    The garden room was lovely and provided a peaceful retreat after a hot day. The pool area was well-kept, perfect for cooling off, and the breakfast was noteworthy with large portions that set you up for an active day ahead.

    Parking can be cramped on the premises, and some rooms could use better lighting as finding the switches can be a hassle. There were also issues with bugs due to open windows left by housekeeping, and the sliding bathroom door lacked functionality, leading to privacy concerns.

    great breakfast
    challenging location

    The breakfast spread was excellent, with a variety of freshly prepared options that set a lovely tone for our day. Especially Evelyne.

    The uphill walk back from the Main Street can be challenging, especially for those not accustomed to steep inclines, and there are limited pavements along the way.

    Location: the hotel was next to the restaurants in the centre of town, the main streets in Franschhoek, and a nice quiet neighbourhood. It also was quiet in a beautiful garden. The rooms were clean with a very comfortable bed, the staff were wonderful.

    made-to-order breakfast

    luxurious, luxurious, luxurious

    The breakfast was an extravagant feast. I particularly loved the made-to-order options served with fresh fruit. The poolside views of the mountains added a serene touch.

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    Our stay was good, especially enjoying the spacious room and the lovely breakfast options. While the pool looked inviting, we couldn't use it due to the weather. Would definitely return!

    Couples seeking tranquility

    The breakfast was something else! Each morning, we had fresh options, made getting up worthwhile. Plus, the grounds had very nice views, made every cup of coffee enjoyable!

    It wasn't exactly a bargain though, well worth the splurge.

    lovely breakfast

    It was just a fitting option for a flash visit in Franschhoek with good value for price. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast that was large and satisfying. Make sure to check the parking space before arriving.

    privacy concern
    sliding door issue

    I enjoyed relaxing by the pool after a lovely breakfast with fresh fruit. The location was convenient for exploring local attractions and wineries. I noticed some issues with the sliding bathroom door, which affected privacy. It was a good experience, and I appreciated the friendly staff.

    room door issue, security concern

    huge room
    comfy bed

    The room was huge with a super comfy bed and a nice sitting area-definitely. We had our own entrance, so convenient. Plus, the private outdoor space was lovely for chilling out. The only thing was that there was only Netflix, so if you're a cable TV fan, you might miss that. But overall, it was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring!
