The ground and building were glorious and the staff very approachable and helpful. The Friday night BBQ was the highlight, eating pizzas and drinking wine under the illuminated tree boulevard was wonderful.

This is one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed in... And I stayed in many! ;-) the stone cottage we booked was simply amazing. It's an old cottage that has been modernised with great lights, AC/heating, a modern shower and a comfortable huge bed. You completely have your privacy, in summer you can sit outside and in the winter you can make a fire in the room. It's very romantic and has a lot of room! Breakfast was delicious and staff very forthcoming. I would love to return!

We had 4 amazing days and we are definitely coming back in the future. The house was very spacious and close to a small mountain river, which we bathed in when it was hot outside, it was perfect! You can really find peace and are not disturbed by anything. We slept so good during the night, the bed was amazing and the aircons were lovely during the hottest days. We cooked breakfast in the morning, had a braai.. and the service/communication was excellent. It was just perfect!Thanks for everything Tim!

We loved our cosy cottage. It is very well equipped with modern, high quality furniture, linen and towels. It really is the perfect accommodation for a couple. The apartment was bigger than expected. The pool on the property is lovely to refresh in and we loved the community garden, where we picked some passionfruit for breakfast. We would love to come back one day! Thx, Martina & Max

The unit was very spacious, clean and well equipped. The washing machine and tumble dryer was a bonus! The unit is close to shops and restaurants, so we walked everywhere we wanted to go and felt safe to do so, even at night.

We had such a wonderful stay at this charming self-catering cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our host, Lodewyk, who was absolutely fantastic. He handed over the keys, gave us a quick and helpful run-through of everything we needed to know, and made us feel right at home from the start. Super friendly and easy to chat with, he even checked in with us via WhatsApp during our stay to make sure we were doing okay and helped us figure out transportation options to town, including a great TukTuk alternative! While the cottage isn’t directly in the town center, we actually enjoyed the short stroll in—it’s located in a peaceful, safe neighborhood where we felt completely comfortable at all times. The cottage itself is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated; with all the comforts you could want. We loved the cozy fireplace on the chilly evenings (with wood thoughtfully provided), and the electric heated blanket on the bed was a wonderful touch. It made for the perfect Netflix-and-chill kind of evening! The kitchen was fully equipped, and we especially appreciated the Nespresso machine and coffee pods—such a lovely detail. The space is ideal for a couple, with a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly. Lodewyk is a fantastic host, and this cottage is a gem—private, peaceful, and perfectly appointed. We’ll definitely be back!

Located on a wonderful farm property,on the left as you approach the town. I felt like I was somewhere in the countryside of France. It's rustic and charming and unpretentious. We stayed in the main common area upstairs in a loft room, which was cozy with a fireplace. The bed slept well with a luxurious open bath tub and lovely large patio area, which looked out onto huge trees and different mountains views. The staff felt like family and made us feel so welcome. It was a wonderful short stay, and we would definitely consider it again.

Honestly the most beautiful and charming little cottage in a wonderful spot. The cottage was clean - had lovely smeg appliances, a fantastic view and only a few minutes from town. We especially loved the fire wood hot tub and the braii on the front stoop. We loved how they use the offcuts of the vines for firewood. We will be back!!!

The property has beautiful views, and the cottage is cozy. The fireplace and gas heater kept us warm. The hot tub was a great feature, but it did take 4 hours to heat up, not 1.5 as stated in the instructions. It was very cold which probably played a role though. Some lights still worked during load shedding and there was a small gas stove for use during load shedding, which was all useful. There was a bottle of Courchevel rosé in the fridge which we enjoyed!

Tranquil and secluded location with exceptional views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for self catering, with a great BBQ and outdoor fire pit, log burning hot tub and open fireplace in the lounge. The outdoor sitting area is spacious and enjoyable to take in the views, see the horses in the paddock and watch the sunset. Conveniently located to Franschhoek for the amenities and great restaurants. Did enjoy the excellent rose from the vineyard too.
