This was one of our favourite stays during our travels around South Africa. The room was spacious and had all the facilities you could ask for plus it was in a fantastic location for Franschhoek. Saydee was a great host very responsive, made us feel at home and was brilliant with our children too. Would definitely stay here again.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even going out of their way to help me with my late flight. They were so nice that they let me access my room after check-out. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

We had a very nice stay and I can recommend the hotel. Great breakfast omeletts and good coffee. Nice, spacious and clean rooms. Since it was pouring down, we could not enjoy the garden and the pool, but instead Netflix was highly appreciated.
