Johannes (10/5): Brilliant Franschhoek stay in a cottage that ticks all the boxes - Spacious & comfortable cottage with modern amenities & lovely views. Very quiet Nothing to dislike
Sophie (1/5): -
christian (9/5): - Lage war top. Grösse des Cottages war top
Matthew (8/5): I highly recommend this property. - The location was amazing, as was the staff. The cottage and its garden, beautiful. There was not much not to like. The one thing I did not enjoy much was the Nespresso coffee capsules. They had very little flavor.
Wulz Wolvaardt (10/5): exquisite - Breathtakingly beautiful, spacious cottage with stunning private pool , superb food and excellent service ! Thank you
Davy (10/5): -
James (9/5): -
sam (10/5): Heaven - Everything. It’s stunning. Location , buildings, staff gardens etc. u can’t beat La cotte
Sue (8/5): -
Michelle (10/5): Le Cotte is a very special experience. You are immersed in the most beautiful nature but also in complete luxury . - Beautiful decor. Incredible setting. Magnificent views. Always a very special experience. The people working here are also extremely attentive. Nothing
joe (10/5): magical stay in a quiet and heavenly place - everything!!! magical atmosphere and lovely cottage
catherine wiseman (9/5): Very enjoyable - location was excellent. Did not include breakfast. Breakfast could have been included in the stay at this price and would have enhanced the experience even more. Loud music blaring from higher up in the valley. Settled before too late but a bit disrupticve to the serene environment
Marc (10/5): - Exquisitely decorated, delicious food, next level cottage’s. Superb! Nothing at all.
Ayanda Portia (5/5): Same as above - Cleanliness but the two floral chairs in the lounge are dirty. Regular deep cleaning would be appropriate. The electricity was cut off in the early hours of the morning. We didn’t know what had happened, and our phones were not charged since we had assumed they were charging. We had to search for the DB box in the dark. The worst thing about the property was that only two people managed to bathe with hot water on Saturday night and Sunday morning. I believe your geyser should supply hot water for all the guests, since that cottage accommodates 6 people, but it was just 4 of us and only 2 got to bathe with hot water. That’s what made our stay very unpleasant.
Jed (8/5): -
Liesl (9/5): - Stunning rooms, beautiful views, utterly relaxing atmosphere
Luke (10/5): -
Nicola (10/5): -
Marc (10/5): Exquisite. - Everything! An exceptional property to stay at. We'll definitely be back. Would highly recommend this farm stay as a romantic getaway. Decor was beautiful and creatively fresh. An inspired experience. Nothing.
Peter (10/5): Perfect for our need to decompress and relax, beautiful walks - two day getaway. - The gardens are sublime. Beautiful walks. Wonderful getaway.
Lizelle (10/5): Exceptional -
Graydon (9/5): Perfect, as always - We love going to La Cotte, always a great experience. Friendly staff, lovely accommodation and beautiful surroundings Nothing
Sharon (10/5): Exceptional -
Alexia (10/5): Fabulous Franschoek - It’s an extremely special place and loved the new MillHouse Bakery.
Johan (9/5): Superb -
Hannah (9/5): Superb - Fantastic stay. Cottages are beautiful decorated and very cosy. Beds are very comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights. Wish we could have stayed longer. Breakfast onsite very tasty. Onsite bakery is stunning with lovely coffee and pastries. The addition of robes in each cottage would be nice. Especially for getting out of the pool.
Helen (8/5): Lovely choice for a peaceful getaway. - Beautifully decorated, position excellent - close to town and the views are amazing. Lovely gardens at each cottage too. Appreciated the bottle of wine (albeit unlabelled and can’t remember what the manager said it was :-D) Nothing I didn’t like but felt for the price perhaps something like a bathrobe and slippers or proper Nespresso capsules and less mass produced complimentary biscuits could have been given.
Nicola (10/5): fabulous -
Briony (10/5): Exceptional - La Cotte is unbelievably charming - we had the best stay. From the huge bedroom, delicious breakfasts and pastries from the Old Mill!
Yasemin (10/5): Amazing as always - Without a doubt, the best accommodation. We love coming back and we find that it always exceeds our expectations. Thank you to the La Cotte team for always letting us stay in the cottage we request as it has a special place in our hearts from our wedding. We also love the new cafe The Mill- keep up the great pastries and coffees. We will be back again!
Megan (9/5): Superb -
Viv (10/5): Pure perfection - We stayed in a two bed Orchard Cottage no 3 - I knew from the pictures and the reviews it was going to be good but it was absolutely unbelievable .. even the amazing pictures do not do it justice. Although you are surrounded by other cottages it doesnt feel like that... its like you are on your own estate. The cottage itself is impeccably designed and well thought out .. the high ceilings, the beautiful large terrace (we had bbqs both nights and firelighters and charcoal were all provided) the bathrooms are out of this world in terms of functionality and interior design.. beds are very comfy and the views are stunning. The second day we had lunch in the courtyard restaurant - one of the best meals I have had in South Africa. This is definitely my new go to place in Franschhoek.. its just pure perfection and very good value for money. That I had to leave.. you cant fault this place on any level. Though maybe the addition of a pool net to fish out the leaves etc.
Caroline (10/5): Glorious and we will return for our seventh visit - Beautiful comfortable welcoming quiet The bar was not open in the evenings
Nicky (10/5): Exceptional -
Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -

Chris (10/5): - Such an amazing place! Really lovely restaurant and friendly staff
Kristen (10/5): Exceptional -
Angus (10/5): Perfect stay in Franshoek - The cottage is very comfortable, and surprisingly large. All the amenities were there and they had thought about the little extras like charcoal and fire lighters for the braii. We will definitely be coming back for longer next time!
Daniel (10/5): To short of a stay..!! - It’s beautiful setting..!! Nothing..!!
Louise (10/5): Can’t wait for a return visit, this is just wonderful. - Where do you start! Probably one of the most wonderful set-ups and the surroundings are just magical. We would like to move in!!! Thank you for the lovely products in the bathrooms, we love it! Nothing, wish we stayed for longer!
Tari (4/5): Disappointing - There is not a kitchenette. The cottage was advertised as a self-catering cottage with a kitchenette, however upon arrival, we realised very quickly that we would not be able to even have a simple egg on toast in the morning. the rest of the cottage was lovey with beautiful views, but definitely can not be considered self catering. Most hotel rooms have very similar facilities, was extremely disappointing as arrived with food that we had very little space to store and no way to cook. was really looking forward to the stay here, would have been better with the managed expectations. believe other cottages do have small kitchens with better facilities and utensils and are better equipped for braais and eating at "home"
Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
Lucy (10/5): Exceptional -
Ruan (9/5): Superb -
Caryn (10/5): Exceptional -
Paul (9/5): Wonderful - We stayed in Orchard cottage 1. It was exceptional, like staying in an interior design catalog. We stayed in La Cotte 5 years ago before Covid. It has been developed significantly since our last stay. Very well indeed! The owners clearly have an eye for detail. Breakfast was excellent and good value. I whole heartedly recommend La Cotte to anyone. The weather... it rained again. Hopefully 3rd time lucky when we return. Being picky, there wasn't much of a view from the cottage which would have completed everything.
Anneline (10/5): Weekend in Franschhoek - We loved staying at La Cotte, most beautiful cottage, lovely decor and comfortable bedrooms, kitchen is beautiful, loved the stoep and braai area, and pool Beautiful gardens, everything is just lovely Will definitely like to stay there again, for 2 or 3 nights at least

Dean (10/5): Beautiful property and great service. Will return for sure. -
Flamingolady (10/5): Exceptional stay, home away from home - We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage and it was exceptional; clean, lovely interior, full kitchen, comfortable beds. The cottage, terrace and pool felt safe and private. Parking was right next to our cottage. We stayed with 2 little kids and really felt like it was a home away from home. Cot bed and high chair were provided for us. Great location, centre of Franschhoek and the wine tram terminal was only a 10 minute walk but also lots of vineyards nearby. Beautiful grounds and views all around. Delicious breakfast. We received outstanding service from all staff. We had some ants in one of the bathrooms. Pool was a little cold and wish it was heated. The weather was hot but extremely windy when we stayed, we would’ve loved to use it more.
Emma (10/5): Perfect peaceful location in beautiful countryside - Beautiful surroundings - polite and charming staff - delicious food - wish we had stayed longer - THE PERFECT HOTEL Nothing - beautifully decorated
Susan (9/5): Wonderfully tranquil setting in a beautiful cottage with views of the Franschhoek valley - Cottage beautifully decorated and spacious. Lovely plunge pool perfect for the warm weather. The scenery and views across the valley are stunning and the staff are friendly, polite and very helpful. Nothing
Dennis (10/5): Exceptional -
Donald (10/5): Would love to visit again - Isolated. Fantastic view Nothing negative
Hannah (10/5): Don’t hesitate to book! - Stunning cottages with gorgeous decor and every detail taken care of
Jazmin (10/5): Exceptional - Secluded cottage in beautiful surroundings. It felt like our own private place for the weekend, the views are stunning. Friendly staff and great breakfasts.
Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
Bradley (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing - One of the prettiest properties I’ve stayed at. I only booked through booking as they didn’t reply to emails.
Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay !
Dbb04 (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely setting, close to town, friendly / helpful staff No issues
Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
Hendrik (9/5): excellent thank you - excellent and comfortable - views, cleanliness, everything in cottage pristine and in working condition. maybe a bottel of wine in the fridge or choccies on the bed to bring that final local touch
Jeni (10/5): Another lovely stay in Franschoek. - La Cotte never disappoints us. We often stay there. Situated right in the town making it easy to get around. Amazing accommodation and super safe as well.
Andreas (9/5): Wonderful stay in a peaceful, thoughtfully designed place - La Cotte Farm is situated very close to the center of Franschhoek and yet feels like a place in the middle of nature. Calm, clean, and with breathtaking views if the Franschhoek valley and mountains. The thoughtful design of the main house is very very slowly getting deteriorated by the addition of objects that came there organically while using. If the owner and team want to keep La Cotte at the superior level it is now, then attention to detail will continue to be required here.
Giovanni (10/5): Stunning Cottage with incredible views - We stayed in a detached Orchard Cottage with private pool and veranda: it was so beautifully appointed and huge, quiet and with the mist amazing views down the valley and of the Rocky Mountains opposite. Walking distance to the town. Stunning!
Thys (10/5): Exceptional -
Charmaine (10/5): Relaxing, amazing getaway - Location
Chloe (10/5): Exceptional -
Sophia (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful facility, pools and great room. Great service in reception, easy parking and absolutely quiet. conveniently located close to Franschoek’s Main Street. A lovely and lux stay!
