Short & easy walk to Franschhoek where you can find restaurants & shopping. This little gem is a clean and well cared for property, the pool was great for cooling off after a hot day.

This place is an absolute gem and would recommend it to all including friends and family. The location is very convenient for restaurants, shops, wineries and everything else. The property is very quaint with superb decor with wonderful little touches - like homemade treats, complimentary drinks. The staff are all very helpful and can't do enough for you. The breakfasts are very tasty and varied, to set you up for the day!! Will definitely return when next in Franschook.

Uma experiência agradabilíssima

Muito lindo, bastante confortável, tudo de muito bom gosto, mas o ponto alto da acomodação é o staff. Todos são muitíssimo atenciosos e desde o momento do check-in já fomos acolhidos de uma maneira carinhosa e atenciosa. Todos se esforçam para tornar a estada dos hóspedes melhor. O café da manhã é delicioso e disponibilizam no espaço onde é servido o café da manhã, durante todo o dia, café, chá, além de alguns quitutes, bolachas etc. A localização é excelente, bem proxima ao Wine Tram e aos bons restaurantes. Experimentamos três indicações da gerente do hotel, todos eles excelentes. Ela inclusive se ofereceu para fazer a reserva por nós. Recomendo fortemente e espero poder voltar um dia

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Be very careful the property is not maintained and the outside area is extremely dirty . The pool was so murky you couldn’t see the bottom , the staff blamed the wind but it was certainly a lot more than wind causing the dirt and debris around the property . Maintenance is a major problem for them . The manager cindy promised a refund for our last night when we decided to check out early due to the problems, two months later I am still waiting . There is plenty more Places to chose from , I would avoid this place at all cost

Äldre hotell på bra gångavstånd

Ok äldre hotell med bra sängar men knarrande golv. Wi-fi fungerade inte under 75% av vår vistelse på 2 dagar. Frukost ok men kunde vara lite rikligare. Mycket småplock. Bra gångavstånd till centrum och ligger i ett lugnt område.

We had an amazing stay at Ashbourne Guest House! Courtney and Cindy greeted us with a glass of wine and made us feel at home right away. The room was very spacious and clean. The fridge was stocked with many different choices and there were snacks available in the room too (both for purchase). Breakfast in the morning is freshly made baked goods, fruits, meats, cheeses and a full hot menu to choose from (including dim sum of all things!). The B&B is walking distance to both the main street and the wine tram. It’s safe at night and load shedding wasn’t an issue as they have generators. We stayed in the poolside room and would recommend anyone stay there. It’s a very peaceful and quiet B&B.
