"This was a lovely space for our family of 4. The apartment is nice, the location is very convenient for exploring beautiful Franschhoek, and the parking was convenient and secure. "
"The facilities at this property were very minimal for what is offered as a furnished holiday let. A salt and pepper set would have been nice. We had flat 2 which is not air conditioned but an air-conditioning unit outside our suite was noisy and disturbing."

"Most amazing. Attention to detail from the moment we checked inn all staff were incredible. From the gardeners to the reception.
Breakfast was splendid
Room was the best ever!! If you can book room 9 . You won’t be disappointed "
" No views at all unless you class a brick wall as a view. Property perfunctory and more like a backpackers place. Very noisy due to some exuberant neighbours. Staircase creased and fridge kept going off and on during the night. Most disappointing was the TV. Tho it had every channel under the sun apparently, including DSTV none of it was accessible unless you brought your own streaming access!"
"Lovely property with courteous, attentive and friendly staff. Our room was spacious and well appointed with a lovely terrace for morning coffee and relaxing afternoons. Breakfast was delicious with make to order hot items and self serve juices, fruits, yogurts and cereals. Fabulous coffee machine with a multitude of options from espresso & americano to lattes and cappuccinos. Will certainly come back if visiting Capetown again. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!"
"
nice room but balcony door didn't shut very well and quite noisey ( we didn't mention this and staff were apologetic )
We also paid for a mountain view which was oversold ( room 2) but the staff were very good and room was comfortable "
"What a gem in Franschhoek - seriously amazing staff - the warm welcome we received and continuous excellent service throughout the stay makes this place - a gem! Loved the location just outside the town, with vines flowing throughout the different room sections. Loved the art throughout the estate. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy sculptures and paintings that are a living art museum. The rooms are lovely, from the coffee machine, to the comfortable beds, gorgeous tiles in the bathroom, not to mention the lovely Charoltte Rhys soaps. A comfortable bed and a balcony with two chairs to relax and enjoy the silence and beautiful mountain views. We were made to feel so welcome. Thank you."
"The room was beautiful with the most stunning views. This place was more than a room - it was like an high end apartment. Fabulous welcome from the Esme & her staff.
Up the hill from central Franschhoek.
Would love to come back 👍"
