We really enjoyed our 2 nights at Lekkerwijn. Simon provided excellent advice on places to visit, and also reserved an excellent restaurant for the night of our arrival. We really enjoyed sharing breakfast around a large family dining table with all other guests, and the food on offer was excellent. Both evenings we had opportunity to chat with other guests... More

This was our second visit to Lekkerwijn and we feel sure we will return again. The rooms are individual and comfortable,the courtyard unique for this period of home ad the welcome from Simon and Ross made for a very special two night stay. Lekkerwijn is not a luxury class home--but is steeped in history which the owners will be delighted... More

Delightful thatched property steeped in history set in the heart of the winelands. Simon & Ross went out of their way to accommodate us at the last minute. The location was fabulous, surrounded by mountains and vineyards. We enjoyed the historical guided tour by Simon. Breakfast was a little slow in the morning but then we were always the last... More

We stayed the first time in Leckerwijn and were surprised about the warm welcome from Simon and Ross. The Leckerwijn isn't a luxury boutique hotel but tells you a story about past time and has a special spirit. We spent only one night at this charming house but enjoyed the supper in the romantic courtyard and also the copious breakfast... More

We spent four nights at the "Ballroom Cottage" on the Lekkerwijn estate, near Franschoek in January. Ross, the co-owner, was very helpful and accommodating and the cottage was a delightful place! Breakfast was fabulous and the staff very friendly. We made use of the pool several afternoons and BBQ'd most nights. Lekkerwijn's central location enabled us to sample several of... More

I have now stayed here twice with children and it really is great, unique and staff are very helpful with child-minding services, taxi assistance and even a walk-through tour of the treasures in the house.

Over the past 10 years we have stayed in 5 different rooms in this charming and beautiful historic home, each one full of atmosphere. Don't expect minibars etc.; this is a real home and you'll get a warm reception from Simon, Ross and their attentive staff.

We stayed three nights in Lekkerwijn in the Garden Room, which has its own small private garden and is situated in the grounds away from the main house. It was so peaceful and we really enjoyed coming back after a busy day and sitting in the garden with a glass of wine. The room has been skilfully arranged to provide... More

We stayed at Lekkerwijn for 2 nights in the Peacock room in Dec 2012. The property offered everything we needed (and more!) It is within walking distance (20 mins) of Boschendaal Estate, which allows for a wine tasting, a lovely lunch and no driving. It also is a 10 min drive away from lovely Franschhoek and our hosts at Lekkerwijn... More
