Having just stayed at Franschhoek Country House & Villas the look and feel of this place was vastly better. Our guest manager who checked us in was fantastic and went out of his way to make us feel at home. For a 4* star venue this place was exceptionally good. The rooms were spacious and clean with superb views. The... More

Le Franschhoek exceeeded all of my expectations beginning with the efficient check-in, and the beautiful villa with Christmas cookies and gifts, sweets, and DVD's for our children. Our villa was immaculate and came with a kitchen and two bedrooms and two balconies. The best part was waking up in the morning to the most magnificent view of the wine country... More

Spent 2 nights at Le Franschhoek Hotel, and the moment we left, we wanted to go back. It has everything. Being close to Franschhoek for it's restaurants, shopping and vineyards, to a swimming pool, sunning deck and private eating in the orchard. The place really leaves you with a "Wow!". Not often is a place as good as the pictures... More

Dear UlliDurbs We are so glad that you liked the hotel. I must say that this is the first time that a friend of Le Franschhoek posted a photo of our cloakrooms :) You should have turned around I am sure we could have given you a nice extension rate :) Happy travels and hurry back! Eben Lassen More

There were some problems with dirty room service trays being left in public areas. The general manager received my complaint and tried to deal with the issue. I hope that this problem doesn't continue as it creates a bad impression of the hotel. The service in the breakfast room was poor. There is a menu of à-la-carte options but this... More

Dear mcg1001, Thank you for your feedback. You will be happy to know that the tray issue has now been resolved. I removed that particular table as discussed. We are also doing a soft refurbishment in the rooms this year to ensure that we maintain a fresh look and feel. Thank you for your advice on the breakfast service. We... More

We stayed elsewhere in town but decided on dinner at the hotel restaurant called Dish. The setting is lovely nestled at the foot of the Franschhoek Mountains. The hotel itself is stunningly beautiful, understated glamour would be the best description in tones of white and cream. The food was truly extraordinary. The chocolate fig brownie with pepper sorbet was the... More

Arrived at the hotel after dark - pleasant and clean room with very comfortable bed. Couldn't see anything out the windows that night. The next morning we opened the curtains to the balcony and were awestruck. It was like unwrapping the best Christmas present ever. The views of the vineyards and the mountains was breathtaking. The grounds were gorgeous. The... More

My husband and I did not stay in the hotel, but we have gone to the Camelot Spa at the hotel twice now. The staff are some of the most skilled therapists that I have experienced in South Africa. Although a little pricier from other spa's, they often have great specials. The only problem is that they always try ot... More

I booked to stay here on Feb 2009 as a surprise for when I proposed to my now wife. I could not have been more impressed with the service - don't be deterred by the fact that there are so many rooms (63) this does not impact the attention you get whatsoever. A service story: After we got engaged we... More
