Residence Klein Oliphants Hoek

14 Akadamie Street, 7690 Franschhoek, South Africa –

The private hot tub in the room was fantastic, so was the breakfast and the friendly staff

Nick, South Africa

Convienently 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.

“Top Notch! Will be back in a heart beat!”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • Loft Standard Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Not applicable :)
눇The venue exceeded our expectations! Fresh fruit in our room, 2 glasses of sherry on arrival, pristine decor, beautiful bathrooms with the added touch of a towel rack by a built in wall heater! The staff were so friendly and helpful on arrival! We did pre arrange for a late arrival at 11pm due to flights. We arrived at 11:45pm and they were still so friendly! The breakfast was outstanding! From a beautiful cold breakfast buffet with freshly baked muffins, cold meats, yogi, cereal and fresh juices to the gorgeous hot breakfast selection of crispy bacon, mushrooms, sausages, eggs, fried tomato and toast with preserves! The dining area had a lovely mini bar and wine cellar cigar lounge! A lovely lounge with a fireplace to kick your feet up and relax. The gardens are exquisite! It is a place of tranquility, with views of the Franschhoek mountain range! The Venue is a few roads from the main Franshhoek road where there is a hustle and bustle of craft shops, restaurants and vineyards! WOW! Our team will be back next year with out a doubt!!! Thank you!!!

“The hot tub option is special, but honestly the uncomfortable bed and loud noises I wouldnt go back”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • King Room with Hot Tub
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The king bed was actually 2 mattresses pushed together which was very uncomfortable. The first night was also very cold and there was no extra blankets and the HVAC unit could not get enough warmth for us, and so we were very cold. On the second night, some of the guests invited friends over and were extremely loud. Eventually at 23:00 I went downstairs to ask them to be quiet. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that the hostess was with them making all of the noise.
눇The private hot tub in the room was fantastic, so was the breakfast and the friendly staff

“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.

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
