What a little gem to find in wonderful Franschhoek - a charming little apartment in a beautiful situation, just a few minutes walk from the main street, well equipped and a swimming pool too. A perfect base for exploring the fabulous Western Cape and the winelands in particular. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hopefully will be back. Enjoyed the company... More

Sunny Lane was a lovely well situated appartment in Franschhoek. Barbara was a very discreet but friendly owner, and being on holiday on my own, I felt safe, secure and very happy there. I had the larger of the two appartments which was huge for one person and had everything I needed, but the crowning glory was the lovely patio... More

Perfect little studio apartment, extremely well equipped and two blocks from the main street. Barbara & co were available nearby if we had any questions but were otherwise discreet (which is fine – it’s an apartment, not a hotel!) They supplied us with a little braai on request and it was nice to self cater for a few days after... More

Clean accomodation, nice little swimming pool and a very welcoming atmosphere. This is not a party place, but a nice, quiet, peaceful and neat place for exploring all the good things Franschhoek has to offer.

We stayed for a few days here and found the place relaxing, spacious, and well equipped for some home cooked meals (there are some well equipped grocery stalls in Franschhoek). The only problem were the fruit flies - but if you closed the doors earlier in the night they were not a problem.

We have been going to Sunny Lane for the last 3 years and could not think of going anywhere else in Franschhoek. The guest house is well placed just off the main road so you are close to everything and is very peaceful and quiet. The rooms are private and share a lovely pool area. Both rooms have great security... More

We had a lovely little stay at Sunny Lane. We stayed in the smaller of the 2 cottages, and although it was not very big, it was perfect for us. It had a large comfy bed, small kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower; you don't need much else for a room. It was great value for money and one of... More

This apartment surpassed our expectations! Located in an adorable garden with a pool, just 2 blocks from the main strip, this was the perfect guest cottage for my husband and I and our single friend. We even walked to 3 wineries and a top-rated, world class restaurant from our front door. The furnished apartment has everything you need to make... More

Sunny lane is excellent value. We stayed for three nights in the larger cottage in May 2012, and found it wonderfully spacious, warm and clean. The underfloor heating worked a treat and the cotton sheets and good mattress were great. The bathroom is huge and lovely. Several books and brochures about the attractions of the town helped us select restaurants... More

We had a lovely stay at Sunny Lane, the charlet was very clean and everything that you would need in a self-catering charlet. The small kitchen has all the necessary for you to prepare a meal. The location is also very close to town and we walked to the shops and restaurants! We also had a lovely braai and we... More
