We have stayed for 2 nights at Franskraal b&b in january this year. Experienced a very warm welcome from Helmie and Amanda. Our comfortable room was located right in front of the sea with a gorgeous view. The really excellent and extensive breakfast is served on the first floor with an even more beautiful view. Franskraal b&b is a nice... More

After arriving at the most awful place we had ever seen, and paid for, my husband and I frantically called around for a new place to stay. Amanda and Helmie welcomed us with open arms. Their B&B definitely lives up to their website! It was our 1st Wedding Anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a better place. Helmie and... More

We had a wonderful stay at Franskraal B&B. Helmie and Amanda gave us a very warm welcome, we were made to feel right at home straight away. The room was luxuriously comfortable and the breakfasts wonderful. When my husband stated he was homesick for a snoek braai, Helmie and Amanda even invited us to one as their guests! A very... More

Arguably the best b&b in this side of the world. our hosts, Amanda and Helmie, are perhaps the nicest couple ever - just like your favorite aunt and uncle. The rooms are immaculately clean, towels frsh, linens crisp, and the  little chocolates under the pillow prompted an "Ahhh..." from me and my husband. The breakfast, which varies day to day,... More

This was without a doubt one of, if not the, best place we stayed on our travels of SA. It was not just the fantastic rooms which were decorated so wonderfully, or the breathtaking views of the ocean watching the whales that made this place so fantastic but the people. Amanda and Helmin were two of the most genuinely lovely... More

It was a wonderful stay in Franskraal B&B. There isn't anything to claim. Everything we expected to get and see was fulfilled more than 100%.

For me, an overnight stay which will call me back has 60% to do with the hosts, 20% the size of the shower and 20% the bedding. The view - in this case the pond for the whales on your doorstep, was an extra. I really enjoyed the warmness and friendlyness of the hosts - the koeksisters as a greeting... More

The best stay during our 2 weeks in South africa was at Amanda and Heimi's place in Franskraal. Everything from the warm welcome, the breakfast and the bar was top class. On top of that you have the fantastic view from your lovely room and the beach just around the corner.

We spent a month in SA and stayed at a few places and this was by far the best place we stayed at. The location is directly on the coast with a great view; within walking distance to a beach and only a few minute drive to restaurants in Gansbaai. The room was spacious and comfortable and there is a... More
