My husband and I have stayed here before previously for an anniversary while we were still dating, so I'm also basing my review on my stay here back in October 2010. My main review comes from my Bachelorette's Party that was held out on the lawn under the gazebo at the same venue, much to my delight. Val d'Or were... More

A guesthouse that gives you a feeling of luxury. We stayed in the barnhouse suite, which is worth every penny. Spacious bathroom, huge balcony with a magnificent view over the surrounding vineyards. The breakfast buffet could use a slightly wider variety of cheeses. But we are Dutch, so ..... The pool is situated just away from the building, so no... More

Stayed here for a few days in January, in the self catering rooms and we were happy here. The rooms were adequate and functional and served it's purpose. I wasn't completely blown away but I still enjoyed my stay :-) Actually, not a complaint, but more a suggestion: A small microwave in the room would have been nice and would... More

Val D’or Estates is a well manicured tasteful estate that has an excellent location nestled amongst rows of ripening grapes bound for the nearby wineries. Our reception was warm and cordial, and our room was thoughtfully appointed. The grounds are extremely beautiful with warm vibrant flowers in the foreground that create a perfect contrast to the golden sun setting over... More

This is a nice little guesthouse just before Franschhoek. It has lovely view of the mountains, a stunning, spaceous bathroom and great swimming pool and recreational area. This is great for a quick getaway escaping busy city life and is close to all Franschhoek points of interest. We were served with a nice breakfast selection the next morning. Would recommend... More

The guest house is near to downtown, actually in the same road, and it's a lovely place to spend some days in a couple or with the family. The rooms are very spacious. There is a big garden and a swimming pool in front of the rooms with a beautiful view. There is a playground for the kids too. The... More

We stayed at Val d'Or in the middle of South African winter - cold enough to see our breath and have the car frosted in the morning. We enjoyed ourselves totally in a very comfortable and relaxing set up. Underfloor heating was extremely welcome. While we braaied on the first evening, it was definitely too cold to repeat it the...

We went to this B&B end December 2011. I know it's already some months ago, but still... every objective review is a good one. Environment: ------------------ The environment, sights, garden... are beautiful. The establishment is also not directly located at the main road, so it's so peacefull. Sights are overwhelming, but let's be honest... whereever you stay in Franschhoek, sights... More

Dear Freshke Thank you for your review. To address your comments you had in December 2011; 1.Val d’Or Estate has a new manager, and hopefully she will not be visibly stressed in trying to offer the best experience, in the future. 2.Our breakfasts are value added, as we are a guest house, and not a restaurant. Our Full English Breakfasts... More

Stunning place!! We can't wait to have our wedding at Val d'Or, it's the perfect setting, and the manageress and staff were so friendly and efficient on our previous stay, that it was the obvious choice for our wedding.
