Guest Reviews
- Wendy (9/5): Stylish and comfortable. - Attention to detail in both decor and facilities. Normally photos to make the accommodation better than real life but this was not the case here .Walking distance from shops and restaurants and opposite the Wine Tram. Highly recommended.

- Clive (9/5): -
- esther (10/5): Smaakvol ingericht appartement van alle gemakken voorzien. - Perfecte ligging, appartement heeft alles, zelfs een wasmachine. Heel smaakvol ingericht.
We voelde ons er erg thuis.
Je loopt zo naar het centrum.
Het is erg veilig, bij de toegang van het village staat een beveiliger en in de avond is het hek dicht. Een aanrader! -
- Harry Bezemer (9/5): Excellent position close to town, but not too noisy, very comfortable and exactly what we wanted. - Location was perfect, really liked the view.
Comfortable bed, safe parking all worked well for us. A few very minor maintenance issues, which we did point out to the maid.

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet
- Ensor-Smith (8/5): - The fact that its so close to everything, makes it very convenient
- Dino (10/5): Definitely a perfect stay and will recommend it. - The apartment was absolutely neat,clean and cosy. Perfectly located.
Host prepared everything to perfection. I was well informed from the time of booking. Lack of an air-conditioned in the bedroom that made the night abit uncomfortable due the extreme hot day. Made use of a fan that was available.
- Nigel (10/5): - Excellent location, very comfortable and well kitted and spotlessly clean. A perfect base from which to explore the many vineyards.
- Lorna (10/5): Fabulous, boutique apartment in a great setting. Spacious and comfortable. - A fabulous, boutique apartment 2 minutes walk from the Wine Tram stop!
Close to the supermarket and nearby restaurants and shops.
Spacious, comfortable and stocked with everything you needed in a home from home.
Highly recommended.

- Karen (10/5): Great, stay and perfect location for the wine tram - Course to everything that we needed to be close to the tram stop the restaurants perfect location Nothing at all
- Ian (10/5): Good -
- Karl (9/5): War eine gute Wahl - Die Lage in der Nähe der Weingüter, neben der Haltestelle der WineTram und Supermarkt in 100m. Das Appsrtment eignet sich sehr gut zu längeren Aufenthalte da es komplett ausgestattet ist. Die Ankunft und einchecken war auf uns abgestimmt und sehr freundlich.
- Dennis (10/5): Great Accommodation, Great Location, very comfortable and enjoyable stay. - The Accommodation was perfectly situated and close to all activities and locations that my wife and I wished to visit, you can simply walk off the Wine Tram and walk to your front door. There are many Restaurants and other activities either a short walk or a quick uber away. We wish we had more time to explore Franschhoek and will definitely be back.
- Oleksandr (9/5): A good value, cozy, clean. - A nice apartment with all the essentials. Next to the tram stop but a bit of a walk to the town. Parking. AC.
- Liebenberg (10/5): -
- Dolphy M (10/5): -
- Felix Fe. (9/5): Tolle Gastgeber, TOP-Lage – Eine rundum gelungene Unterkunft - Die Kommunikation vor und während des Aufenthalts war sehr angenehm und zuverlässig. Der Check-in über die Schlüsselbox war problemlos und flexibel, was die Anreise deutlich entspannt hat. Die Ausstattung der Unterkunft ist durchdacht und hochwertig – alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden und liebevoll vorbereitet.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist der kostenlose Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus, der unseren Aufenthalt enorm erleichtert hat. Die Unterkunft ist sauber, gemütlich und in einer ruhigen Lage gelegen, ideal zum Entspannen nach einem Tag voller Erkundungen.
Außerdem liegt die Unterkunft direkt an der Wein-Tram, sodass man diese fußläufig in wenigen Minuten erreichen kann.
- Sarah (10/5): Great location for the wine tram and good value for money. - Great location for the wine tram Nothing
- Carrol (10/5): Nice apartment near to great restaurants and shops. - It was spotless lovely view of the mountains on the balcony. Near to restaurants shops and the tram if you are going to do the wine tours.
- Damian from UK (7/5): -
- Christina (10/5): Overall, I was very happy with my stay. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to others - The unit was spacious, exceptionally clean, and very welcoming. Everything was in order and felt cosy, making it a comfortable stay. It was well priced for the size, and the host was spot on with communication—quick, clear, and helpful throughout. It was a bit noisy at times, but I was aware of this in advance and wasn’t in the unit much during the day, so it didn’t affect my experience.
- Sam (10/5): -
- Florian (10/5): -
- Rupert (9/5): Great apartment and great location - Great location in the village, well appointed and comfortable A little noisy front and rear due to position but manageable
- Richardson (8/5): -
- Jones (10/5): -
- Jeanet (9/5): - Een hele goede locatie vlakbij de tramhalte van de wine tram. Uitzicht fantastisch.
Ruime douche en schoon appartement Bed lag (voor mij) iets te hard
- Victoria (10/5): The Tram Stop is an exquisite apartment with everything at hand. - We chose to stay in this property because of its very close proximity to the wine tram. The buses are parked up just outside so it couldn’t be any closer. The instructions on how to gain entry were detailed and clear and the welcome pack, accessed by a QR code, was exceptionally helpful. The apartment itself was clean, tidy and tastefully decorated, with absolutely everything we could possibly need inside. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, there seemed to be something wrong with the flusher mechanism on the toilet.
- João Carlos (10/5): Ótimo pra quem for fazer o passeio de trem - Ótimo acesso para o passeio de trem, tem supermercado próximo, excelentes utensílios de cozinha, cama confortável e roupa de cama de ótima qualidade.
- Brighton (9/5): - Lovely little apartment, literally looking at the wine team stop and easy walking distance to the cute shops and restaurants of Franschhoek. Was quite cold inside but lots of blankets provided which was lovely, great Mountain view’s from the terrace as well. Absolutely perfect and loved the decor! There is a washing machine but no detergent provided which would be really helpful because most people are only staying for short periods so don’t want to buy a whole big box of laundry soap to do one wash.
- Bruno (10/5): Excepcional - Lindamente decorado, como todas as comodidades e utensílios disponíveis. Nada
- Anke (10/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): -

- James (9/5): Superb -
- Joseph (8/5): Good accommodation in a good location - The location was good great views of the mountains and next to the wine tram terminal. The property had everything we needed for our stay and air conditioning was an added bonus as it was exceptionally hot. In order to get anything on the tv you had to have your own access to Netflix and Amazon Prime no terrestrial tv.
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aurellia (10/5): Clean and Neat - Loved the cosy and very CLEAN and neat set up. Just what we needed for our 3 day stay. Everything worked great. Robyn was amazing with her precise instructions.
Awesome 👌
Thank you
Aurellia
- Suzanne (10/5): A perfect flat for your visit to the wine lands. The winetram starts from your front door! Beautiful views to welcome an - The location, views, facilities. Checking in and out was easy and the flat was spotless. It will not stop us coming back but for us a little more out side space would have made the flat perfect!
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Phillip (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jesse (7/5): All you need for a budget stay in Franschoek. - Great location, although slightly outside of town - can't really walk into town for dinner. Well-furnished, providing everything you need. Beautiful view from the patio. Being right by the tram stop, expect some noise - both from passengers and the tram horn itself. The complex doubles as an office block, not a train-smash, but takes away from the quaintness.
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Méri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic place to stay - particularly if you are doing the wine tram. The apartment was decorated beautifully and had all of the amenities we needed. And a gorgeous little terrace with a beautiful view of the mountains. There was nothing I did not like.
- Adri (10/5): Beautiful, comfortable, modern apartment. Great location. Loved every minute of it! - Great location when doing the wine tram.
Beautiful apartment with everything you need. Modern, peaceful and perfect.
- Louw (9/5): Superb -
- Dawn (10/5): Very satisfied -
- Desmond (10/5): Wonderful. So pleased you enjoyed it.. thank you for staying with us. -
- Keegan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Florian (10/5): Home away from home - Beautiful apartment opposite the wine tram starting point. Had everything you need & more, a comfortable bed and lots of blankets. Safe parking. A beautiful home away from home. Nothing - we absolutely adored the apartment
- Theunis (9/5): Superb -
- Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (8/5): Cute apartment - Cute little apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Right next door to The Wine Tram, a quick 5min walk. The balcony overlooks the tram tracks. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Walking distance to town, safe and secure complex gated at night. Only issue is that the bedroom backs on to the street side which is a business complex, so did get a little noisey in the morning first thing, not a huge concern
- Lee-ann (10/5): Conveniently situated apartment - Beautifully decorated, well appointed and clean apartment.
Kitchen has washing machine which is great as well as a table with chairs.
.The apartment was easy to access with dedicated parking bay for our stay.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect and the property exquisite
- Nkhensani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Selle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (3/5): Disappointing - The apartment was clean Indifference of the owner to reports of minor maintenace issues
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, comfortable, safe and well equipped. A very convenient location for the wine tram, and with a supermarket just across the road.
- Michele (10/5): Awesome place to stay. Very clean and well equipped and right by the Wine Tram. - The property is really amazing and fully equipped with everything you need. It is so clean and right by the Wine Tram so super convenient if you are going on the Tram. I would definitely stay there again. I really liked the property. There was nothing to complain about
- John (10/5): Exceptional - I suggest that since gourmet coffee is supplied, supplying milk and sugar for that coffee is no more than consistent behaviour. A 250ml box of UHT milk on arrival would be the (missing) punctuation of excellence!
- Stephen (10/5): Excellent would definitely recommend. - Everything, the location, safe parking, the decor. It’s a beautiful well equipped apartment, the interior design and attention to detail are excellent. This is really nothing but the bushes on the balcony need trimming.
- Melanie (9/5): Lovely apartment right next to the wine tram station -
- Johnny (9/5): Very nice. Wil definitely visit again - Location was on the spot. Within walking distance of all the amenities.
Quiet area Toilet wasn't working all that well. But husband could fix it though.
- Kirsten (10/5): Ideal for the wine tram - Property was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated . Really homely feel . Has everything you need ! Ideal for a couple nights in Franschhoek and on the door stop of the wine tram and walking distance from the town as well.
- Gabriel (9/5): Beautiful place! - Great location, amazing amenities, and so many thoughtful little touches! There is no private entrance to the property (you have to walk past some neighbours, but they are very lovely).
- Patriciabutler (10/5): Brilliant stay - Place was super clean, and had everything we needed. Being so close to the Tram stop was perfect for our day trip. The TV didn't work properly couldn't get channels on it. Maybe leave some UHT milk pouches instead of no milk but had all the other necessary bits for hot drinks.
- Robert (9/5): Fantastisch stay in Franschhoek - Great apartment with everything you need. Location is perfect right next to the Tram Stop. Robyn is a great host and helps u with everything! Would stay here again!
- Danelle (10/5): Great stay - Clean modern apartment. Close to tram stop. N/a
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - Very modern, clean and comfortable
- Sonja (9/5): Superb -
- Kimberley (10/5): Cozy, stylish, close to shops and restaurants - We loved everything, beautiful views and very stylish apartment and so close to the wine tram, we thought that was great,
We would definitely stay at the tram stop again it was lovely
- Jerad (1/5): Worst Stay of Our Lives - Well located near the wine tram. Modern furnishings. Basic amenities available. Our stay started from Sunday. Unfortunately, the entire region was struck by floods and all services (water and electricity) were down. I think our biggest gripe was the contact person. We are tourists from out of town with no idea of what was happening. We were not contacted first by her to report that the water and electricity was down. We were not asked whether we needed water. She did not provide any contact details for places where we could buy food. At no point did she check on us; all correspondence was in response to questions I had. We ultimately decided to leave midway through our stay and go home because there was absolutely no water or electricity for close to 48 hours and no help from the contact person. What was worse was we could not even get a partial refund the incredible inconvenience we as guests experienced. We sympathize with the town, but it really did not help having someone host us not be forthcoming or helpful.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (9/5): Superb - Was lovely and close to the tram, perfect stop-off after a day of wine tasting😁 With loadshedding, an emergency light of some sort would be helpful
- Bianca (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect for a wine tram visit. The place has everything you will need. We loved the balcony!
