Lovely place to stay. The room was beautiful, clean and had everything we need. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It’s an ideal location from the centre of the town and easy access to the wine tram. We would definitely stay here again.

Be very careful the property is not maintained and the outside area is extremely dirty . The pool was so murky you couldn’t see the bottom , the staff blamed the wind but it was certainly a lot more than wind causing the dirt and debris around the property . Maintenance is a major problem for them . The manager cindy promised a refund for our last night when we decided to check out early due to the problems, two months later I am still waiting . There is plenty more Places to chose from , I would avoid this place at all cost

We had an amazing stay at Ashbourne Guest House! Courtney and Cindy greeted us with a glass of wine and made us feel at home right away. The room was very spacious and clean. The fridge was stocked with many different choices and there were snacks available in the room too (both for purchase). Breakfast in the morning is freshly made baked goods, fruits, meats, cheeses and a full hot menu to choose from (including dim sum of all things!). The B&B is walking distance to both the main street and the wine tram. It’s safe at night and load shedding wasn’t an issue as they have generators. We stayed in the poolside room and would recommend anyone stay there. It’s a very peaceful and quiet B&B.

The suite was very comfortable with a good size bedroom and nice sitting room. Breakfast was very good with a variety of food options. The location is on a quiet street but still very close to the main street in town. The staff was very helpful and the owner present on site. He was able to give us advice on a nice wine farm walking tour and suggestions for travel to our next stop. We indefinitely will stay here again on our next trip to Franschhoek.

Stunning guest house with amazing service

Amazing place to stay, rooms are beautifully decorated with art and furniture. The personal level of service was exceptional, this was our favourite place to stay on our 2 week trip in SA. The guest house is perfectly located a brief 5 min walk from the town, which has lots of lovely independent restaurants and shops. We have already recommended to friends and family, and will definitely be back!
