A little gem of a B and B just a few yards from the Main Street of Franschhoek. The rooms are very good , each with a private outside seating area. There is a spacious breakfast room and lounge for guests, together with a good swimming pool, outside seating area and a decking balcony on the roof of the hotel,... More

Having just stayed at the Last Word in Constantia we were looking forward to visiting another hotel in the group. It has a lovely feel, and also great service. Conrad provided good resturant recommendations, and also is obviously extremely knowledgeable about the area. The hotel is a fantastic location, easy walking distance to the town and resturants. Unfortunately we didn't... More

One reason we had a less than completely positive opinion of this place was, perhaps, because we were the only guests for 2 of our 3 night stay. We also thought our bathroom was tired, the walk in shower in particular needed some reparations, and I would have preferred a bathroom door rather than it being open plan on the... More

This is without doubt an amazing place. Small enough to make it feel like you are in your own home, but rooms big enough to make it feel very spacious. the service was great, the staff really friendly and the location brilliant. I would advise getting your taxi's/walking because the ones arranged by the lodge can be quite expensive given... More

Franschoek is a wonderful quaint little burg in the cape wine route. This was the splurge of our trip and we were pleased at every turn. The location is relatively central (although that's not so important in a town) yet still peaceful. Perfect for ventures to the various wineries in the area. The staff positively dotes on you and seemingly... More

After staying two nights in Stellenbosch we wanted to stay another two nights in Franschhoek to see the difference between the two places and experience their wines and food. The Hotel was very nice and we got a very warm welcome from Conrad when we got there. Our suite was huge with separate patio, bathroom and sitting area. He helped... More

Small, boutique hotel up your street? The last word wastes no opportunity to make you feel entirely pampered and spoilt. When we arrived they had already booked us a table somewhere ( le bon vivant) and were greeted by the friendliest faces in South Africa. After our dinner we returned to...well, book a room there and see. Wouldn't want to... More

We chose this accommodation based on the Trip Advisor reviews. Within short walking distance to the restaurants and excellent shopping, it is ideally located. Although on the main road the accommodation is quiet and private. The king room we stayed in was well laid out with full bath and separate shower, all part of one room but that was no... More

We spent two nights here to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect choice. At the end of the main street running through Franschoek, it is in walking distance to everything this delightful little town offers. The room was tastefully decorated, bed comfortable and the en-suite totally luxurious (great double bath and large shower). There was also a... More

Stayed the nights at the start of my South African adventure. Great beginning! Lovely intimate hotel. Superb location. Stunning food and staff who really cared. Franschhoek is a wonderful little town surrounded by great vineyards and scenery. This hotel must rank as one of the bt in the area. The tasting menu and the wines that went with the meal... More
