7 Koppies

The location was beautiful and the staff were lovely

More variety on the menu for dinner would be great

7 Koppies was probably our favorite stay out of all the hotels in our South Africa trip. It really lived up to the intention of being a comfortable home for guests. Before we even got started, the staff at 7 Koppies was communicative, giving us detailed directions to get to the hotel. On our drive in, we had to stop the car to take in the stunning views. We knew immediately we'd be in for a treat. As soon as we arrived, staff helped us get settled and gave us a lovely tour of the grounds. From the master kitchen where available fruits and snacks were ready to the large pool with beautiful views of the mountain vista, we wanted to stay. In fact, we didn't even leave the grounds for one of the days, preferring to relax by the pool and spend time at the sauna rather than drive across wine country. Day and evening staff were warm and friendly throughout; we even spent some time with Anuk (affectionately known as "Nuki"), the lovely guard dog who was an added bonus. Our favorite thing to do was simply bring a bottle of wine and watch the sunset. Cannot overstate how wonderful it was to stay here. We only wish we extended it by a day or two.

We were about a week into our trip in South Africa and were getting sick of always dining out. We wanted to eat in, but making something light and refreshing. We didn't realise that we weren't allowed to use the kitchens unless we booked the cottages. We ended up pivoting to a charcuterie and fruit plate instead. We understood these precautions though, as there were likely business and safety issues to consider. Besides the prohibited use of kitchens, everything else was super lovely.

Serene setting, retreat vibe. Felt like a gorgeous English country house, but obviously a lot better! Would recommend to anyone.

Insane views and pool, great room with nice interior, good breakfast

Not much assistance with luggage, not very proactive staff, water leaking into room when it rains. Complaints on a high standard but overall value for money isn‘t too great.

A Perfect Retreat Outstanding Service From the moment we arrived, Arty (Artwell) and the team provided exceptional service - attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. Arty helped make our stay memorable, anticipating our needs and helping us make the most of our time in Cape Town. Beautiful Design & Atmosphere We stayed in the Valley Suite, which like the rest of the property, is a designer's dream - thoughtfully planned with impressive attention to detail. One of our favourite experiences was gathering with other guests around the open fire in the evenings, creating a warm, communal atmosphere. Surprisingly Excellent Dining While 7Koppies describes their evening meals as "simple," the food was great. Despite the modest selection, each dish was perfectly prepared. We dined in more often than going out, enjoying meals by the fire - a definite 10/10. Location: Perfectly Remote 7Koppies is located about 15-20 minutes by taxi/Uber from Franschhoek. For us, this was ideal - offering stunning views and peaceful surroundings while still providing easy access to Franschhoek and the surrounding vineyards. Overall Experience Our stay exceeded expectations in every way. The combination of exceptional service, beautiful design, great food, and ideal location made for a perfect retreat. We're genuinely looking forward to a return visit.

Nothing.

Unbelievable view of the valley with amazing sunsets Friendly staff - Arti was great and very accommodating Good facilities - swimming pool, sauna and shop

Location of the property is quite remote so you need a car to really enjoy it because Uber struggled to find it which made going into town a bit tricky. Car service company also got quite booked up. Would be great if the hotel had a shuttle service into town for guests We also hadn’t fully realized that it was a bed and breakfast

It has been our second stay and as last time, amazing!

Might be one of the finest hotel experiences I have ever had. I didn’t want to leave. The room, the view, the location, the staff…it was a dream.

Nothing

Our stay at 7 Koppies in Franschhoek was nothing short of exceptional! From the breathtaking panoramic views over the valley to the beautifully designed interiors and exteriors, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a truly unique experience. Incredible hospitality that felt both genuine and effortless. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet intimate retreat in the Winelands, 7 Koppies is an absolute must!

Beautifully design and furnished. In a stunning location
