“A pleasant surprise”
I love that it’s a little removed from the main road so it’s quiet. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Was a short stay so need to go back to take advantage of all the amenities. Truly enjoyed my stay.

“Wonderful stay in beautiful Franschhoek”
We had a wonderful stay from the moment we arrived. The place is very conveniently located and easy to find, just a 3 minute drive to Franschhoek main street and not much further to get to the wine estates and restaurants we wanted to visit. The staff are super welcoming and friendly as well as professional. They made us feel at home throughout our stay. Our room was beautiful and clean and the breakfast was lovely. This place is clearly very well managed and the staff are passionate about their business. We will absolutely be back.

Just a little glitch with a shower. But it was fixed. Overall, our host was the best. Staff was kind. Our room was clean. A suggestion - An extra mirror is needed for a family room. we had to use the mirror in another room because our room didn't have a mirror
