Like the other Last Word properties, the Franschoek is stylish, beautifully furnished and offers a country house party ambience. We had one of the pool suites which - in addition to a large bedroom and bathroom - had its own private sun room/conservatory plus a small private plunge pool (about 12` x 8` x 5`deep) with comfortable sun loungers and... more

Franschoek is famous for its beauty but I have to say when we stayed at The Franschoek, we were tempted never to leave our room to discover it! The Franschoek is situated in the heart of the town, a few minutes from all the gorgeous wine farms which we only managed to discover on our second day after dragging ourselves... more

This is a guest-house, not a hotel. Having just departed a 5-star hotel, we realised too late that guest-houses must be rated differently. This is a compact guest house, situated behind main street shops. Parking is just off the main street. We had a pool room - the pool wasn't heated and was full of leaves, dead flowers, etc and... more

Lovely hotel, quiet and friendly. Everything you could possibly want in your room and great location. Decided to stay in for dinner as it was very wet and we were tired after a long drive. Offered a rather restricted choice menu and both opted for fillet steak. We were served very tough rump steak. It was disappointing but we were... more

There is no secure carpark despite what their website says, we arrived on Sunday wanting food but none was available despite what their website implies, the tiny windowless room we... more

We spent 2 nights here on our honeymoon and Conrad, Franklin and Team did the best job of making us feel special. The location is perfect as you are in town and can walk to dinner, breakfast is great and the personal attention is impeccable. Can't imagine a better way to spend time in Franschoek. The only thing to note... more

We spent 3 nights at The franschhoek hotel and enjoyed every moment of it. Our room was excellent and came with a free mini bar which had an excellent selection of wine and spirits, and in the morning a huge selection of breakfast hot and cold, every evening if you want you are welcome to have wine and nibbles with... more

Fantastic room , great breakfast , great loacation, free bar ! We sayed two nights and as per a previous review, got the "candles treatment" with a... more

Great accomodation, exceptional service, great breakfast, lovely room. I would surely come back in my next visit in South Africa. The two... more
