I arrived from the UK and was greeted personally by the owner and managers who at all times provided helpful information about the local area, things to do, things to see and those overpriced, pretentious places to avoid. Local environment and scenery is rarely matched. A comfortable walk to the local town and 60 minutes from Cape Town. The room... More

My wife and I stayed at Dieu Donné for 3 nights – December 24, 25 and 26, in the all-white Pine Room. While the room did appear a smidge smaller than what we assumed by looking at the Dieu Donné website (as noted by a few other reviewers as well), it did not lack in amenities. The options at breakfast... More

I have been meaning to write a review both times we stayed here, as our last visit was way back in January 2009! We love Franschhoek and if we are in this part of SA, have to spend a couple of nights here. Personally I love the scenery, breakfast has always been delicious and we have always been received with... More

Dieu Donne achieves what many guest houses / resorts aim at but seldom achieve - they combine elegance, warm hospitality, excellent food & humour to provide an experience that makes you wish your weekend or holiday would never end. Superb bedding, peace & quiet, romantic and close to Franschhoek town. More

We stayed at Dieu Donne Guest Farm for two nights in July 2011. What is so wonderful about this farm is that it is quiet and peaceful with beautiful views and not as commercialised as the wine farm with the same name which is on the other side of Franschoek. The Mandela room we stayed in, although not huge, was... More

The website does a great job and the rooms did not quite live up to it. In saying this I enjoyed the place! Quiet and private and the service was good. The staff was very helpfull about activities in the area and me and my girlfriend enjoyed the franschoek experience very much. My girlfriend loves cats so she loved the... More

Beware...this place NOT associated with the restaurant/vineyard across the valley, and we not informed so on booking. Caretaker "managers" are aloof, brusque & slightly unhelpful. The pool was dirty, and the "jacuzzi" very dated & had frog spawn floating around. The room was shabby chic & cheaply furnished. Avoid. More

We stayed at Dieu Donne Guest Farm for the last two nights of our honeymoon. We had incorrectly believed this to be adjacent to the Dieu Donne winery which was in fact on the other side of the valley. We stayed in Pine Room which was very comfortable although smaller than I had anticipated from the pictures on the website.... More

We stayed at Dieu Donne in March 2009 for a couple of nights. We booked after seeing the accommodation on the web site, I have to say the web site does an excellent job. It certainly made the rooms look huge. Although the rooms are nice they are pretty small and the bathroom is partly in the room so you... More
