We stayed at the Akademie for 2 nights and could only wish we had more time! This hotel deserves it's ranking on Tripadvisor and we highly recommend it (and I'm a pretty demanding guest as we only stay at boutique / luxury properties and this compares favorably with the Relais & Chateaux options that we booked for the balance of... more

We spent 3 nights at Akademie Street and just LOVED it! We stayed in Twyfeling for the first night, with its shower etc in a lovely light conservatory. We then moved into Gelatenheid for the remainder of our stay. We could hardly believe that the accomodation could be even nicer, but it was. A whole two floors of space. The... more

We visited when the weather was uncharacteristically wet and rainy in November so were'nt able to use the gardens and pretty setting. Some of the rooms have a private plunge pool - bracingly cold but this seems to be the case everywhere on the Cape - and others use the main pool - although this wasnt fully operational when we... more

Akademie is a really beautiful spot in Franschoek . They offer a variety of different rooms/cottages in a stunning garden setting. We stayed in the Vreugde cottage, which had a little pool and veranda (with a brilliant heater....very practical as it rained the entire weekend). The owners Katherine & Arthur are extremly friendly; Arthur even picked us from a winefarm... more

We found this property through Tripadvisor - and we're glad we did. The McWilliam-Smiths are excellent hosts (both brimming with nervous energy and the desire to ensure you have a good time) and they have created a lovely property - which manages to be both homely (in a good way) and professionally managed. We stayed in Gelatentheid - a superb... more

After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, we booked and stayed for 4 nights in Gelatenheid whilst our friends stayed in Vreugde....and what a place! The whole experience far surpassed our expectations - the architecture was beautiful and the decor was stylish, quirky & really comfortable with an amazing attention to detail. Everything that you could want had been thought about... more

We were travelling in South Africa for our honeymoon and this was my favourite place in which we stayed. The setting is absolutely beautiful and as soon as you step through the front door at reception you know that a lot of thought and care has gone into the home design -- making the place lavish but cozy, decadent but... more

We stayed here during our recent honeymoon in Southern Africa and found Akademie Street to be everything we had hoped for. A must for a Cape Winelands visit! We stayed for 2 nights in the spectacular, vineyard-filled town of Franschhoek and Akademie Street provided us with wonderful service, a fantastic location near the Village and various vineyards, and delicious breakfasts... more
