This is a little oasis within the paradise that is Franschhoek. The staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble. We loved it! P.S. If you are in a hurry don’t start a conversation with Declan 😀

Tatsächlich war dies das schönste Boutiquehotel auf unserer Südafrika Reise. Leider waren wir nur eine Nacht dort.

"Wonderful place to stay when in Frankroesch, exactly the vibe you expect in the region."

Exceptional

Wonderful boutique hotel in Frankroesch owned and runned by Declan who is passionate about hospitality and his guests. We had the most simple rooms inside the main house but they where already fantastic, large, very nicely decorated with vintage furniture and super clean and functional. The villa’s or flats looked amazing with their own small pools and garden. The 6pm cocktail in the orangerie was a good occasion to meet other guests from the 8 other rooms, maybe just missing a couple of things to bite. The village is walking distance and very safe day and night. The pool is just there to refresh but very nicely done with extremely comfortable sunbeds. Breakfast was extraordinary, fresh fruite, homemade granola and amazing menu. The staff was excellent and constantly looking at making our stay the best possible. We can’t wait to come back!

Not for guests looking for a gym, a large pool to swim in or great restaurants within the hotel, but for us everything was perfect, intimist, friendly and understated luxury.
