We absolutely loved our stay at Akademie Street Boutique Hotel. We were greeted with an warm welcome from the team and felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms are stunning, clean and spacious. The evening cocktails and wine are a wonderful touch and the breakfast is a must! Location is walkable to main strip with a fantastic selection of restaurants and shops.

The Akademie Street Boutique hotel and staff exceeded all expectations. The rooms are lovely and the amenities outstanding. The breakfast options are plentiful and delicious. We had cocktails or wine every evening in the orangerie which is lovely. The pool and hot tub are wonderful as well. We can’t say enough about the exceptional service provided by all of the staff. They also communicated well by email prior to our trip which was very reassuring and provided us options for transportation from the airport and back to Cape Town. We highly recommend Franschhoek and this lovely hotel which is in easy walking distance into town. Thanks to the wonderful Akademie team.

Declan was an incredible host and his staff made every effort to accommodate us at every turn. Local wines by the fire in the conservatory was such a comfortable way to unwind in the evenings. Declan managed to get us last minute dinner reservations at Rubens which was spectacular. The inn is steps from all the Franschhoek has to offer. This is the place to stay while visiting this charming wine region!
