We stayed at Le Franschhoek for our first wedding anniversary, and it did not disappoint. The room was beautiful, with a huge balcony overlooking the mountains and the gardens. The staff could not do enough to help, and the little touches like the turn down and the robes made it feel very special. The food in the orchard restaurant was... more

we stayed at le Franschhoek as the 2nd hotel of our 18 night trip to South Africa. It is situated high in the Franschhoek valley and is an incredibly beautiful hotel, our room was divine with a 4 poster bed, thatch roof and stunning view. The staff were all very friendly giving us directions for our evening meals - including... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in mid-September. The hotel is truly gorgeous. The grounds are well maintained and the public spaces modern but comfortable. We did not eat dinner here, but did grab a late lunch upon arrival. The lunch was served outside in little private greenhouses which we enjoyed. I had tomato soup and their... more

Spent 2 nights in early spring at this lovely hotel. The weather was wet and a bit cold but the warm welcome we received made up for that. A large log fire was burning in the Reception area and our first sight of the Lounge all decorated in white was stunning. Our bedroom was large and well equiped with all... more

This hotel was recommended to us and we were not sorry we chose it. The location and style of the hotel is superb, beautiful mountain backdrop, a little way from the town, thatched roof, lovely bars and pool etc etc. The room was excellent - an oversized room with muted grey coloured decor - all very tasteful with four poster... more

Room 25 under the thatch and over-sized was spotless. Not sure why there are bad reviews as I only found this to be pleasurable and would recommend it without reservation. Only had breakfast which... more

The villa looked shabby: chipped tables, stained carpets, loose fittings, broken door handle.The housekeeping was erratic: wet towels were folded and hung back on the rack, others were removed and not replaced, soap was removed and not replaced, sheets were not changed during our 4 night stay, carpets and... more

DON'T STAY HERE!!! I travelled the garden route with my family and stayed in several places on route - this was by far the worst place we stayed in. Service - extremely slow and poor. The hotel staff were unenthusiastic and less than helpful. Breakfast - we were treated like conference delegates! The cooked breakfast was often cold and poorly... more

We enjoyed our stay. Nice decoartion. Our room was small but clean. Hotel is a bit far from town. Staff was friendly. If you like the atmosphere of a bigger hotel - stay here. more
