We loved the unique and elegant rooms with the character of the old mission house, a magical place to stay. The pool and lavender gardens are a haven 5 minutes from the beautiful centre of Franschoek.

“A wonderful venue but a rude manager.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
눉We have delicious seasonal fresh fruit in Cape Town but tinned fruit was served at breakfast. Being in Franschoek I was expecting some great cured meats and delectable local cheeses but alas, it was below average quality ham and a cheddar cheese. The sausage was also not a great quality. Our peaceful breakfast was disrupted by the Manager shouting at guests about wrong seating arrangements and then she proceeded to raise her voice at the other staff. We found this rather rude of her as it was such a minor issue which could have been resolved gently. The guests that she shouted at did not even have their breakfast, they promptely left the table. The manager also did not make an effort to say goodbye to us when we checked out. BTW - I have also read a number of reviews where guests have complained about the rude and dismissive manager.
눇Convienently located in town yet very quiet and peaceful. Lovely big open fireplace in the lounge and we also had one in our bedoom (room 6). Lovely garden area and back patio has stunning views. Well stocked library. Very quaint. Comfortable bed and good bedding. Loved the variety of teas that were made available.

눉The air conditioner could have been better and a fridge in the room would have been useful . It was a little pricey for one person , but that's the only downside .
눇Room was spacious and bed comfy . Breakfast was amazing and very fresh . Staff were so attentive . Communal rooms were the best part of the accomodation and the garden and outside spaces . The pool was excellent .

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Suite with Private Pool
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Room was not even ready at 2:26pm in the afternoon? Noise level in and around room and the guest house Noted as a 4 star, but def not 4 star - with the turn down not even a chocolate on the bed? Nor fluffy towels, more like a giant dishcloth! No soap - only liquid soap. No bedside tables. Patio area outside by pool not very clean and now pool towels. Continental Breakfast very, very limited - not really fresh fruit present, limited pastries Left without anyone around to send us off or say goodbye
