“Fantastic stay. Highly recommended”
Marlicia is a fantastic host. We have stayed at several of her Franschhoek properties on numerous occasions. This was our first time staying at Small Wonder, but we knew that with Marlicia hosting that the property would be to high standard and it did not disappoint. We appreciated the large utility that this property had which was set up with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and iron. The property has everything that you need for a comfortable stay and we highly recommend staying at Small Wonder. The property was larger than we expected. We will definitely be booking with Marlicia again when we return to Franschhoek.

“Beautiful views in a spacious home.”
Very spacious, beautiful views and perfect for a group of four people. The host greeted us with a warm welcome, some wine and other kitchen supplies. They also shared knowledge and information about the area that was super helpful. The host also had incredible communication throughout.

“A Little Wonder in a spectacular setting...”
The house was immaculate and very stylishly decorated. The views from the verandah and upstairs windows is to die for. Everything necessary was provided. The house is located within walking distance of world class winnng and dining in the historical town of Franschoek. So many classy art galleries and eateries it would take a month to experience it properly. The setting, surrounded by spectacular mountains, vineyards and fruit farms, makes this very special. Our host was incredibly helpful and extremely knowledgeable. We will be back again soon.

“An extraordinary experience!”
The stylish, modern villa is located in an elegant, quiet and safe quarter of Franschhoek. Huguenot Museum & Memorial is just around the corner and a plethora of cafés, restaurants and boutiques are in walking distance. Besides the two bedrooms the house offers a spacious living/dining area with an attached terrace giving view to a small, well maintained garden. It includes also a modern kitchen equipped with tea kettle, coffee maker, microwave and toaster. Our lovely host Marlicia prepared the fridge with milk, butter, jam, thus allowing us to enjoy homemade breakfast after getting fresh bread rolls and pastries from a nearby bakery. (We even got a nice bottle of wine as a welcome gift). Altogether we spent five fantastic days at Small Wonder enjoying the hospitality of Marlicia and her husband Louis - who was extremely helpful by taking our rental car to a garage for repair of a flat tyre. For sure we'll stay again at this place when visiting the Cape Winelands.

“Great place to stay”
Everything! It was like a home from home. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lovely views from the verandah. A five minute walk to the main street. The host was lovely. Would definitely stay again

“Excellent weekend away spot in the heart of the winelands”
Wonderful house near to the centre of Franschoek, with really great facilities. It was comfortable and spacious and had everything needed. There were even some unexpected basics such as milk, butter, rusks/biscuits supplied. The home is in great condition and perfect for 2 couples travelling together as it has 2 en-suite bathrooms.

“would return anytime given the chance”
Just had a 3 night stay at Small wonder. Property is stunning and the photos do not do this amazing place justice. The views from the house are incredible. It's only a short stroll away to all the restaurants and shops, located in a very safe neighbourhood. we walked everywhere during the day and night. Our host Marlicia was very friendly and accommodating. She was available at all times if we needed her and even left us homemade rusks and oat bars, to which i took the recipe. Definitely would 100% recommend this fantastic Not so Small wonder.
