Angala Boutique Hotel

Beautiful resort. Great service and beautiful view! Breakfast and dinner were very good as well.

Well this is an odd review because the rooms are amazing. Probably one of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in. But, it was advertised with a private pool, which turns out to be a plunge pool, and which is absolutely freezing cold and unusable. The mist and fog that obscured our view are to be expected in the autumn and are the reason that we booked the package with wine tasting so that we had an activity. Also the hotel boasts of its 2 pools. The pools, it turns out, are 2 small plunge areas and a nature lake that is not accessible at this time of year. We were given our vouchers for the wine tasting but told to book an external taxi to get there. We had presumed that this was an onsite facility but went on to book a taxi at our own expense. Upon arrival we were told that the wine tasting was closed that day. Our return taxi was not due for an hour so we had to pay for food and wine in the cafe which then was closing, so we waited in the rain and cold outside. We did discuss this with the staff and expected some sort of compensation, but were told that the wine tasting was just a gift. Given that this was part of our package, I can only assume that if we had not had a bed, the same excuse would have been given. This is a beautiful establishment but it needs to be sure that guests receive what they have booked.

Angala surpassed our expectations from its stunning secluded yet central location under the mountains to its beautiful rooms and absolutely delicious food. But what stood out most for me was the friendly staff and their attitude towards making our stay a memorable occasion. They went out of their way after a slight mishap occurred with a birthday cake for me and went above and beyond what would be expected. Another lucky guest got a taste of the cake but to amend for the error that occurred they upgraded us to their best suite free of charge and was very apologetic. Aubrey and his staff truelly represents south african hospitality. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Comfortable, large bedroom with fantastic amenities. The only disappointment we had was the restrictive catering options. Breakfast was acceptable but not varied. Dinner was served only at 7:30pm and there was a set three course menu each night with only one option. We felt there ought to be a choice of three per evening. The gardens, pools and rooms were stunning.

We had the best time at Angala. We arrived later on Tuesday evening and the friendly staff checked us in and then offered us the option to order a cheese plate to our room which was so convenient after a long day. Breakfast the next day was yummy and they were great about ordering a shuttle service to the wine tram as we didn’t have a car. The staff were so nice to chat to and the setting was beautiful. Highly recommend staying here!

Angala Boutique Hotel was the perfect relaxing and beautiful stop for us in Franschhoek! The rooms were large and clean and the surrounding property was stunning! The service was top notch and we were sad we didn't have time to use their beautiful spa amenities.

Fantastic - absolutely very chill. Staff were very welcoming. Ambience superb. Look forward to next visit. Thanks

A beautiful hotel in a spectacular setting a and a short drive from lots of vineyards and also the Franschhoek wine tram. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was great. Such a relaxing and luxurious stay. We would thoroughly recommend a visit.

We only stayed one night, but wish we could have stayed forever! The private cottage and entire property are absolutely gorgeous. This hotel feels like a private oasis. So cozy and gorgeous views make this hotel a must visit!

We stayed here with some friends. Excellent location. although you have to drive in to Franschhoek. The rooms are more than comfortable and give you an excellent quality sleep. Showers are large. Only the breakfast should have a little more variety.
