4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

First things first: This luxurious and well appointed accommodation is about as far away from what you would expect from a guest-house as anything you can imagine! Beautiful rooms with open fireplaces, zebra skin rugs, huge marble-covered bathrooms and a bottle of complimentary port just about sums up your own quarters. The communal areas are spotless, and well decorated, with... More

This place is truly magnificant. Run by Christina and Wolfgang who always welcome you back with open arms. Franschhoek Manor has become a permanent stop on our itinerary when visting South Africa. The location is perfect, nestled just off the main road, with spectacular views. Every room has a personal touch and your needs are met before you even knew... More

I honestly don't understand why this B&B is not ranked as #1! This place is simply amazing. Design of the room, the wood fire and quality of linen and bath towels. Wolfgang and Christina running this place on their best. Everything they do has eye to detail which you (unfortunately) don't see very often and especially in B&B's. While Cindy... More

Franschhoek Manor is a very nice B&B. the rooms are very nice - we stayed in the Purple and Blue rooms. The owner (Wolfgang) was nice, though I got the sense we would be wise to play by his rules, which we did! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with great views out on to the mountains. The pool is very... More

Thank you for your comments and I appreciate that you like the place! Although you obviously have alternative places in mind, I entirely agree, there are always alternatives. It was a pleasure having accommodated you and I'm sorry when I'm not having fulfilled your expectations. Wolfgang. More

Hands down one of the most beautiful and unique properties I stayed at while on my 2 week tour of S.A. From the pool area to the individual guest rooms and eating area, everything looked like it belonged in a magazine shoot. The manor is very conveniently located close to town (about a 10min walk) and has lovely views of... More

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in March. This was our 5th visit to Franschhoek and definitely our best, which was made special by our stay at the Manor. A very special place in a very special setting. The hosts Wolfgang and Christiana were very welcoming, and we were very impressed with the attention to detail to everything.... More

What an absolutely fantastic gem. It's the perfect combination of comfort and sophistication. The Purple Room is not as small as you may think and is actually quite large. The whole house is beautifully decorated, the gardens impeccably well kept, the views breathtaking and the service first class.

Dear Alex, thanks for your review, it was a pleasure to accommodate you here. You are right, the Purple Room is not as small as someone may think but frankly, it is the smallest of our rooms. We would love to have you back again soon. Best Regards Wolfgang More
