Simply outstanding!

Our 4th stay at this outstanding guest house! Beautiful rooms, lovely breakfast, beautiful gardens. What makes this place special though is the people. Karloff, Juvelie and Jamie-Lee were incredible together with Justin. My husband was taken seriously ill as we arrived and eventually had to be hospitalised. They looked after me as a family would. They went well beyond the call of duty and checked up on me constantly We will hopefully be returning when my husband is better. The nicest place in beautiful Franschhoek by far

A true gem that I would highly recommend to anyone planning their stay in Franschhoek. Beautifully decorated and in an immaculate condition property with incredibly friendly staff. Book Mountain View suite and you won't regret. And don't forget to ask Karloff (who is exceptional) for best local tips and recommendations.

Amazing 2nd visit

We chose to stay here again after an amazing first visit in Nov 2022. Justin Mitchell, who I understand is Operations Director for the entire hotel group (Oyster Collection), was brilliant, as always. From my first email to him, months before we arrived, to saying goodbye at the end of our visit. His staff are well informed, attentive, yet beautifully informal in their approach. It remains one of the nicest places my husband & I have ever stayed in. We can't wait to come back!

Superb!!

Considering the fact that we have booked the hotel only 15 minutes before arriving, everything was perfect from start to finish. Extremely friendly staff and feeling like we’re at home from the moment we walked in. Room was ready within minutes (despite the spontaneous arrival) though we would have happily waited longer as the host Justin has poured us a nice and chilled glass of wine and allowed us to settle. And what a host he was! Justin has helped us organise the whole stay, made fantastic recommendations on things to do and even assisted with dinner bookings in fantastic places. Truly a wonderful stay and close to everything you need, restaurants, wine tram and vineyards! Huge thank you and we definitely will be coming back sooner than we expected! Paulina and J

In-town quiet and comfort

We loved every aspect of our stay from the room to the grounds and great staff. The location was great - walk anywhere in town but one block off the Main Street so a little quieter. We would definitely come back.

Perfect place to stay and just walk into town!

We got a really warm welcome from Justin and Anna and things just went on from there for our 3 night stay . Lovely room , beautiful gardens , great breakfasts and always friendly help on hand to help make the most of our time in Franschhoek. Justin organised all our dinner bookings and we therefore went to some really nice and hard to get places ( especially Foliage). Staying at Avondrood was great choice and we just loved Franschhoek with its stylish charm , fantastic vinyards and lots to see and do. Thanks Justin , Anna and all the team at Avondrood.
