Verdun Country House

Beautiful house in a breathtakingly scenic location, fantastic facilities, lovely decor and lots of thoughtful touches. Fabulous pool, great BBQ (Braai) Ann as a host is fab, super quick and clear communication.

Nothing not to like, it was fantastic. The only very minor improvements we could think of would be to add some AC into the main living areas to make the stay even more comfortable on the hottest days.

Everything is here for the perfect stay. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Really appreciated having the bikes available for a quick run to Franschhoek. The absolute highlight is the pool and braii - with the most amazing sunset views this is a beautiful spot for relaxing after a day trip.

Leaving it!

Stunning location. Very peaceful. Our whole family group could be together. Beautiful rooms, furniture. 2 delightful wine farms only 2km cycle/drive away. Horses were very interesting to watch. Braai area superb and well equipped.

Insufficient hot water. Lukewarm in some basins (rm 1), barely warm in rms 4/5 shower and bath. Insufficient cooking equipment for such a large family group (Needed more than one colander: non-stick frying pans would’ve been good). Some windows need attention - frightened to open as woodwork looked likely to fall apart. Bicycles not maintained or ready for use. One had puncture. Tandem chain guard lose and prevented use unless removed.

Amazing property, close to everything and Ann was the greatest host. Will definitely visit again! Recommended to everyone visiting Franschoek.

Everything! Clean, well cared for, spacious. Felt like a real home.

Perfect for a get-together of family or friends, sleeps 8-10 people. All the facilities were great, especially the swimming pool, outside areas, main bedroom and the lounges.

Two small negatives, both minor ones. The absence of aircon in the bedrooms, but the fans helped and it wasn’t too hot (31°C). May be an issue when it is really hot. The second was the lighting in the kitchen was a bit inadequate.

The house is beautiful and spacious and it suited our group of eight people (adults and children) perfectly. It has a great swimming pool and offers gorgeous views of the mountains. Everything is nicely organised and makes it easy to find everything you need during your stay. The host was prompt with communication and very helpful with recommendations for things to do/ places to see and we were welcomed with a delicious cake and drinks. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Verdun House.

It worked well for us as we were two families and one friend but one thing to note is that apart from one room, the others are interconnecting rooms so you'll need to walk through a room to get to the next unless you access it from outside.
