The Village Cottage

Beginning from the prompt communication, ease of information, all the way to the plethora of amenities provided, the hostess went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. As we were reaching Franschhoek after a 9 hour long drive, the hostess ensured we had all the right information for a super easy check-in and comfortable settling-in. She answered all our queries promptly and even allowed us a late checkout as we wanted to enjoy the Farmer's market before leaving for the airport in CT. It was possible only perhaps due to off season / no subsequent check-in on that day. We are a fan of self-catering accommodations and The Village Cottage has set a new/much higher standard , one that would be difficult to match in any other town, city or country.

Exceptional attention to detail; central location

What an EXCEPTIONAL place to stay! From the moment of check in until we left, we had fantastic communication with our delightful, helpful and friendly host. The place was impeccably appointed with luxury everywhere we looked. She had stocked the fridge with all sorts of goodies and left the most delectable chocolates for us too. Nothing was too much effort. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and well appointed. With such lovely complimentary body products. The lounge and kitchen area was fabulous with lots of comfortable seating. A fantastic secure outdoor area had delightful seating and a bbq too. There were two sets of keys to everything and a washing machine in the adjoining garage. There was actually nothing that hadn’t been thought of and provided. We were blown away! Added to everything was another parking spot inside a locked security gate. And THEN, the location…wow, wow, WOW. A lovely quiet street, surrounded by mountains and the shortest walk to the charming township. So quaint with its lovely shops, and a fantastic array of restaurants. We had three nights there but could have EASILY stayed a week or more. Easy driving to amazing wineries and galleries. To say we loved the place is an understatement. A definite 10/10 all round. Amazing. Incredible. Charming. We will be back again, I hope!

Absolutely NOTHING!!!!

The location was excellent. Beds very comfortable.

The host was very helpful, provided me with a video and a code for the lockbox just for me, and explained the process in detail days in advance which helped me plan my trip accordingly, it also made my check in smooth, and I didnt need ot rush to meet someone.

Great location, absolutely immaculate condition and fantastic liaison with the owners who provided step by step instructions on getting into the property, oarking and video steps on use of appliances.

Nothing at all

ótima localização, podíamos ir a pé para restaurantes e mercado. Local limpo, bem decorado e confortável.

It was a very comfortable stay in a beautifully decorated home and met all our needs. Super close to the main street. The hosts went above and beyond to assist which is most appreciated.

The Village Cottage is perfectly positioned to explore the main part of Franschhoek by foot. There are numerous bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance (no drinking and driving problems). The cottage was extremely beautifully designed with an eye for detail. The air conditioning in all the rooms was a great bonus as it is very hot. The bathrooms were of a very modern design and catered for all our needs. The kitchen is very well equipped and of the highest standard. The complementary champagne and chocolates was most welcome after a long drive. The supply of milk for our morning coffee was also appreciated. On departure we met Claire who was most hospitable. All in all you can't fault this beautiful establishment.

Not wanting for anything.
