A beautiful cottage in the heart of Franschhoek

A place which feels like home away from home. Really comfortable 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The fire place was great for the evenings and cold mornings. Jo and her husband were very nice and really helpful as well. The location is perfect, a quiet street yet right in the centre of the main strip. I also got to hike part in the Mont Rochelle natural park which I strongly recommend.

Lovely restful cottage feel, yet in the middle of Franschhoek.

We loved the outdoor seating area with BBQ for guests to use. The property is quiet and secluded but only just off the Main Street, so only a few minutes walk from restaurants. The hosts live in the adjacent property and are helpful, but leave you alone otherwise. There is private off street parking for several cars. The kitchen is well equipped.

Totally recommendable

We stayed at the lovely Jonquil Guesthouse three nights and enjoyed it very much! Jo and Gary were very welcoming and provided us with lots of chopped wood for our stove (much needed as we were staying there in August!). The house is very cosy, charming, well-equipped, and situated in a magical and very well cared for garden. Franschhoek main street with lots of restaurants, shops, and - importantly! - the Wine Tram is within walking distance. We loved staying there and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who plans to stay in Franschhoek!

Spacious and comfortable cottage

The cottage is lovely. Spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked for home cooking and the shops are very close by. It was winter and the cottage was cool, but there are very welcome electric blankets on the bed and lots of duvets and blankets. Hosts are lovely and stay on the property so nothing was difficult to arrange. They brought wood for the fireplace, a fruit basket and even some welcome chocolates. Lovely stay.

Incredibly special 2 bedroom cottage stay in Franschhoek.

This is an incredibly special place to stay in one of the most perfect places in the world. The cottage was exactly as described - luxurious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities (perfect for a long stay like ours). The cottage was huge! We had so much space inside so everyone could spread out and have quiet down time. The outdoor sitting space and braai/bbq was a lovely feature. The location is so central that we walked everywhere in town. Safe and secure off-street parking was a very nice feature. Jo is one of the best hosts I have ever met. I highly recommend staying here and plan on doing the same on all of my future visits.

An excellent place to stay

This is just a wonderful place to stay right in the heart of the town. Lovely comfortable beds and bedding and a fully equipped kitchen. Jo, the owner was really helpful and gave us dining tips which were excellent ! We are hoping to visit again next year for longer!

Excellent village centre cottage which felt like a home from home

The location is excellent being close to the centre and a short walk from numerous restaurants, bars and shops. The cottage is tucked away in a lovely garden and is very well equipped for a self catering holiday. Jo and Gary are excellent hosts and my wife and I will be returning in the future.
