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.

My husband and I spent a few days here for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! The staff members provided the best service I’ve ever received at a hotel. Always eager to help and drive us to our destinations. Extremely friendly and helpful and I would leave them 6 stars if I could! They are the definition of above and beyond customer service. They arranged so much for us and always made sure we were having a great experience. They make every person here feel special and welcomed. The entire resort’s curb appeal was gorgeous and always clean. We stayed in their Villa and it was exceptional. The location is also great! Just a short couple minutes drive to the Franschhoek Wine Trams and downtown Franschhoek. The food was amazing (some of the best food we’ve had) we rarely wanted to eat outside of the resort! person here feel special and welcomed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in Franschhoek! Thank you for making our honeymoon so special! Read less

What a beautiful place to stay. We had a gorgeous room overlooking the stunning gardens. The staff were so lovely and friendly. It was a distance from the Town but there was a complimentary shuttle that took you to and from anywhere you chose to go. Breakfast was plentiful and very nice. The coffee was delish. One evening we chose to eat in the hotel’s restaurant- the food was amazing ( although there only seemed to be one tune playing over and over again all night!) Great area to sunbathe and two pools , unfortunately the smaller of the two was the only one that was heated. Overall though we would recommend this hotel to everyone - it was a wonderful stay!

The hotel is a quaint county Inn. It is located about 2 minutes from town, but nestled at the base of the mountains, giving you a sense of French Countryside. The pool area is lovely and clean. We ordered drinks and snacks at the pool and the cheese board was delicious, and portions plentiful.
