• Kenneth (10/5): Sunny Lane was ideal for our needs being so central without a car. - We liked the idea that it was self contained, private and cosy. The sitting out areas were very pleasant at different times of the day. The pool was refreshing after a day of walking, exploring and wine tasting! The shower was good with lots of hot water. The bed might need to be upgraded in the future, but that is very minor.
• john (10/5): - A fantastic little holiday apartment in a quiet location but just the shortest walk from all the attractions of Franschhoek. Lovely staff as well. Having to leave
• marjan (9/5): - Heerlijk zwembad en een mooi terras buiten. Rustig gelegen en toch overal dichtbij. Barbara gaf goede en prettige informatie over Franschhoek en omgeving. Heel goede prijs/kwaliteit Bed was wat krap en badkamer klein maar alles was aanwezig en heel goed achoon

• Stefan (9/5): - Perfekte Lage, wenige Gehminuten zur Innenstadt bzw. dem Wine Tram. Die beiden Studios liegen traumhaft in einem Garten. Auch das kleinere Studio ist für zwei Personen völlig ausreichend und hat eine schöne, mit Weinranken beschattete Terasse. Das Bad ist modern renoviert und die Küchenausstattung reicht auch für die Zubereitung von Mahlzeiten. Barbara und Peter sind sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die gerne Tipps zum Aufenthalt in Franschhoek geben. Wir haben uns deshalb auch bei unserem zweiten Besuch im "Sunny Lane" sehr wohl gefühlt - gerne wieder!

Weil wir die einzigen Gäste waren, bekamen wir sogar ein Upgrade auf das größere Apartment, was uns sehr gefreut hat. Die Kommunikation und das Check in hat reibungslos geklappt! Das Apartment ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sofort sehr wohl. Die Lage ist super, da man zu Fuß alle wichtigen Orte wie Supermärkte und Restaurants erreichen kann. Große Empfehlung!(: -

• Tetiana (9/5): Superb -
• Carole (10/5): Excellent - Perfect spot to explore Franschhoek and surrounds.
• Wildrover57 (9/5): Peaceful haven within town of Franschoek - Spotlessly clean garden apartment. Within walking distance of the main street yet very private & quiet. Owner Barbara greeted us & advised us about places she & her husband enjoyed frequenting & there was plenty of information & books provided about the local area. We enjoyed relaxing on the verandah under the grape vine and using the swimming pool in the garden which was also kept very clean. Kitchen space a bit tight but had everything we needed for making breakfast / snack meal. Spoilt for choice with restaurants & cafe s nearby in any case. A great base for exploring Franschoek!
• Vorster (8/5): Very good -
• Gill (8/5): Very good -
• Sian (10/5): Great Getaway Spot - Perfect little spot super close to the main road. Clean. Had everything we needed. Cute little garden. Lovely host. We were very happy.
• Brian (10/5): Great Location & Value - It was quiet and peaceful but still just a short walk to the town. The small place was quite comfortable and larger than I expected. It is a great location to visit Franschoek and explore the area vineyards.
• Nick (10/5): Beautiful stay in Franschhoek - Everything was perfect for us, the room was very clean and comfortable. The outside space was lovely with beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the room and a good-sized pool. It was very peaceful and a perfect place to base yourself in Franschhoek. Highly recommend! Nothing
• Nicola (10/5): Exceptional - Accommodation was comfortable, good value for money, and in a great location.
• Eric (9/5): Comfortable stay in a great location - Property in a great location just a few minute walk from the main street with tons of places to eat and drink. Comfortable bed and lovely little porch to eat and relax. Barbara was a lovely host and the quiet location was really nice for a restful night sleep. Most probably wouldn't cook like we did a Franschhoek has amazing food. The kitchen is more than adequate but a little tight. Otherwise, everything else about the property was lovely!
• Hassan (10/5): Exceptional - I loved everything. The location is 2 minutes walk from the main road with lots of restaurants and bars. The bed was so comfortable, not too soft, not too hard, just perfect. The host was lovely and gave us a warm welcome. The pool was super clean. The attention to detail is wonderful. Mosquito repellant and a plug to keep them away. Decent filter coffee, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, decent hand-wash, and soap. I loved the private patio, too, where I was able to work. WiFi speed is 93 mbps download and 94 mbps upload, so perfect for working. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The place is much better than the photos portray. Oh and the aircon works wonders. Absolutely nothing, it was a perfect stay.
• Storm (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michela (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property, handy location to walk into town, host very helpful with any questions we had. Nothing!
• Maria (7/5): Great location! - Great location, close to town centre, shops and Wine-tram. Quiet and nice garden with a big pool. Aircon in the bedroom. The pillows were too soft for our liking.
• Jean (10/5): Peaceful, private and relaxing with everything one needs. - Private, perfectly situated with all amenities. Excellent communication and welcoming with Barbara and Archie. We arrived in 38degree weather and the unit was surprisingly cool. The bedroom also has aircon and there is a swimming pool. The unit is also walking distance to the main road where one can find shops and restaurants yet far enough to b e out of the bustle.
• Karin (8/5): Wonderfull Stay - Very friendly host. Beautifull garden. The swimming pool was so refreshing.
• Christian (10/5): Very nice and affordabable self catering units with pool close to the city centre + restaurants - Very nice and neat accommodation (especialy the bigger unit had a great kitchen and lots of space)! The value for money is very good - especially for Franshoek and surroundings where rates for accommodation are often quite high.... We were welcome by the host and the garden and the swimming pool were very lovely and neat.
• Mary (9/5): Hostess could not have been nicer and allowed us to wait in reception a couple hours until our taxi - Hostess help us to find transportation to airport and allowed us to have a late check-out. I would highly recommend staying at this location plus only a few minutes to walk to town center.

• Frans (10/5): Fantastic spot for exploring Franschhoek, lovely facilities and great service. I highly recommend this place 🫶🏽 - Everything was how I expected Nothing specific

• Keith (7/5): Good - Very quiet residential location a 5 minute walk from the main road. Nice pool but a bit early in spring for us to use it. Very pleasant hosts.
• Anna (10/5): 10/10 stay! - We liked everything. It was clean and we had privacy, while being super close to town, and an (almost) private pool. The bed was very comfortable. All-in-all a fantastic stay.
• Carmen (3/5): The bed was nice but everything else looks dated. The place needs to be completely revamped. - The bed was comfortable The terracotta floor tiles throughout the unit look dirty. The shower floor had mold on the grout. The towels were thin and dark blue so you can't see how clean they are.

• Racine (10/5): We had a wonderful stay at Sunny Lane. The place was exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed for an enjoyable - Very clean, close to all the stores and sights. Value for money.

The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable. The heaters in the rooms and electric blankets were most welcome as it was extremely cold.
• Lee-ann (10/5): Cosy little cottage - This is such a lovely place and had everything I needed. Private, quiet and very cosy. Perfect location, walking distance from the main road. Barbata is a wonderful, warm and friendly host. When I arrived she had warmed my room because it was super chilly outside. I'd definitely love to stay again.
• Amber (10/5): - This was a perfect affordable spot for our stay in Franschhoek. It’s a small room, but very cute and thoughtfully planned with everything you need. Just a couple blocks to the Main Street with restaurants and from the wine tram. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
• Debbie (10/5): Couldn’t have been better!! - Perfect location to both the town and wedding venue
• Peter (10/5): A peaceful stay in a tranquil beautiful setting - Very comfortable bed and lovely bed linen and toiletries. We especially loved the little vine-shaded patio in front of the apartment. Nothing at all to complain about!
• Tony (6/5): Loved the location but disappointed with the property - Excellent location with 6-7 mins walk to shops, Franschoek town centre and wine-train station . Tranquil. Accommodation comprised one bed-sitting room only with tiny kitchenette. References in other reviews to “spacious” must have been to the other unit at the property as the “budget “ (not much cheaper) was cramped for space. Views of pool, mountains etc were overstated. Pool wld have been good if not full of leaves.
• Roger (9/5): Fantastic stay in Franschhoek - Great location in the centre of Franschhoek. Very warm welcome by Barbara. A nice and quiet studio in a relaxed garden environment. And a great swimmingpool as well! Nothing was bad in this place.

• Leonardo (9/5): Lovely stay in Franshoek - Host was nice and helpful. Apartment we got after a free upgrade was remarkable. Huge bed, proper heating for wintery months and appropriate coverage during load shedding. Location is top notch and super close to all nearby wineries Nothing to complain about
• Tania (10/5): MAGICAL SPACE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED - I absolutely adored staying here. The cottage is a bachelor unit, with a large patio. It offers ample living spaces, especially in summer. The patio has a grapevine with two seating areas followed by a small enclosed private garden and more communal garden beyond that. . The kitchen is small but provided everything that I desired. It's one of the mostly thoughtfully furnished and equipped places that I stayed in for a long time (and I travel a lot). There was also no power cottages in spite of stage 6 loadshedding. Most importantly the bed and bedding was luxurious, with an electric blanket for the cold. You get more than what you pay for. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone, it's magical.
• Robertson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (10/5): Our stay was awesome thanks. - The host was awesome and she assisted with all our needs
• Rachel (9/5): Superb - We loved our stay at Sunny Lane! We rented the 2 apartments. The apartments were very comfortable. We stayed in the winter and appreciated the heaters and heating blankets on the bed. Walking distance to lovely cafes, restaurants, and the Saturday market. I would definitely stay again and recommend this accommodation if you’re in the area!
• Maryna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Allan (9/5): Superb - The apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Also they recently invested in an back-up system that helps make the load shedding a bit more bearable. Location was superb, with the town center, wine tram depo and La Cotte Farm. only a short walk away.
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - A fantastic stay as always. Barbara is a fantastic host. Sunnylane is perfectly located and well equipped. It's always our first choice. Nothing
• Thabi (8/5): It was good stay, felt rested. - The quiet and comfort as well access to DSTV and there was an electric blanket and aircon. Also load shedding wasn’t felt as alternative solutions. Had to park my car outside on the street although it is a safe area but for the rain and as anything can happen.
• Jo (10/5): Exceptional - The place is spacious, well-equipped, well located, and had some lovely personal touches that made us feel welcome. Overall a great experience! Beautiful linen and a comfortable bed, and plenty of add ons to help us keep warm.
• Chandre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erna (9/5): Lovely comfortable stay. Will definitely use Sunny Lane again in the summer - Lovely cottage. Fully equipped kitchen, I could cook a meal. Big comfortable bed which I had to share with my granddaughter. More than enough space. Lovely gas heater and aircon. Just a pitty it rained the entire weekend. Lovely garden. I just love the lavender plants Nothing to complain about
• Travelbandit (10/5): Exceptional - The.facilities (kitchen, lounge, TV, WiFi, etc) and the fact that there was an inverter (no load shedding)
