Franschhoek Village House

The kitchen is well equipped, and the location is nice for staying in town. It's not the closest to the main area, but it is walking distance to most restaurants and shops. The house feels very secure, and the bedrooms are well decorated and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the washing machine wasn't working during our stay and we were relying on it to wash clothes as we were on a multi-stop trip. We couldn't find any alternative laundry sites that could wash our clothes on short notice, so we went with sink washing. Also, the two main bathrooms have a plumbing issue, and there is a terrible, moldy smell coming from the drains. The bathroom overlooking the pool has a problematic toilet as well. In the guest bedroom over the garage, our visiting friend had trouble sleeping due to the scraping tree limbs on the roof all night. Another problem is the woodfire stove in the sitting area, in that it allows a lot of smoke into the room (so much so that you have to open all the doors and windows to air the place out, which in winter time defeats the purpose of a fire). There is also no back up power source, so we felt the full effects of load-shedding during our stay. We had stayed here previously with some of the same issues, but decided to give it another try. Unfortunately this time we've decided we wouldn't stay here again.

very homely, and comfortable. Everything was spotless and the house was well equipped. we were there for the wine trams and the location is literally across the road to the station. perfect

We were unaware that the garden backed onto the main road so there was a lot of traffic noise.

Location, outside area, beautiful rooms

size, host, amenities.

road noise

Location was great. Opposite the wine tram and easy walking distance to shops. Wonderful entertaining, pool and barbecue area. The owner was very helpful and an excellent communicator.

The internet was very poor and we were close to the road so there was quite a bit of road noise until about 9.00pm.

The place was huge and the pool and showers where so nice. The location is perfect for the wine tram.

It was a bit big for just 2 people.

This house is truly amazing. It looks like something straight out of a magazine. It definitely exceeded my expectations and then some! I only had 2 nights here, but I would love to come back and spend more time here. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds are so comfortable, with outstanding bathrooms and both big bedrooms had balconies. The kitchen was beautiful and spacious, the entryway was so cute. The living room was comfortable, but my favourite place of the property is the backyard. The patio, outdoor kitchen, pool and garden are just perfect. I could have spent a whole day just relaxing out there. I only wish one day I can own a place like this. It is a dream. It is also the absolute perfect location if you are visiting Franschhoek for the wine tram experience. The tram is just a couple minute walk which is very handy after a day of drinking wine ;)

very comfortable house. nice pool.

not all electricity sockets seemed to work
