Very centrally situated in Franschhoek, the hotel is clean and very comfortable. The staff were all so helpful and welcomed me and my family. The rooms were spacious and very well stocked. The turn down service was amazing, as we arrived back to a warmed room as the heating was put on at night. Breakfast was very basic but more... More

I loved the hotel, it is in a beautiful setting. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are great but the beds need new mattresses! What we really appreciated was that the air conditioner in the room was on and the room warm, as it was cold and raining on our arrival. Thanks for going the extra mile. Sadly... More

We came through the Franschoek pass on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with no reservations. Our bad. Luckily the Protea staff was wonderful and we secured their last two rooms. The staff then helped direct us to get the most out of this wonderful village. Also, this hotel was a very good value.

This hotel was at one end of the main street in this very beautiful town. The rooms faced an inner courtyard, so were very quiet. Our room was upstairs, but this meant only one flight of stairs. In the evening we sat around the pool, surrounded by a very green lawn, and had nibblies and drinks. Very nice. The rooms... More
