We stayed here during the Franschhoek Literary Festival in May 2013 and it was excellent - conveniently close to all the festival venues, walking distance from restaurants and shops. Our en-suite room was large and comfortable, and we had free wi-fi and the use of a fully equipped kitchen. Friendly, helpful staff.

The place itself is quite average. It's clean, not very inspiring, but comfortable. However the owner picked us up from Capetwon, dropped us at the Airport and arranged the best restaurants and trips for us. We had interesting conversations with them which made our stay more interesting then our average hotel stay. Wiuld defintly go there again!

This guesthouse is situated within walking distance from all the lovely restaurants. The lodge itself is basic but good value for money, we had an en suite room with the possibility of using a clean well equipped kitchen. The only detail which I disliked is that we discovered a kind of a frog in the room during the night. We... More

Hostess "V" was really accommodating and made us very welcome. We had a 6 bed dorm to ourselves which was great as we were travelling with 2 young girls. Kitchen facilities were plentiful and well stacked, and lots of bathrooms, although the one closest to us was rather smelly ... Bit tatty in places, but for the price really reasonable... More

The hostess "V" was absolutely amazing , and went out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. She knows how to talk to people, and knows the industry she is in. The General Manager on the other hand is a Rude, and arrogant old man, and should not be in charge of any place where people are involved as... More

The location is awesome...just a couple of streets back from the centre of town. The decor inside the place is very old and the lounge consisted of a few very old chairs and an old tv in the corner...no heater or fireplace. The bedroom was very basic but warm and clean. The shared bathroom could have been cleaner. Also when... More

I was part of a group of 25 South Africans who stayed here over a long weekend. The venue was superb! The rooms were clean and are furnished with comfortable beds, clean linen and fun blankets. The towels were thick and of good quality. The showers were spotless with plenty of hot water. Our group took over the large kitchen... More
