Charming location. Friendly staff. Beautiful property.

There were simple comforts which were missing that could have made this a far more comfortable stay. I am by no means a high maintenance guest but I do believe in the philosophy of nothing ever being too much trouble and giving your guests a warm welcome into their temporary home. This just didn’t feel the case here; a couple of requests were brushed aside and ignored (more candles for load shedding, fuel for the fire on a wet miserable evening - granted it was summer but it was 16 degrees, load shedding was happening and it was pouring with rain so if we want a fire we can have a fire…right?). The furniture was quite old fashioned and mismatched, the “complimentary” milk and coffee equated to enough for a cup, there wasn’t a shower curtain…small bits add up. On the last night when we saw the manager it wasn’t a question of “have you enjoyed your stay” but more “what time are you leaving”. And despite paying in full weeks in advance and showing proof of that, I’m still being questioned about the outstanding balance. It just didn’t feel remotely like we were welcomed as guests but were more like an inconvenience.
Equally don’t be fooled by the pics, it’s pretty but you are on a main road sandwiched between traffic and the tram, not peaceful at all. And if you’re scared of dogs just avoid - four very vocal and aggressive dogs which were fine in the end but the kids were scared of them. I won’t stay here again, sorry hosts but for Franschoek you have to up your game.

We had a one night stay with friends. Lovely setting and very comfortable cottages. For a winters break, it was quite cosy with the fireplace.

Great to have self catering so close to town, the staff were brilliant, asked for a BBQ and it was all laid out waiting for you when you return from the day out etc.

This is an adorable cottage with a ton of space and a ton of nice details like a bottle of welcome wine, converters for electronics, towel warmers, and more. The pool is tiny and not that clean but other than that we thought this was an incredible value.

The unit was spacious, clean, comfortable and private. The main road is quite busy and when sitting outside traffic could be heard all the time. The room had a very small old CRT TV, not a flat screen as advertised.
Nice stay overall, but not perfect.

It did not look like the photos and the room was full of millipedes crawling up the walls, carpet and shower. Pretty disgusting!

Nice homely place. Shiraz cottage could do with a small couch to make it more comfortable. And some outside furniture.

A spacious, self-catering accommodation at a reasonable price in a great location on Franschoek's main road. We'd use it again without hesitation.

Great location and very nice private, secure area. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation tastefully decorated in modern "French" style Complimentary bottle of very good home-produced red wine waiting for us on arrival (it was so good we bought a case to take away with us). Wonderful place to stay as it is quiet and peaceful, but close to town. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely try to stay at La Galiniere next time we are in Franschhoek. Has to be the best value for money in the area!

The cottage we booked on this restful little wine estate had a very comfortable double bed / good size bedroom / well-equipped kitchen / lovely lounge and outdoor patio area looking onto the swimming pool. Only complaint - very limited bouquet DSTV... but we werent there to watch tv anyway.
Wendy and Rencia made sure we were comfortable and then left us alone. Bliss.

This is a cottage attached to the owner's residence. It comprises bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The cottage is comfortable and has a great location: just past the main drag of the main road going towards Paarl. There is a good Italian restaurant next door and, a nice touch, a complimentary bottle of wine produced on the estate is offered. There is no facility for breakfast unless you make it yourself, but there are loads of cafes within walking distance.
