Ashbourne Boutique Guest House

The customer service was out of this world. Cindy was lovely and attentive. Made us feel welcome and special. Guesthouse was lovely and breakfast was all you could ask for

What a pleasurable overnight stay. The customer service by the team was fantastic!Loved the afternoon baked goods. We will be back.

If you are going to Franschhoek I would definitely recommend Ashbourne House. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is delicious and there is plenty of choice. I found all the staff very friendly and the owner was so welcoming.

We spent 2 nights in this wonderful home from home. Received a fantastic welcome from Cindy and Courtney and were made to feel immediateky at home with refreshments orovided on arrival. Our garden room lead out on to a courtyard and refreshing pool. A little oasis of greenery and peace. Room nicely decorated. The hotel is ideally situated to walk within 10 minutes to the main street with its range of lovely restaurants and shops, and the start of the wine tram route. Beautiful breakfast and afternoon cakes complete the reasons to choose to stay here.

we had a two night stay here. Cindy was fantastic and the breakfast was delicious. As we had an early flight the day we left, Cindy prepared a take-away breakfast for us. Great service in a beautiful location. Special mention, the markets there were amazing.

Once again a delightful stay at Ashbourne. Guesthouse Tim & Nadine pour their hearts into this beautifully run guesthouse in the heart of Franschhoek and it shows. Each room is cosily decorated and spotless. The bedrooms are open plan with the bathroom. The toilet is separate though and does have its own door. They provide all the necessary amenities and extra bonus: a towel warmer. We were three couples each staying in a unit with their own exit into the garden. It is private and safe. There are other rooms in the main house but I did not get to see them. South Africa experiences load shedding which means the power company cuts the power to neighbourhoods for 2+ hours a few times a day nearly every day. Ashbourne Guesthouse has, at what must have been huge expense, installed large solar panels so guests do not experience the load shedding at all! (This will only be a tip for people who like to blow dry their hair: South African bathrooms do not have plugs for hairdryers so if you want to dry your hair in front of a mirror, travel with a long extension cord which you could use in front of any other mirror in the room. Plus make sure you have the right SA plugs which are fairly unique. Their voltage is 220W. The guesthouse did have a hairdryer attached to a wall unit but I could not get it to work. Generally I find these kinds of dryers impractical for anything other than simple hairstyles) Included with your stay is a delicious full breakfast with fresh fruit, yoghourt, cold deli meats, cheese, muesli, eggs made to order with sausage and bacon. Weather permitting one can enjoy it on the lovely patio with a view of the mountains. They have a coffee station in each room and a mini bar, with some extra snacks at very reasonable prices. Every afternoon there is coffee and cake to be had for anyone feeling peckish. They have a cosy lounge with a fireplace in the main house where one could easily curl up with a book. There is a small swimming pool perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip. The guesthouse is within easy walking distance of downtown Franschhoek to browse in the quaint stores, go for lunch or join the famous WineTrams that leaves from the main road. Tim & Nadine are very helpful with bookings, recommendations and tips. They work super hard and made us feel very welcome. We'd be happy to stay with them again.

We couldn't have been more satisfied with the Asbourne, I researched it before booking and found it exceeded our expectations. From arrival to departure Cindy and the team were very welcoming and attentative, the room was spotless and very comfortable and pool was a perfect for weary travellers. The breakfast was superb with a good choice of fruit, home made breads, continental and cooked options. We also apreciated the cake, coffee etc left out for an evening treat, we would highly recommend

Elegant ambiance. Kind and very helpful,efficient staff. Excellent location...we felt safe. Beautiful views from the step. Slightly disturbed night due to stoep light but the staff could not be kinder and more helpful. Thanks so much!
