Reviews and Ratings
I had an incredible time during my stay at this boutique hotel, nestled perfectly in the heart of Franschhoek. The rooms are not only cozy but also boast stunning views of the mountains and vineyards, truly elevating the experience. The service from Yolanda and her team made me feel right at home, and the breakfast was both delightful and well-managed, adhering to all the necessary protocols. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of this beautiful place.
I had a pleasant stay with warm and helpful staff, which made my visit enjoyable. The hotel has wonderful views of the mountain range, and my room was comfortable though a bit snug. However, service was affected due to Covid, and the lack of amenities like a gym and pool was noticeable. Overall, it felt more like a boutique experience without being fully equipped for a luxurious stay.
This boutique hotel is truly a gem tucked away from the bustling main road. The rooms are modern and beautifully decorated, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, and the breakfast options are delightful. However, while everything else was fantastic, I did wish for a larger window to enjoy the views fully.
This hotel offers an ideal base in the heart of Franschhoek, with stunning views and well-designed rooms. The attentive service and cozy ambiance made our stay enjoyable. Although our bathroom had some issues with the water quality, the overall experience was positive. The delicious breakfast and great dinner options added to the value for money, making it a place I would certainly recommend.
I recently stayed at this boutique hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The rooms are spacious, modern, and comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. The location is excellent, with everything within walking distance. However, the service was inconsistent, and there were some hiccups during our stay that were a bit disappointing. Also, I felt the breakfast could use improvement as it didn’t quite meet my expectations.
