A gem of a find. Truly fabulous welcome. It has a real rustic charm but with all modern amenity. Great location in centre of Franschoek. Could not recommend it highly enough.
Absolutely perfect, couldn't fault a thing, beautifully appointed, massive comfortable bed in a lovely room. Staff were a so attentive and helpful, attention to detail second to none,
Perfect location 5 mins walk from centre,
probably one of the best properties we have stayed at.
I almost never leave a review but I couldn’t ignore this place. The property is very nice but what truly makes this outstanding is the staff, and really at all levels. From how we could park early in the morning to only check in in the afternoon, to how our little note about vegan breakfast if possible was fully noted with multiple options provided! You feel like a regular guest in a small caring hotel.
