We stayed at Val d'Or by recommendation of friends who'd visited previously, and we were not disappointed. The location is simply perfect and the hotel offers excellent facilities a short drive from Franschhoek town centre. We stayed in the bridal suite (we've been married for nearly 40 years but appreciated the offer), which was extremely comfortable with all facilities needed.... More

We decided to spend two nights at Val d'Or simply by finding in here on TripAdvisor and reading the reviews. What a find!! The good reviews could not have been more accurate--Val d'Or is incredible. STUNNINGLY beautiful--as in "stop-in-your-tracks-to-gasp-and-stare-in-stunned-silence" beautiful. Located in a valley surrounded by mountains and right on the main 'drag' through Franschhoek, you can literally walk to... More

We had the most amazing wedding at Val d'Or Estate in December! The venue is breath taking and everything went so smoothly. The rooms are massive, and easily accommodated my guests' every need. The ceremony under the lapa at the pool, with the mountains as a backdrop set the stage for a perfect evening. The Reception was even better -... More

We were part of a family wedding held in the area and our accommodation was booked at Val d'Or for a period of 4 nights. Our party consisted of a number of children and babies as well as adults, young and old, all of whom had travelled from far flung places in the world. This could not have been a... More

We ended our South African holiday with an overnight stop at Val d,Or which we had booked through the internet. I would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy beautiful scenery , great facilities and top class service. We stayed in a "Barn Room" which was modern, spacious and very comfortable. Bob C Stirling More

We were a little early for check-in times but when we walked in we... More
