Stayed here in March for a few nights and felt right at home (only warm). The decor is modern with soft natural colours which give a light and airy feel to the whole place. Very large bathroom with bath and shower. The bedroom was also large with a triple aspect including a good sized balcony with table & chairs. It... More

We weren't disappointed at all and wished that we had... More

I loved this guest house as it was typically modern South African. Clean, bright, soft colours, smart decor and gorgeous views. We woke up to views of the mountains followed by an expertly cooked breakfast by some delightful staff. I liked the proximity to the village of Franschoek as it was so quiet and restful and if you didn't feel... More

Beautiful guest house. Lovely spacious rooms, amazing breakfast, and helpful friendly staff. I did see that others had written that it is a bit far from town to walk. We thought it was reasonable walk during daylight. 5 stars without a second thought!

Great Bed and Breakfast and very good location in the superb town of Franschoek. Lovely rooms - modern with great interior design; super breakfast, pool and views. Highly recommended. The town has excellent restaurants and shops although the latter are a little commercialised for tourists. It is a fantastic location from which to explore the winelands.
