Franschhoek is in the Cape winelands and our drive to the Franschhoek valley was an easy, 45 minutes from Cape Town. We were booked into a luxury room, but on arrival we were delighted to be upgraded to an large and opulent 'boudoir chic' villa Suite. Loved the cosy lounge with fireplace and relaxing on the loungers on our balcony.... more

We had a simply wonderfult time at Franschhoek Country House. We stayed in the entry level standard rooms in the main building and it was just perfect with a lot of charm and character. The manager showed us around and admittedly the other room types are more luxurious and especially the suites which is simply stunning and well worth the... more

If I'm honest, I was more nervous about this hotel than of any of the seven places I booked on our two week tour. They were slow getting back to my email inquries, and were the only hotel to deduct the full charge for two nights before we'd even left the UK. We booked the FCH as our final two... more

After reading mixed reviews on the tripadvisor we where scared of what we where going to get. I love the interior of the house, the staff where all friendly and had good knowledge about the area and restaurants as we heard that franschoek is the Food and Wine capital of South Africa. I must agree that it's very expensive compared... more

We were in a superior room in one of the villas near the bar and dining room. Although our room was of an acceptable standard for a... more

We have stayed in a Villa Suite which is spacious and comfortable with an excellent bathroom and comfortable bed. The longe is well furnished although we found the TV difficult to understand but the staff were very... more

I was very worried by some of the previous reviews, but we really enjoyed our night at this hotel. We received a complimentary upgrade from standard to luxury as the trip was celebratory, and the room we were moved to was stunning - huge, with a large seating area, wraparound windows looking out onto the grounds, a fireplace (which they... more

We stayed for four nights in spring where the weather varied from lovely sunny and hot to cool and wet. When the weather wasn't so great, the staff lit fires in the lounge areas of the accommodation (we stayed in beautiful large deluxe rooms in the grounds of the house) which just added to the overall magical ambiance of the... more

Cant recomment it highly enough. Everything was just perfect and the staff made it special. Nothing was ever too much to ask. Relaxed and easy going. We will definitely return and can highly recommend it! more
