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.
