We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. It is in a quiet area towards the hills, but all of Franschhoek is in walking distance. The rooms are beautifully decorated and we loved the breakfast buffet. Thanks to Jason who helped us with the reservations of the very good restaurants in and around Franschhoek.

I stayed here with my family for two nights and would thoroughly recommend to everyone. Our rooms were large, airy and spotless and the beds extremely comfortable. Sprigs of lavender decorated the room, which was a nice extra touch. We were made to feel very welcome by Don and the rest of the staff, who were happy to take the... More

I stayed here with friends in August 12 and was keen to return when I travelled to S Africa with my sister and elderly mother in April 13. Samantha, Don, Thelma and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We were welcomed warmly and treated very well indeed. The rooms are spacious and spotless - the little... More

I stayed at Gable Manor for 3 days whilst in town for a wedding, and it was perfect. Well situated on a quiet street. Lovely amenities, and a massive room! Breakfast is definitely worth writing home about, great eggs. I'd definitely come back!

A very nice B&B with free parking, free wi-fee in a very nice little town with very nice people and super nice restaurants. A lot of wine yards located very near this town. Next time you go to this town, order a room at Gable manor Guest House.

We stayed at Gable Manor for 3 nights at the start of a 15 night holiday in the Western Cape and were very happy with our choice. It is in a lovely quiet residential area of Franschhoek,yet within walking distance of the main street and the restaurants. We had a lovely room with a good bathroom. Breakfast was also very... More

After 7 consecutive visits you'd think we would be getting bored - not so! Over these years my wife and I have seen Franshhoek gradually change and grow, but Gable Manor keeps up its same high standards and customer comfort. Consistancy, reliability and service are important to us, yet each year, each visit, we scource something new - something we... More

I have to say we were utterly disappointed in our stay at Gable Manor. It was by far the most expensive place we stayed on our month long trip to Africa (except safari) and felt like we were staying in a miniature attic with a little tiny window. To get to the room you walk through the house, which would... More

I would like to respond on 5 points of fact. 1) This is not a miniature room – it’s 30.7 m2 with a 6.5 m2 bathroom. (330 sq ft and 70 sq ft) 2) The window is 1.13m wide by 1.24 m high – not tiny. (3’ 8” by 4’ 1”) There is also a 0.63 x 1.16 m roof... More

By all measures this boarding house was perfect. The owners have clearly gone to great lengths to make it so. We had a charming first floor room with fabulous views access to the gardens and pool. The room was immaculate. Just a little thing was not meeting the owners which by South African standards was a surprise. Oh yes breakfast... More
