The hotel

Rambling flower beds. Rolling lawns. Ornate fountains. All the classic accoutrements of a manor house come together at Franschhoek Country House & Villas, creating space that’s charming, characterful, and calming. Of course, this isn’t just a country house, so among its beautiful rooms, cottages, and villas, you’ll also find traveller treats like al fresco swimming pools, spa treatments, and the acclaimed Monneaux Restaurant – considered one of Franshhoek’s finest dining venues. Just a bike ride from the village, and with stunning valley views, all the wonders of the winelands are just a drive away, including restaurants, museums, and wine tasting experiences.

What a beautiful place the gardens were amazing the rooms are so beautiful Such a fantastic place , complementary shuttle bus is a nice touch we used it quite a few times Staff were very friendly nothing too much trouble . Breakfast was in a beautiful room upstairs overlooking the gardens and a very nice breakfast Lots of fruits and cereal meats & cheese and a cooked option as-well.

We found this a very welcoming place to stay when in Franschoek - our room was big and bright, and the complimentary lift service was very useful especially for evenings out. There's also a great restaurant on site, and a nice poolside area to chill in.

We stayed in a Garden Cottage room and this room, the hotel and the whole experience was excellent. We had a private garden area which was beautiful with water features, seating and the wafting scent of jasmine ...... bliss !! The hotel is set in gorgeous gardens full of flowers and herbs. Breakfast was amazing with buffet items and a menu for hot items, made to order and these changed daily. Location is right where you want to be with easy access to the famous 'wine tram' Communication with reception was via WhatsApp which was very useful. The game changer for us was the free mini bus shuttle that the hotel provided so residents to get to and from the wine tram, vineyards and the town. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and it was an experience we very much enjoyed. Read less
