat: We highly recommend Fleur du Soleil. Located within walking distance to the center of Franschhoek with all its restaurants and the market, it's clean, quiet, cozy and offers all the necessary amenities. The garden and the pool are beautiful. Tina took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed.

Plussat: Everything was really lovely. Although the weather wasn’t at its best it didn’t spoil our holiday. Would love to visit again one day.

Miinukset: The rain.........

Plussat: We recently stayed two nights in the deluxe sunflower suite and we absolutely loved it. Both the actual suite as well as the location is fantastic for the value. The location of the guesthouse is very close to be able to walk to pretty much most places of interest within the village but also just far enough away from the main road for this to be very quiet and peaceful. Tina and Michelle we incredibly friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed all the notes on the recommendations for restaurants in the area as well as learning about the origins of the Sunflower Fund which Tina started. The suite itself was warm and inviting and the balcony is one of the best spots to sit and have a glass of wine or your morning coffee. We stay in Franschhoek a few times a year and this has become a fast favourite spot.

Plussat: Beautifully furnished room. Loved the balcony!

Miinukset: Aircon turned off and wouldn't turn on over night. Very cold! The shower floor was very slippery when wet. These are just pointers not criticisms - we loved the room!

Plussat: Amazing location, beautiful and comfortable stay. Tina was friendly, helpful and went out of her way to make us feel at home! This was a really special trip which I will never forget!

Plussat: Everything was excellent. Cozy, clean apartment in the beautiful location. Best place we stayed during our South African trip.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Such a pretty place! Spacious and cozy at the same time. Loved the little touches provided. Tina couldn’t have been more friendly helpful and welcoming. What a lovely lady!! The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the centre of Franschhoek where you can find an array of amazing bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The Corner House and our host could not do enough for us this weekend. The breakfast was excellent, and the facilities are beautiful. The accommodation is also walking distance from the main street.

Miinukset: Not one thing. Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Everything within our stay with The Corner House was more than perfect from the location, house, people, amazing breakfast, atmosphere. I wish we were still there!

Miinukset: Nothing could have improved our stay apart from the possibility of staying longer.

Plussat: Corner House is an amazing place. Everything is 100% OK. Especially breakfast is wonderful with all kinds of fresh bakes, home baked bread and delicious fruits alongside regular stuff like english breakfast or pancakes.

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: Extremely nice residence 5 minutes walk from the town centre Very good breakfasts

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excelent host and knowledgeable team.

Miinukset: Bathroom a little on the small size

Plussat: A lovely , homely property near to the main centre of Franschoek, we enjoyed the free afternoon teas and very nice breakfasts.

Plussat: Very nice place, people and service were great. Very good breakfast as well. Would stay here again

Plussat: Clean and pretty facilities. Staff were more than welcoming and helpful. Most delicious breakfast. Really close to the center of town so easy to walk to town.

Plussat: The breakfast was fantastic! A wide range of delicious options to choose from in a beautiful setting. The bubbly was an extra bonus! We could walk everywhere we wanted to be - shops, restaurants, and the Huguenot Museum.

Miinukset: The only irritation was the building noise from across the street but the guesthouse has no control over this and it will stop once the building is completed.

Plussat: Wonderful stay, with the host attentive to every little detail. Excellent location, excellent breakfast, perfect in every way!

Plussat: The staff were wonderful and made an extra effort for us, which was amazing.

Plussat: The location was superb, the accommodation spacious and well done (though the room did have a bit of a musty scent). Food was amazing, honesty bar appreciated and the relaxed elegance was simply brilliant. Good service and attitude from the staff. Fabulous wines just added to the weekend.

Miinukset: As mentioned, room had a musty scent and there was a sound of running water that could be heard from the room. We informed them and they promised to look into it. Only (minor) issues. Full price might have felt like not such good value.

Plussat: This is the most perfect spot ever! Amazing view, super friendly staff, delicious food.

Plussat: location was great. Peaceful and quiet. Very accommodating and friendly.

Miinukset: Attention to details was lacking, especially when it came to amenities in the room. My room was fine, but my daughters room lacked a few standard 5 star amenities, like a shower caps etc. The parking could be more user friendly.

Plussat: Cape Dutch building & setting by the lake Complimentary wine tasting & bottle of wine Exquisite breakfast Open fire in the bedroom

Miinukset: The interior decor & artwork was very contemporary. We prefer a traditional interior with antiques.

Plussat: The rooms were a nice size and the breakfast was good . The staff were pleasant . The property is lovely. Wine tasting team were also very friendly and welcoming. It was good value for money however if we had paid the full list rate I would have been disappointed

Miinukset: It was very difficult to find any staff to assist one outside of the breakfast time . The mineral water provided in our room was ready open and when I tried to find someone to help me replace it at 8pm I could not find anyone. We were also advised that there was high tea served from 3-5pm but when we got there at 4.30pm there was no one to be found. The property definitely requires some maintenance and the showerhead in our room needs replacing as it blocked up with lime scale. (I had to try clean it myself to get water to spray decently). In addition the shower leaks as there is a gap in the glass door. Tv is also too small for the room. We had also requested early check in at 11am which was confirmed but when we got there at 11am, we were advised that the check in time was only at 2pm and that our room was not ready. They did however manage to get it ready by 12.30.

Plussat: Incredible stay. Location. Rooms. Views. All amazing

Plussat: Suite 1 is one of the best hotels room I’ve been. Big, exquisite decoration and nice views.

Plussat: Fantastic property just off the main Franschoek scene, making it feel like a true getaway yet being a mere 2min drive into town. Great staff, great facilities and very homely and comfortable. Will definitely be back.

Plussat: Stunning place. Very nice. Very warm welcome.

Miinukset: A bit chilly in Winter times ... but that's SA standard I guess.

Plussat: Overall one of the best locations in Franschoek

Plussat: Very friendly accommodating staff. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and helpfull when we were planning our day. Even though we had visited the area before he made great suggestions which enhanced our days out. We thought being able to have a drink at the bar before we went out was a lovely start to the evening. We could not fault our stay . The location is ideal for a short stroll to all the town has to offer especially the wine tram and amazing restaurants. We always felt well looked after and very comfortable. The garden and rooms are well appointed and beautifully looked after. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool and chairs in the garden. Loved eating breakfast in the garden courtyard. Loved the communal lounge with nice soft furnishings, ideal place to have a complimentary night cap of sherry with other guests when we returned from our evenings out. Stayed in two different rooms during our stay, both well furnished and great comfortable beds, slept really well which is important on holiday. Thank you to all the team, well run , friendly and professional .

Miinukset: Having to leave after 6 days

Plussat: A brilliant place to stay - and Justin a welcoming host as ever!

Plussat: A wonderful B&B in Franschhoek with beautiful garden and a perfect breakfast with everything you wish for. We really enjoyed our stay in Avondrood and would certainly book again, when in Franschhoek.

Plussat: Spacious room, honesty bar for a late night drink, recommendations by Justin, beautiful garden with pool and jacuzzi

Miinukset: Internet was not working well

Plussat: Everything was exceptional and beyond expectation! The little extras and the welcoming, well informed staff were an absolute delight. I would highly recommend Avondrood to anyone looking for a luxury experience with an easy walk to the main part of the village.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Comfy beds, good breakfast, friendly staff, good size rooms, ours opened onto the garden near to the swimming pool. Great location in centre of Franshhoek.

Plussat: This is an absolutely stunning, extremely well maintained guest house,the staff are so very helpful,the grounds are imaculate,location is perfect and the breakfast amazing!

Plussat: Gorgeous residence and the mountain view suite we had was incredible. Justin and his team are superb. Courtney was so welcoming on arrival and explained all there is to know about the valley, vineyards and restaurants. Great breakfast to start your day and the bar area Is great to relax pre and post dinner. Probably the best 2 nights stay we have enjoyed anywhere not just SA but worldwide.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff great and very knowledgable and gave us excellent service. Recommended great eating places and advice on wine tram

Miinukset: Room a little dark

Plussat: Fabulous welcome and excellent care and advice regarding local restaurants etc.

Plussat: Great homely hotel with all the feel good comforts!

Plussat: Large spacious room- Friendly and efficient staff.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Clean, quiet and convenient.

Miinukset: Car parking is a bit tight.

Plussat: They served a very good breakfast

Miinukset: There was no hot water, the mistake was reported to be rectified and there was still no hot water. I had to go in my gown to another room going through the breakfast room, it was embarrassing.

Plussat: Location is perfect, within short walking distance of all restaurants and shops on the main street. Rooms and common area lounge were spectacular and the staff were very good as well. Complimentary drinks on arrival were a nice touch as well.

Miinukset: Nothing! Really exceptional place

Plussat: Excellent service, polite and very kind to my daughter, spoiling her with extra cake. No request is too much, with the staff anticipating our needs. Thank you! This beautiful hotel has become our annual spoiling on our summer vacation.

Plussat: the architecture, interior, staff, garden, pool, manager and breakfast were excellent.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Breakfast was wonderful ! The Last Word is lovely with perfect amenities for travellers and lots of great extras.

Miinukset: Slippery tiled bathroom floors !

Plussat: Room spacious comfortable and warm Bathroom really nice Great shower Great to have free access to very adequate drink selection Receptionist Keagan very helpful and welcoming Restaurants all close by in easy walking distance Breakfast excellent

Miinukset: Bed little "saggy" Bigger television would be a special feature

Plussat: Absolutely gorgeous view, lavender field with incredible back drop Mountain View. Amazing Superb room and setting, very comfortable and clean. Great breakfast.

Plussat: The view of the lavender field from our room!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: tranquil location. Rooms are large , but no privacy in bathroom.

Miinukset: design of bathroom

Plussat: Beuatiful location, very clean and the staff was friendly, make our stay very pleasant!

Plussat: Conveniently located within walking distance to the heart of town where high end restaurants and shop are located. Beautiful facilities and custom breakfast menu. Very comfortable shower. Near Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve for a flowers adorned hiking trails with view of the city. Bedding is also very comfortable. Easy parking. Safe to walk around. Cannot be more pleased with this place.

Plussat: The beautiful, serene atmosphere. The lavender fields were a gorgeous backdrop.

Miinukset: Far from town. Difficult to get around without your own car, as there are few available Ubers (and the Uber drivers would often cancel rides because they tend to travel from far distances for seemingly short rides). Staff also goes home at 6:30 p.m., except for a security guard. So if you have certain reception needs, you will need to wait until the next morning.

Plussat: Very cozy and modern cottages, great location, quite and relaxing

Plussat: Lovely location just outside the main town; very welcoming staff; beautiful scenery; on-site parking; good breakfast options

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious, something for all tastes and enough choices for a child too. Close to the high street but far enough away to feel as though you were in the countryside. Beautiful lavender fields. Great place to stay in summer with the swimming pool and relaxing loungers. I would happily stay there again.

Miinukset: Suggestion to put up a screen on the pathway that overlooks the car park, could grow a creeper over it.....would allow for more privacy in room 15.

Plussat: Your staff is humble, hard working and willing to please.

Miinukset: Price was a little steep but you delivered with quality property. Please don’t raise it.

Plussat: A piece of paradise, tucked away off the main street in Franschhoek. Beautifully kept secluded gardens are a perfect retreat from the bustle of the streets. Staff were most professional, and our room was simply perfect, we couldn't want for a thing. We had dinner in La Petite Colombe, which is on the hotel premises. We consider La Colombe to be one of the best restaurants in Africa, and it's 'newer' sibling did not disappoint. Altogether, an excellent experience, marred only by breakfast, see below.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not pleasant. Admittedly, we anticipated an excellent experience in the Protege Restaurant, but we were very disappointed. The buffet was standard fare, nothing special. The cooked breakfast was very oily, overcooked, and not hot by the time it arrived at the table. We imagined that lunch and dinner would be excellent, but management should keep away from breakfasts and let the hotel take care of that meal.

Plussat: The location is excellent and all the facilities are very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: We were coming to the hotel straight from getting engaged and I had informed the hotel of such when making the booking weeks before. This is where I was let down. They didn’t even raise an eyebrow to us when we arrived. I had had to choose from a number of 5 star hotels in the area and I now regret that I chose this one. I definitely didn’t expect anything too special, even just a “congratulations” from the staff would have been better than what we got. When I finally reminded the one staff member of our occasion, she just said “I know”. Had there been a quick welcome drink on arrival or small congratulatory note in our room on our arrival and I would probably be writing a completely different review. Our room was also the least private of all rooms and it made us feel like we were on show for other guests to walk past and stare at. Again, I didn’t expect an upgrade, but maybe just an extra layer of care. When we asked to go wine tasting, the car was late to fetch us. Then again we were left waiting to return home for over 30mins at the wine tasting. I am left very disappointed as this was supposed to be a special treat for my fiancé and it left her feeling like we were an afterthought.

Plussat: Great room and peaceful

Miinukset: You need to book restaurants well in advance

Miinukset: I just loved how gorgeous our room was, the artworks around the property is just awesome. The food at Protégé restaurant was just Devine... We didn’t get to experience La Petit Colombe but La Colombe is one of my favoutites so I guess it goes without saying, simply sublime. The service was also impeccable, I give them 10/10, worth another visit soon.

Plussat: IN a word. Exceptional.

Plussat: A world-class, tranquil, beautiful and classy boutique hotel in the centre of Franschhoek. As with the rest of the Leeu offerings, pure class in all aspects, including superb and warm service by well-trained staff. You will leave with a desire to return.

Miinukset: Not a thing out of place here.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing location and attention to detail ! Really lovely place.

Plussat: nice setting, really good, comfortable, elegent, breakfast top

Miinukset: we booked here to visit the restaurant la petite Colombe, or le Protege, they confirmed a table in the Dining Room. So we were happy. However, after arrival, the Dining Room is a different restaurant in the Leeu estate (we were not aware) so we had no table during our stay in la petite Colombe or le Protege, because both were fully booked all the time. In The Dining Room, we were the only guest at the time. We asked the chef to prepare some sort of surprise menu, which he did. The diner itself was very good by the way.

Plussat: Great position lovely staff

Miinukset: Menu very limited villa 2 bedrooms good 2 terrible really only for children pools were freezing and not heated not acceptable our pool in Cape Town heated and bedrooms nicer one goes away to be comfortable

Plussat: Beautiful property with really sweet lodges, beautifully decorated and fantastic views of the vines! Lovely extras at property like the fully equipped bar with lots of lovely wines, fizz and spirits. Danika was a brilliant host offering us lots of advice on places to go and where to eat and always made sure we were comfortable. Pool are looks lovely but unfortunately it rained during our stay!!!!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Absolutely wonderful staff, facilities, food and surroundings. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Plussat: Very friendly staff and really helpful in terms of making dinner and tour bookings. The pool was amazing!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The whole experience was great, the location and staff were excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: There is so much peace and tranquillity, beautiful place which is kept clean, moreover that the services exceeded our expectations! We will go back again

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Rooms spacious and bed very comfortable

Miinukset: The road to get to road slippery when raining, need to be attended to

Plussat: Clean Rooms. Stunning views. Exceptional staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location just outside Franschhoek. Views of the vineyards and mountains. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Clean rooms and discrete room cleaning. Late check out allowed. Spacious and comfortable room with good bed and linen.

Miinukset: Wifi in room was fairly low bandwidth and would not support movie streaming. No coffee plunger. Draughts through the bathroom window. Grating in shower drain loose. Some traffic noise from busy road into Franschhoek.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. Good variety.

Plussat: Such a warm welcome! Wonderful accommodation!

Plussat: Conveniently situated just a short distance from town but in a relaxed country atmosphere. Our room was spacious and well-appointed with a private pool deck overlooking manicured gardens. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful.

Plussat: Incredibly friendly and gracious staff. Upgraded room was an unexpected delight. And the views from the property are simply stunning.

Plussat: The bed was amazing, the room spacious, the gardens gorgeous and the views absolutely amazing! A lot of spaces in the garden to relax and enjoy the fresh air, views or just relax.

Miinukset: The aircon unit has this stupid blue light that is very annoying when one wants a dark room when you sleep. The ceiling fan also noisy on Medium and High speed.

Plussat: Everything first class

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great staff. Really good breakfasts - nice variety and great fresh fruit selection. Nice location - quiet and good views.

Miinukset: Would have been nice to be able to walk into Franschoek town centre at night, but apparently a bit risky to do so.

Plussat: Lovely tranquil setting with two pools and glorious views. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Luxury touches. Nice furnishings and furniture.

Miinukset: Room was too small for a 6 night stay. Claim of 10 minute walk to village is somewhat overstated. 10 minutes will get you to the Huguenot monument. Difficult to walk back after dark due to no lights on access road. Blighted by power shedding during the time of our stay as property does not have its own generator.

Plussat: Beautiful place with a great location and amazing scenery. The rooms are spacious and beautiful decorated. The breakfast is fantastic,such high quality food with lovely extras like mint in the strawberries and fresh pastries every day . Sparkling wine on arrival is a lovely touch.

Miinukset: We were in a pool side room which is beside where breakfast is served so it’s a bit loud in the mornings but when in Franschhoek you might as well get up early! The view from the rooms are worth it and very quiet for the rest of the day and at night.

Plussat: The fabulous views.

Miinukset: It was great with all that we needed, I was just disappointed at the quality of the towels.

Plussat: Everyone at La Cabriere was very nice and helpful - the room was good and the location good - the gardens were pretty and the pool lovely

Miinukset: It slightly lacked character

Plussat: This is one the the nicest bed and breakfasts in South Africa. The service couldn't be better. The views are extraordinary. The breakfast is lovely. The location, a 12 minute walk from the village is perfect. It is quiet, well maintained and charming

Miinukset: nothing. My only complaint is that it is very popular and often hard to get into.... but that really is just an indication of their success.

Plussat: Absolutely amazing experience. Staff is incredibly friendly and the rooms are excellant. Couldn't fault a single thing! It's also extremely close to the centre of town.

Plussat: I loved Carlof's hospitality the first night - very welcoming, made us lovely sandwiches. Very attentive. The decor in this place is truly amazing. And the bathrooms were wonderful. All finishes and creature comforts are great. Breakfasts were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wifi was great. When they made a mess of our pizzas (see complaint below), they took the entire meal and drinks off our bill - a more than decent response! The decor is probably the best feature overall. Very tasteful and creative. As well as the location. It was very easy to walk everywhere, as they're a block behind the main road.

Miinukset: The pizzas they prepared the one night for guests who didn't want to eat out were really terrible. Not in keeping with the rest of the quality of the stay. The idea was a nice gesture, but the execution was really bad. To their credit, they took everything off our bill (including the drinks we'd had) so no complaints there - very magnanimous response! The mens' guest loo was often dirty (urine spillage, and unflushed), which is not something they can control for completely, but would suggest regular checks on the state of guest loos by the staff to maintain the cleanliness. Also, for some reason, not one toilet in the entire establishment had a seat and lid that would actually stay in place. They were clearly either poorly installed, or poorly designed, but they were shifting all the damn time. Quite off-putting. The bedrooms are a little small (at least ours was) in comparison to the fantastic bathrooms - almost like in building the place, they sacrificed bedroom space for bathroom space. At breakfast, some of the staff members really struggled to understand English, so it was a little awkward trying to get a simple order across sometimes. Lastly, the room replenishment left a little to be desired - particularly the bar fridge. Pringles, wine and chocolates were consumed, and they would be randomly replenished, so we'd have to specifically ask.

Plussat: the service was excellent, the lounge area was very comfortable. the situation close to the main shopping area and wine farms was very good. the atmosphere was relaxing good coffee. the staff attention was excellent

Miinukset: the bedrooms were not the most comfortable. no space on tables next to the beds. Duvet too heavy and pillows uncomfortable. the showers did not work very well the barman served us the incorrect drinks!!! breakfast was mediocre

Plussat: Fantastic guest house. Staff was super helpful, beds was amazing, walking distance to restaurants, great breakfast. We had a great time. Thank you very much. We will definitely be back!

Plussat: The staff are brilliant and the location is convenient, a short walking distance from the main street. I really liked the design of the hotel - its fun and unique. Drinks at the fireplace in the evening was a highlight. There are also several pools and so it isn't crowded. They also offer free bicycles (but we didn't have time to try them. ) Great local coffee is provided in the rooms. The breakfast was lovely, and the staff made a special effort to prepare an extra early morning breakfast for us before we had to leave for the airport. There is a nice gentleman who stays up at reception at night so you feel safe when you arrive home late at night.

Miinukset: We could sometimes hear our neighbours/their television. The bathroom design is very modern with no shower door, but it resulted in the floor getting quite wet which is little annoying when using the bathroom. These were just small things and didn't impact the enjoyment of our stay.

Plussat: Every part of this experience was immense - personalised service, catering to our needs, recommendations and a real feeling of being at home.

Miinukset: Wouldn't change a thing

Plussat: Lovely staff, fresh interior design, bedding.

Miinukset: Next time we will stay in an outside room as we were woken each morning by activity downstairs such as the front doorbell and staff getting breakfast ready.

Plussat: Our stay exceeded expectations in every way. From the warm welcome we received from Kim, the quality of our boutique accommodation , the service from Andrew and the helpfulness of Cecilia and Christopher. Breakfast was plentiful (fruit, cereal and pastries buffet) as well as freshly cooked options. La Fontaine is a quality venue, very well located, close to the main street but in quiet surroundings.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The people

Miinukset: TV too difficult to operate. Also choice of channels limited.

Plussat: Warm and friendly staff

Miinukset: Lots of noise from children running in the upstairs corridor - we had to ask them to be quiet Bedroom door does not seal properly, so we had the bright light from the corridor shining into the room the whole night Bathroom got soaked, because there is no shower door - nice design idea, but messy outcome

Plussat: Excellent location! Everything you need for a quick getaway

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was in a good location, the room was so lovely, comfortable and clean.

Plussat: Big, clean room, with nice decoration and on a calm location s walking distance from the Main Street. Friendly staff and owners who did everything in their hands to fix the issues we had.

Miinukset: During our stay we had two issues which affected negatively our overall experience. There was noise from a maintenance in the building, starting 08:30 in the morning on the Saturday morning. I think the maintenance will soon be completed, and this should not be an issue in the future for other guests. Additionally, our room had no hot water. The other rooms didn’t had the same issue. The owners and the staff were very attentive and found other rooms for us to use. I thing it will be fixed soon as they were already working on it when we left. Despite the issues we found it is a place we could recommend as soon as it the maintenance they are doing is over. To be fair with other reviews we did where everything was perfect we had considered it in our evaluation.

Plussat: We had a very nice stay! Thank you Elaine! Bed was really comfortable, shower and room very clean! Parking inside the gate which was also great.

Miinukset: There were a lot of mosquitoes so make sure to close the windows as there are no insect screens in front of the windows. But that actually was the only thing that could have been better.

Plussat: The location is beautiful. Rooms are lovely and everything you need. A good meeting from the dogs.

Plussat: Friendly hosts, great accommodation, access to tourist attractions, they delivered what they promised. Beautiful finishes, great outdoor area.

Miinukset: Would have preferred dedicated kitchen setup, even with a small sink for coffee water.

Plussat: Every thing is fine,neat and clean,all you need for a pleasant stay.

Plussat: Lovely courtyard, exceptionally clean, great shower, very comfortable bed, great possition close to everything yet secluded and quiet

Plussat: our host has suggested visiting an art caffee for weekly jazz concert. make sure you will not miss it so go and book yourself a table as soon as possible as the locals flock to this event. food and wine may be not the best but the atmosphere is more than excellent. You will love it - especially if you like to dance (between the tables) ;(

Plussat: We stayed at Mont Rochelle for 2 nights as the first stop on our honeymoon and it could not have been better. -The setting for the hotel is beautiful and the rooms are really comfortable yet stylish. They actually upgraded us because it was our honeymoon which was unexpectedly kind. -The food was wonderful. In SA we were served all kinds of delicious breakfasts but at the end we thought Mont Rochelle was the best. The breakfast souffle was divine! The picnic by the dam was also a great experience. - The facilities are lovely. Great pool with a beautiful view. We also made use of the gym. -The staff were friendly, helpful and professional (particular thanks to Peter in this regard). -Obviously Mont Rochelle is not a cheap hotel. However (and I can't quite believe I'm writing this!) we ended up thinking that it represents value for money because the quality was so high. We found ourselves very irritated by some other luxury hotels which, despite being very expensive, constantly try and "up sell" products and experiences, and charge ridiculous amounts for small simple items like water and beer. There was none of this at Mont Rochelle. The complimentary items are plentiful, from suncream, to delicious snacks, to a wine tasting session. When you do buy additional items/activities such as meals they are high quality but reasonably priced. All in all it was a lovely experience and we hope to come back.

Plussat: We loved our room/suite it was comfortable, spacious and nicely furnished It felt new still and fresh Great shuttle service Lovely touch having 2 bottles of wine for us to drink during our stay, from the mini bar

Miinukset: Breakfast and The Miko restaurant, we had expected a greater option of choices, TV options were very limited I didnt find the bed very comfortable we asked for a king bed and could feel the ridge pf the 2 single beds between us Complimentary Mini bar could have better nibbles

Plussat: The staff always go above and beyond and are so friendly and courteous

Miinukset: That we had to leave

Plussat: The property is wonderful, and the staf is fabalous.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fantastic views, room staff and restuarant.

Miinukset: Mmmm....

Plussat: Best place I have ever stayed!

Plussat: Great!!!j

Miinukset: Help with booking the Spa in time!

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing and the staff were excellent

Plussat: Everything, stunning views and you really get a 5star treatment. Peter the manager is absolutely amazing and warm.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing hospitality and facilities - we didn’t want to leave!

Miinukset: Nothing - everything was spectacular

Plussat: Most of everything, setting, room, scooters etc

Miinukset: Breakfast could be more diverse.

Miinukset: We had some trouble using Echo commands.

Plussat: The rooms are ultra modern and very nicely decorated. Breakfast was amazing as well as the location.

Miinukset: There were some problems with the technology in the rooms ( echo was not functioning properly). There was also a black out ( no electricity for over 1 hour) so there was a real delay with breakfast,

Plussat: - very attentive and friendly staff - excellent ambience - confortable room - cool technology - extremely tasty breakfast - cool scooters for rental - eco friendly property - free water, sparkling water, tea and coffee 24/7 - good wine selection

Miinukset: - room (10 and 11) extremely noisy, no sound proof windows - size of toilet is too small, does not fit a big man - rooms lack privacy since they only have black out and have no curtains or blinds and the window is only partially frosted, meaning, if your blackout is up, people passing by will be able to see everything you do inside - shower does not have a door and room gets wet when you have a shower

Plussat: Everything was great. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. We enjoyed the advanced technology. We also had so much fun with the electric scooters even though it was my first time on any bike/ scooter. Will be back to explore the rest of Franschhoek.

Plussat: Breakfast, high tech stuff was interesting. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. Coffee machine in room.

Miinukset: Not all TV channels in room. No sitting in Room other than bed. Needed a chair. Our staff member did not know how the coffee machine in the room works, not a big issue, but since you asked..

Plussat: It was a great location, I could jog in the mornings. And it was a quick drive to town. I loved the pool area and the room was incredible. Everything was automated and that was so much fun to use. The staff were friendly and helpful - great wine recommendations.

Plussat: Private and intimate.

Miinukset: Toilet not separated from the room

Plussat: Swimming pool and jacuzzi

Miinukset: Bedroom doors have code to lock and open and mine didn't work. Then when you turn over in bed during the night, a movement sensor picks this up and turns the lights on - and this happened at least 3 times. Breakfast service was very slow.

Plussat: Overall efficient and quality experience from the facilities to the staff and decor. Breakfast was also good quality and I enjoyed exploring the cutting edge use of the tech, certainly cutting edge for an average South African hotel/bed and breakfast. Although I feel its still very much in the concept phase.

Miinukset: the room was close to the reception area and was quite noisy at times particularly in the morning and between 8 and 10pm at night. Requested interest in having a massage on the Sunday morning of our stay and I was told via email that the masseuse would be in contact with me when we were there. On the Saturday evening I enquired in person whether we can have the massage on the Sunday morning and I was told he will let me know before we settled in for the night, it never happened.

Plussat: We were allowed to make our own Halaal breakfast. No problem

Miinukset: The staff could be more friendlier.The owner / manager could have been more welcoming. While having breakfast, she interrupted, without a smile and merely asked: Are you going to use the same card? She gave no parting words nor enquired whether we enjoyed our stay. The interleading rooms we occupied had only One small TV and one toilet....dificult for four adults. No extra blankets were provided. The 'main bedroom was very small.

Plussat: lovely and quiet - were unexpectedly upgraded to a bigger room! very friendly staff

Plussat: Overall customer experience was great and so customized

Miinukset: Nothing, they went an extra mile in making us happy from day 1 to the end

Plussat: Great value for money Very clean and spacious accommodation Little touches such as pod coffee and fresh flowers Lovely setting with beautiful gardens and views Friendly staff Nothing we found lacking

Plussat: Breakfast was great.

Miinukset: There was no internet in the room. Need to get out to the corridor to access to wi-fi

Plussat: Wonderful location, and perfect setting, the villa is really exceptional.

Plussat: Homeliness of the environment - a Bridal Bachelorette was held after a day of activities in and around Franschoek

Miinukset: Some light fittings did not work

Plussat: The place is beautiful and spacious. The breakfast is nice.

Miinukset: The shower was clogged up. The coffee at breakfast wasn't good, it was made very strong.

Plussat: The breakfast was good

Plussat: The whole atmosphere was wonderful and staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing
