"Beautfiful hotel in the centre of town, with everything anyone would ever need from a stay!"

10.0

The property was so well located in the centre of town, close to all the restaurants and shops. The staff were so welcoming and made such an effort to make our engagement extra special including arranging some flowers and champagne for our arrival. The room was very spacious and had the benefit of its own private pool, sunbeds and wood fired jacuzzi. The hotels have gone above and beyond to think about everything that guests might require from their stay. The breakfast was insane too. Could not recommend more highly!

"Nothing too much trouble"

10.0

This is a place where you really get looked after as if you were staying with friends or family. When we arrived we opened our bedroom door to the courtyard and pool and sat for a few moments to soak up the beauty of the location and setting — within a moment we were offered a drink of our choice whilst we sat. The staff are warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. If you wanted recommendations on restaurants in Franschhoek they would willingly provide ideas and even book a table for you. The breakfast is something else, with a massive choice of items for such a small hotel. The fresh fruit platter was beautifully prepared, followed by poached eggs cooked perfectly. The room was fitted out with style and no expense spared on the furniture, fittings and furnishings, it was a room that would happily sit in any interior design magazine. We had a wonderful time and can’t recommend it enough. Now we look forward to the return trip.
