Reviews of Jonquil Guest Cottage

We stayed at the lovely Jonquil Guesthouse three nights and enjoyed it very much! Jo and Gary were very welcoming and provided us with lots of chopped wood for our stove (much needed as we were staying there in August!). The house is very cosy, charming, well-equipped, and situated in a magical and very well cared for garden. Franschhoek main street with lots of restaurants, shops, and - importantly! - the Wine Tram is within walking distance. We loved staying there and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who plans to stay in Franschhoek!

Very central location House was lovely and well furnished and stocked

Very nice and cozy house. Jo was very kind with us. I highly recommend this place!

The cottage is lovely. Spacious and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked for home cooking and the shops are very close by. It was winter and the cottage was cool, but there are very welcome electric blankets on the bed and lots of duvets and blankets. Hosts are lovely and stay on the property so nothing was difficult to arrange. They brought wood for the fireplace, a fruit basket and even some welcome chocolates. Lovely stay.

This is an incredibly special place to stay in one of the most perfect places in the world. The cottage was exactly as described - luxurious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities (perfect for a long stay like ours). The cottage was huge! We had so much space inside so everyone could spread out and have quiet down time. The outdoor sitting space and braai/bbq was a lovely feature. The location is so central that we walked everywhere in town. Safe and secure off-street parking was a very nice feature. Jo is one of the best hosts I have ever met. I highly recommend staying here and plan on doing the same on all of my future visits.

Nothing. Everything was excellent - a real 10/10 stay. The cottage, the location, the hosts - all just perfect!

Location and privacy

No door on the upstairs bedroom

This is just a wonderful place to stay right in the heart of the town. Lovely comfortable beds and bedding and a fully equipped kitchen. Jo, the owner was really helpful and gave us dining tips which were excellent ! We are hoping to visit again next year for longer!

There is nothing to dislike here!

Secluded, quiet, homely and very comfortable and very well equipped. Great position for the tram, restaurants and shops. Owner very helpful.

Nothing

Absolutely everything

We loved everything

Nearly perfect ,good host everything top draw 👌.

The only thing missing was the paddling pool.

The location is excellent being close to the centre and a short walk from numerous restaurants, bars and shops. The cottage is tucked away in a lovely garden and is very well equipped for a self catering holiday. Jo and Gary are excellent hosts and my wife and I will be returning in the future.

Nothing

A hidden gem in Franschhoek. Peaceful and relaxing gardens and verandah, excellent lounge and facilities, the beds were very comfortable, close to all the art galleries, incredible restaurants and superb wine farms.

The location and privacy

A beautiful place with gorgeous garden around the corner from the main road and all its charm. Lovely hosts and a warm welcome with much attention to small details.

Interior provides for all comforts though the furniture is a little outdated.

We were able to get into the property early. Communication with host was excellent

Lovely cottage fitted with every convenience needed for a self-catering stay. There is a beautiful garden and outdoor seating area, comfortable lounge and kitchen, 2x ensuite bedrooms (1x double, 1x twin upstairs), fast internet and off street parking. In a great location only a few minutes walk from the high street with its many restaurants and shops. Jo and Gary were friendly hosts and thoughtfully left fruit, chocolates, tea, coffee, water and firewood out for us.

Light switches were confusing despite the labels. Lengthy explanation of do's and don'ts at check in a little unnecessary given they were all printed on a laminated piece of paper.

The house is a 3 minute walk from town.We had a lovely time exploring and just relaxing. Jo and Gary are both wonderful and very helpful.We will definitely be back soon.The place was exceptionally clean and well equipped .The hosts really thought of everything

Kind guests, went out their way to bring wood for us everyday for the fire during the cold front. Very clean and comfy home. The beds are warm and snug. Beautiful little garden. Just off the Franschhoek main road so shops and restaurants are walkable. The little extras like the chocolates and fruit provided were appreciated.

The only things missing were body wash in the bathrooms, and Netflix

Nice and quiet cottage. Hosts were very friendly and ensured we were comfortable during our stay

The facility was very comfortably furnished, and the kitchen had everything one could need (though we mostly dined out, it would be very comfortable for self-catering. The property is within walking distance of excellent restaurants and shops in Franschhoek and is safe and quiet.

Parking is safe and secure, but it can be a bit difficult to manoeuvre if you do not like reversing (especially a rental vehicle).
