Excellent service by host. Parking available for a car or 2. Room clean and comfortable however was very cold. This ruined my stay. Needed extra heater. Used aircon to get some warmth. Shower was good. Main disappointment was not refunded for part of stay as had to leave 2 days early.

We stayed here for 3 nights 17-19 March. It was amazing. Our host kept us smiling with his great sense of humour and charm. In spite of the worrying times he always made sure we were comfortable and brought us champagne while we relaxed pool side. The accommodation itself was spacious beautifully decorated and cleaned meticulously. At breakfast we were served fruit and the option of cooked food too which was very tasty. Very friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for making it such a lovely part of our holiday. In terms of location it's walking distance to the main road with plenty art galleries and eateries to explore.

There are nicer places to stay in Franschhoek. We were given no notification of loadshedding times, we arrived home from the wine tram to complete darkness and one candle in the room. We requested more and were given ONE more candle to light the entire room and bathroom. There was no water in the fridge when we arrived. A soap dish, without soap. Handsoap and shower gels were bolted into the wall. Two ply toilet paper on the roll, but single sheet for the roll - it just felt like they were cutting corners wherever possible. Breakfast on the 2nd day was half the quantity of the first day "because of loadshedding" but that's no excuse.

We enjoyed our stay, until someone stole $200 and the rand equivalent of about $25 from our hotel safe. The safe has a key--I guess we should have known better. Our cab ride back to Cape Town told us that he knew of other visitors who had the same thing happen to them. Word to the wise--don't trust a safe in a Franschooek hotel. The property acted like they were going to do the right thing and refund us (even sending a "screenshot" of the refund) but we haven't gotten a dime back. So much for a romantic honeymoon

There didn’t seem to be any physical security apart from a single door lock and there were no staff on site all night. Most of the property looked tired and the pool wasn’t clean. There were broken tiles around the pool. Our room was next to a water pump that kept going off. Location was good.

A very friendly, welcoming establishment, within walking distance of the economic centre of the town. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. The room was very spacious and had lots of great touches like current magazines and fresh milk in the fridge. I would have liked to be able to stay longer - but there's always a next time!

Nice hotel, in good location within a short walk of the town. Public areas and pool very nice as was the breakfast and service. Guestroom was a little cramped with more furniture than it needed, the safe was in the bathroom next to the toilet and not very easily accessible. The bathroom had a certain small that permeated throughout and was a little unpleasant. The bathroom was very dated and reminded me of the showers at my school, whilst the shower was massive, the bathroom was tiny and you could really only have one person at a time. I'm sure the other rooms are okay, but avoid room no.4.

Very nice place, cosy and well equipped room, simple but excellent breakfast, well located in quiet area, i loved the place except a strange water restriction on the bath (after 4 other hotels we went to that had bath...and a booking that stated a bath...)

We were disappointed to find that the room we booked was actually in a different guesthouse to the one on the website. There should be separate listings for Residence Vive la Vie and Residence Vive La Vie - La Ferme. We were actually in the latter which is very different to the one shown in the pictures. They are part of the same group though.

The friendly welcome with glass of beautifully chilled fizzy set the tone for a lovely stay. Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with original African art work. Breakfast was exquisite with hot food cooked to order. The accommodation was a little further from the Main Street than we realised with no pavements to walk on so something to consider if you don’t want to drive to a restaurant in the evening.

Lovely stay at this gorgeous hotel -- more like a B&B. We had a private suite in the back of the house, right next to the pool. The room was extremely comfortable! The breakfast served in the morning was just lovely. The setting couldn't be more beautiful, and it was warm enough for us to take a dip in the pool! Hotel is a short and safe 10-minute walk from Franschhoek's main street with shops and restaurants. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I finished our 2 week holiday in SA at this lovely property. From the first moment on arrival Peter and the team made the two of us very welcome and ensured everything we needed was catered for. We would recommend you look no further if you are planning on staying in Franschhoek, thank you again Peter for completing our stay!
