"Exceptional, homely, cosy, beautiful food and surroundings, lovely team - an exquisite stay!"

10.0

Vrede En Lust was absolutely stunning. The Savoye restaurant where we spent most of our time had an extensive, beautiful menu to enjoy seasonal food by the fireplace and beautiful VNL wines. Staff were extremely accommodating, professional, helpful and friendly. It felt like being a home away from home, which was down to the hospitality and beautiful settings around. Room was very well equipped and comfortable with the nicest toiletries and room spray available there.

Maybe slightly more comfortable chairs on the terrace of the garden room but apart from that everything just perfect and idyllic.

Lovely setting on the outskirts of Franschoek. Beautiful buildings with a restaurant and bakery on site as well as a great wine tasting room! Very friendly and welcoming staff.

There was a slight issue with the hot water which was soon fixed. It's a shame that the view of the mountains from several of the bedrooms is marred by a long line of solar panels! Perhaps they could somehow be screened off
