    Nothing was wrong, I wouldn't say anything negative and I would definitely stay here again. At a push, you wouldn't really walk to the town in the evening time but it's so easy to get Ubers or the local taxi which the managers can help you with.

    We had such a beautiful stay here. It felt genuinely like a home rather than a hotel or guest house. Considering it is not a very big property, it felt very private and personal and had super facilities. The standout was the breakfast and the two lovely ladies who cooked and served breakfast. The staff made it more personal and enjoyable.

    The property is stunning to look at and in the most beautiful setting with the best views in Franschhoek but it’s Alan, Yvonne and their team that complete the perfection. The little touches in the rooms, complimentary sundowner wine with the other guests and the fabulous breakfasts just make L’Auberge Chanteclair a must to visit and return to.

    This is a gem of a small, individual hotel, situated on a spectacular estate with its own vineyard, large swimming pool and pond. You feel immediately welcome if you meet Yvonne and Allan. They and their great staff run the hotel so that you feel like visiting your best friends. Breakfast is nothing short of spectacular on every detail. And sitting on the porch in the afternoon, looking into the vineyard and mountain scenery is an amazing experience. Allan is most helpful if you need advice what to visit and to do.

    Incredibly welcoming and we genuinely felt like we were staying with friends! Allan and Yvonne really looked after us and the 6.00pm complimentary wine on the verandah was a lovely way to get all guests together - we even met a couple who lived 1 mile from us in the UK! It’s such a sociable and special place and the perfect spot for a few days relaxation with the most wonderful breakfast!

    Absolutely stunning property in an extremely picturesque location. The wine on the veranda in the evening watching the sunset was a very nice touch and a good way to meet other guests. Yvonne and Alan were both fantastic - and even made us a small packed breakfast to take away as we were leaving early for a flight from Cape Town.

    Everything has been SO perfect and amazing! First, the facilities are so beautiful. Feels like a dream in the middle of the wine lands. The place is so big with stunning views on garden & mountains. The staff is beyond nice and pleasant. On the check out day, had the leave the hotel quite early and they cooked an early warm breakfast to go. Really appreciate. And the breakfast the other days is very good with lots of options. Staff also really helped to get taxi / tuk tuk service. Location is perfect, close to the city center of Franschoek and to many wine tasting areas. Honestly I hope to come back here one day ☀️☀️

    Ideally located for Franschhoek center and surrounding vineyards and tram for daily activities, set within tranquil beautiful settings with fabulous views of the nearby mountains, a wonderful swimming pool, and well-kept gardens made relaxing super easy and a very inviting option too. Our attentive hosts Allan and Yvonne and the team provided exceptional service, gorgeous little touches of detail, informed local information, and the best breakfast to kick-start our day. We will be back.

    Everything was fine!

    L‘Auberge Chanteclair has a calm, but still central location to the Centre of Franschhoek. Nothing disturbs a peaceful time with a glass of wine or at the pool. On top it has the best hosts one can imagine. Their friendliness and helpfulness combined with an unbeatable knowledge of local (and more) information and tips, is the best we have experienced in many travels throughout the world. The breakfast is made with love every single morning!

    Luxurious guesthouse situated in a beautiful location in Franschhoek with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Located in a quiet area but within easy reach of the town centre. The hosts were very friendly and helpful in advising on things to do and see. Breakfast was excellent. We‘d certainly go back there if we were starting in the area again.

    My whole experience at L'Auberge Chanteclair was exceptional. From the welcome and warmth of Allan, Yvonne and staff, through to the coziness of the living areas, the wonderful setting, cool, clear swimming pool, most amazing Breakfasts and just general homeliness and stunning location, it definitely over-exceeded my expectations. As a tour guide, I was there for work, but I will definitely return with my wife for a couple of nights just to relax. I highly recommend it and will surely be back. Kass was a wonderful wonderer who also made it feel like home.

    Everything!!! We were amazed by the place when we arrived. It has a vineyard, and the garden is so beautiful and big. The hosts Yvonne and Allen are super nice and helpful. We didn't book any restaurants and didn't have a car during our visit during Christmas but Yvonne and Allen helped us sort everything out. We ended up having the best winery tour with Daniel ( he is recommended by the hosts and a very nice guy) and tried a few good restaurants. The room is very clean, comfortable and homy. Last but not least, the breakfast is amazing!!! Everything is fresh and delicious!!! I think they probably get most of it's produce from it's garden. I would definitely go back if I visit Franschhoek.
