Beautiful view, stunning location and very helpful and friendly staff.
The one room we've booked was affected by loadshedding, which wasn't very pleasant seeing we had power all the time on the side where our room was.

Plumwood Inn is a great guesthouse with a good breakfast and attentive staff. We were visiting for Bastille Day celebrations and we had a great time. We would visit again.

Delicious breakfast - Lucienne is an excellent cook.
Rooms were a little on the cold side in Winter. They have a heater/aircon, but that wouldn't work during loadshedding. I believe the Inn is putting up a solar/battery/inverter system now though, which should solve all of that.

Location is excellent near the edge of town, very close to the Huguenot Museum and good restaurants (although in Franschhoek nothing is actually far away). Property and garden well maintained forming a green oasis with beautiful views towards the mountains and a properly sized clean pool, surrounded by numerous garden loungers. Very quiet with quite a private feel to it. Rooms in the annex buildings on the first floor are the best in terms of view. Our room was in excellent condition, including nice large bathroom, proper closet with large safe, small fridge and high-quality wooden window-blinds for the wide balcony doors and all windows. Breakfast has all you would expect, nice open setting of breakfast area towards the garden. Parking is secure. Very helpful hosts with plenty of advice for spending your time in and around Franschhoek.
Overall pleasant experience and definitely recommendable!
WiFi signal was a bit weak and connection slow. However, you probably don´t spend time in Franschhoek to delve into your handheld electronic devices.
