La Fontaine was okay -- definitely comfortable and well-located but nothing to rave about. The swimming pool was pleasant. The bathroom was spacious and had a great skylight, which let in tons of light. The skylight in the bedroom, however, was covered by a shade which was broken and would not retract, which made the room quite dark. It would...

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at La Fontaine. We will certainly attend to the catch on the ceiling skylight so that one can let in more light. We are looking at ideas to make the Lavender room's patio more private and have asked our son who is a qualified landscaper for his advice. He gained wonderful...

La Fontaine was a fantastically charming guest-house in Franschoek, a fantastically charming little town. We arrived early, so our rooms weren’t ready, but the owner/operator took time with us to make our dinner arrangements for the next two nights. We then proceeded to pass out in the living room lobby while waiting for our room to be cleared. This was...

A lovely place with large rooms and even larger loos with old fashioned claw footed baths. We stayed in the annexe which gave us a feeling it was our own home, especially with the complimentary port and sherry. Sadly it rained throughout our visit so we didn't enjoy the very inviting garden and wrap around verandah.
The hosts are charming..we...

La Fontaine is in a great location a few minutes walk to Franschhoek's main street, where there are excellent restaurants, shops and even a great chocolate shop. Franschhoek has a relaxed feel about it and a lovely place to chill and take in the scenery and of course try the wine and wonderful food on offer. The guest rooms are...

This guest house is superbly located in Franschhoek. The staff were very helpful and sorted out restaurants and a wine tour for us. The room was good (room 2) and the bed was exceptionally comfortable! No TV in the room but there are a couple of lounges with TV's if you wanted. There is a lovely communal balcony where you...

Thank you for posting a review on your stay at La Fontaine and bringing to our notice that the service at breakfast was slow. To maintain our high standards, we cook the hot breakfast on demand so nothing is left standing in a bain marie for hours to get hard and leathery! We will try our best to quicken the...

We were initially booked to stay in Stellenbosch, but really glad we went to Franschhoek instead. The location of La Fontaine is excellent and it's a short stroll down to the main street where there are great places to eat, shop etc. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful (including the resident cat) and the entire property was tastefully decorated....

We booked La Fontaine on the back of Trip Advisor for two days during our recent trip to South Africa. Franschhoek is a lovely village about 40 minutes from Stellenbosch and, in my mind, much nicer. There is a main street which has the restaurants and shops with the wineries all close by. Consequently, we wanted a guest house near...

We stayed here for two nights and from the moment we arrived we had a lovely sense of welcome and warmth. The guest house is beautiful, lovely decor, beautiful garden and court yard where we enjoyed a gorgeous breakfast. We didn't get to meet Kathie but she very kindly took the bother to contact us once home because we had...

I really enjoyed my stay at the La Fontaine Guest House. Originally I only booked for 2 nights. But after meeting the two ladies, Cathy and Dawn, who work there (Cathy owns the place with her husband Richard), I felt totally at home and decided to extend my stay for a week. They, and the entire staff are extremely welcoming...
