We stayed a night here while on the Garden Route. La Fontaine is thoughtfully decorated, run by friendly staff and serves an excellent breakfast. The Guest House used to be an old school boarding hostel and has a traditional feel to it, in keeping with much of Franschoek. its a block behind the main strip where the restaurants like Reubens... more

We stumbled upon La Fontaine late on a rainy night and were very thankful that they had a room available for us. What we didn't realize was how gorgeous the room would be. It was very large with a fireplace, kitchen, sitting room, and enormous bathroom. Unlike many other hotels in South Africa, it's actually warm in the winter! The... more

We had a lovely couple of nights here. The room was large and decorated to a high standard with beautiful views from the window. There was also a separate sharing living room with a balcony and fridge full of drinks. The guest house owners were very helpful, booking our restaurant on our first night and also dropping us off at... more

Travelling on my own can be difficult but staying at La Fontaine was a lovely experience and I can't wait to go back. I was welcomed warmly and made to feel at home right away. My room was upstairs in this beautiful house. It was a large, comfortable room, spotlessly clean and contained everything needed for my stay. Although it... more

Lovely guesthouse in Franschhoek. Very good value for money. In walking distance from all the South African Top restaurants. An absolute delight to stay here. All my clients always have a good time here. more

We had high hopes for La Fontaine after reading all the reviews on this site, but overall we were disappointed with what we got. Location-wise the house is perfect - it's an easy walk to lots of local restaurants and right in the centre of Franschhoek. The room was a fairly decent size, but there was too much large furniture... more

We loved this place. Wonderful room, quality fittings, bathroom enormous and this was the standard room. Owner was very helpful arranging restaurants, trips to wine estate and advising on route to next location. Can't wait to go back. more
