La Fontaine was a real teat with the children. we stayed in 2 other 5 Star guest houses whilst in South Africa but actually loved staying at La Fontaine the most. Kathy was wonderful with the children and all her staff very friendly. Although this is a 4 star guest house the hospitality is very much 5 star. The stable... more

I loved this B&B. We stayed for 2 nights in beautiful Franschhoek. The rooms were comfortable and clean. There was a large bathroom with a giant bathtub perfect for soaks after long days of touring Stellenbosch and tasting wine. We especially appreciated the self service bar and complimentary port and sherry so we could wind down and talk about the... more

We stayed a night here while on the Garden Route. La Fontaine is thoughtfully decorated, run by friendly staff and serves an excellent breakfast. The Guest House used to be an old school boarding hostel and has a traditional feel to it, in keeping with much of Franschoek. its a block behind the main strip where the restaurants like Reubens... more

We stumbled upon La Fontaine late on a rainy night and were very thankful that they had a room available for us. What we didn't realize was how gorgeous the room would be. It was very large with a fireplace, kitchen, sitting room, and enormous bathroom. Unlike many other hotels in South Africa, it's actually warm in the winter! The... more

We had a lovely couple of nights here. The room was large and decorated to a high standard with beautiful views from the window. There was also a separate sharing living room with a balcony and fridge full of drinks. The guest house owners were very helpful, booking our restaurant on our first night and also dropping us off at... more

Travelling on my own can be difficult but staying at La Fontaine was a lovely experience and I can't wait to go back. I was welcomed warmly and made to feel at home right away. My room was upstairs in this beautiful house. It was a large, comfortable room, spotlessly clean and contained everything needed for my stay. Although it... more

My boyfriend and I spent a lovely, relaxed weekend at the La Fontiane Guest House. Situated just off the main street, it was in a short walking distance from everything which was really useful after a night amazing food and a little too much good wine at Rubens. The converted house was charming with wooden floors and elegant but comfortable... more

Was looking forward to staying at this place as it looked gorgeous. They had also arranged a great restaurant for us. On arrival we had a somewhat frosty greeting from a woman. We were shown to our room. It was a good size with a good sized bathroom. It looked great. It is a stones throw from the restaurants which... more

We had high hopes for La Fontaine after reading all the reviews on this site, but overall we were disappointed with what we got. Location-wise the house is perfect - it's an easy walk to lots of local restaurants and right in the centre of Franschhoek. The room was a fairly decent size, but there was too much large furniture... more

I would like to repsond to the "disappointing" review: Furniture too large: I have re-looked at the room and I think we can certainly make improvements Insect spray: housekeeper left the can of spray in error. A more "eco-friendly" product shall be sourced for the ants Strong anti-septic smell in the bathroom: alternative products to be sourced Gravel: used for...
