Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms are cozy and come with a private balcony, a first-class shower, and delicious biscuits. However, there are no windows or outlook, just a skylight. The service was top-notch with room service available, and the location was convenient, just a few minutes walk to the lovely center. The dining experience was enjoyable with omelettes cooked fresh to order. Overall, a good value for money.

The hotel is beautifully located in the heart of Franschhoek, within a relaxed area just a few minutes' walk from the vibrant town center. The rooms offer a perfect blend of Victorian charm and modern comfort, although they can be a bit pricey. The service is top-notch, and the dining experience is a delightful culinary journey with freshly baked goodies but may not be ideal for those looking for local dishes exclusively.
