Guest Reviews

- Nina (10/5): - Lovely property and great location
- Pam (9/5): -
- Morten Bye (10/5): Sentralt,koselig og sikkert - Veldig sentralt. Koselig leilighet med alle fasaliteter. Litt støy fra bar/ restaurant
- gil (9/5): Superb choice for a Franschhoek stay - A lovely space in a superb location and little extra touches that really made the difference. Fresh fruit, a quality red wine , water, coffee pods , biscuits and other nibbles - all complementary!! The outside space was also a bonus Nothing not to like - a first class stay! Good communication and easy checkin/out
- Monika (9/5): Sehr individuell in Top Lage - War alles sehr schön bis auf… …die Eingangstür lässt sich schwer öffnen, besonders von innen und nur mit viel Lärm.
Freitag gab es am Abend extrem laute Musik im Nachbarrestaurant, war aber um 10 Uhr vorbei. Ansonsten ist die Unterkunft sehr schön und ruhig
- Aleš (5/5): - Umístění v centru města. V ubytování bylo čisto, ale byla tady taková spouta nefunkčního nábytku, že se tu nedalo pohnout. Hrozná postel, proleželá matrace. Dveře se špatně otvíraly.
Klimatizace vůbec nestíhala. Internet stále vypadával.
- Goran (9/5): Mycket trevlig - Läget Inget speciellt

- Richard (8/5): Ideally situated and hope the above comments are helpful - Appreciated the flowers and complimentary port . 1/ Freezer was completely iced up and could not use
2/ Shower in main bedroom slow to drain and mould on glass surround
3/ Kitchen drawers in poor state of repair
- Christo (9/5): I will stay here again. - The location is perfect. It was promised that the internet is 100MBs. We could barely use it. Connection was lost all the time. Not very nice. Alternative arrangements should be made to drop off the keys. When we left the restaurant was not open yet.
- JC & Ruth (9/5): -
- Greg (6/5): Was a very quaint place but we wouldnt go there again due to the above - We never had the breakfast, was never sure if it did include breakfast ??? Not very clear on this property, something they need to work on for future guests. Not very clean, very quaint and earthy, but attention to detail is sadly lacking , for example:-
Rusks not replenished.
Firewood and firelighters not replenished
room not made up or cleaned , dustbins not emptied, these should all be done on a daily basis.
- Ronel (8/5): - Location was spot on! Nice and cosy penthouse, loved the fireplace since it was a cold and rainy weekend. The mattress was too soft for my liking. Maybe worn-out? Struggled with the Wifi, even my own data didn't want to work inside. The moment you step outside it was working fine. Also couldn't get Netflix working. The AC was working 100%, but a bit noisy.
- Ebsworth (10/5): Great location with everything you need - Location & cosy fire place
- Reshma (8/5): - Safety and location N/A
- Ruth (9/5): We loved the location, the residence, cost and comfy, a home away from home! - Cosy, the verandas and best the location Hiccup getting keys from restaurant, it was pouring with rain at the time and I had to go backwards and forwards, getting soaked did not help
- John (8/5): Very good - NA
- Richard (9/5): Superb apartment in a fantastic location in the centre of Franschhoek - The apartment was very confortable and roomy with many facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed staying there and the location in the centre of Franschhoek was ideal for us. Only one small thing which was that the freezer needed defrosting as the freezer baskets were frosted in and unmoveable
- Sarah (8/5): Location Location Location... - Location, Location, Location. You cannot go wrong! Fantastic restaurant downstairs for breakfast (not included in room) Very spacious unit and my husband loved the personal touch of the media player. There is a few things that need looking at, maintenance wise but will take this up with the owner directly. The stairs don't get mentioned on bookings.com and they are steep, the door doesn't open all the way which made 4 suitcases a challenge. There is no light switch at the bottom of the stairs, we arrived late and it was dark. The letter was very hard to get hold of, during their recommended office hours, I tried numerous times, calling, whatsapp and messaging on bookings.com, my husband eventually got hold of the lady about late check in.
- Kerry (10/5): Cosy, quaint, excellent location and friendly locals - Beautiful stay, great location and the finishing touches like the dressing gowns, fresh flowers and biscuits made it extra special. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the beautiful town and the instructions were easy to follow for check in, and the locals were very friendly and helpful. Great parking right in front of the accommodation! Although only staying 4 nights, they checked in every day to see it would like our sheets changed. It was a really lovely stay, will definitely be back
- Victoria (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment was stunning. Dream home.
Had everything we needed.
Location was incredible.
Felt very safe and secure.
Little treats and snacks let's out and water in the fridge. Nothing
- Manon (10/5): Lovely Place - We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment. The location is perfect, right above a charming little café and within walking distance of everything we needed. The balcony was an absolute highlight, a perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine. The space is beautifully decorated with great taste, making it feel both stylish and cozy. Highly recommend! N/A
- Victoria (9/5): Great place in a great location - Quirky place, so lovely. So central to town and restaurants. Cool and relaxing on such hot days.
- Sandra (7/5): Good - great location difficult getting keys due to conflicting information between email and booking.com site. Given wrong keys and had to move apartments after one night
- Paul (8/5): Great location, host needs to improve communications! - The location of los Olivos is brilliant! Right in the heart of the town and situated in a stunning hidden court yard. Lack of communication!!!! All the gates were locked at night with no key to access, tried calling the host but they didn’t answer or even msg or ring us back. Fortunately the main electric gate was broken and by pure luck and good fortune we were able to open it just enough to get in.
And the shower drain in the main bathroom was blocked.
- Arnold (10/5): Great opportunity to live in the city center in a historic building - Good location of the apartment close to restaurants and shops, right in the city center but quite. Equipped with all you need for a comfortable life including grill, kitchen amenities, sofas and beds and even two balconies. Private parking.
- Pauline (8/5): Fairly satisfied -
- Amanda (10/5): A hidden gem right in the heart of Fran. A little kept secret and would definitely return. Amanda. -
- Cheryl (7/5): Management relies on local restaurant to give key to guests .We were told apartment1 there was no apartment 1 key there - The location is excellent and with some care and good management it could be superb It needs some minor repairs - the shower had broke only could have overhead option extractor fan needed replacing, stain still on the bed not because it hadn’t been washed it had but maybe needs replacing as stain wouldn’t come out
- Lesley (8/5): Very good things to do - Good location
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pete (7/5): Good -
- Eileen (10/5): This was our second excellent stay - Great central location Nothing
- Donald (10/5): Top value accommodation in the heart of Franschhoek - Absolutely first class accommodation of its type. Comfortable bed and appointments. Top quality facilities in all regards. Would definitely stay here again. Nothing
- Dawn (5/5): Great property, location and comfortable but a tired/broken bathroom - Location is brilliant, 2 balconies were a bonus., comfortable bed, cute, comfy furniture,really good price.
Nice touch with wine and milk etc.
Car parking Not able to use the safe and had to carry valuables with us, not ideal. It was day 3 before an offer to get a locksmith by which time It was too late on principal.
Shower drain blocked and didn't get sorted over the 4 night stay! Shower jets and hand held shower head not working, not usable due to the missing knob
Balcony roll handle shade dirty and broken.
A lot of hairs found in shower and some on floor near wardrobe
Main over head lights were intermittent, I suspect need a check so we avoided using them.
- Linda (8/5): A good 2 bed 2 bath stay central location great for a couple of nights. - Its central location makes it perfect for a couple of nights. Spacious and nice small balcony to sit in an evening. 2 good bathrooms. Very safe with gates. The noise in the morning also it was a bit grubby in places and The bed side rugs were in need of a clean and the bed covers had lots of dirty marks.
- Andrew (4/5): There were plusses, but also negatives. -

- Theresa (8/5): Convenient and affordable - It was a bit confusing since in order to check in you must visit the shop listed. However the Penthouse was comfortable, and convenient. We were concerned about the brown water running from the bath tap, but did not address with manager since only there overnight. Wifi was great and super convenient.
