Best Hotels in Franschhoek, South Africa

Having stayed in Franschhoek on a couple of occasions previously we eventually made our way to stay in the Protea. Great location, within walking distance of everything in Franschhoek. Very secure car park. We were delighted with our stay and will be happy to stay again. Lovely room on the ground floor near the pool with everything we needed. The food was very good. We had breakfast each morning of our four night stay and had an evening meal on two occasions. A very nice bar where we had a nightcap each evening. Two excellent bar men who were very friendly and pleasant and really knew what they were doing. All the staff were very pleasant and eager to please. Thank you for a very pleasant stay. We will be back.

We booked and paid for our unit for 10 nights. The view from the apartment has nothing to do with what you see on the website. At best, we could see a slither of lake, electric fencing and construction scars. The nice people at the reception seemed to think that this wasn’t an issue. We did. The noise of sewer pipe construction was daily, loud and invasive. An overpowering sewer smell emanating from the bathrooms encouraged our guests to leave after 24 hours. The following day we informed the reception who acknowledged the problem and fielded our repeated complaints with the provision of “smelly-sticks” in bottles to mask the stench. The sewer problem was continuous until our early departure. We coped with this with by lightning-speed toilet visits and using the kitchen sink for washing and tooth brushing. We made sure that loo stops were made in local cafes or reception before returning in the evening. We also found that airline earplugs in our noses made showering possible. The hot water worked well though. We had no power back-up for SIX days. They furnished us with two Iittle electric portable lamps and we had to make do with these and the flashlights on our iPhones. Eventually, engineers appeared on day 7, did some work in the garage and then there was light. Day 5 and 6 saw the end of water. There was just a dribble, enough to cook with, but no showers, dishwashing or toilet flushing was possible At this point we asked our second guests to abandon their trip to stay with us as the sewer smells were still unacceptable. The wifi still didn’t work well upstairs (12.6 Mbps upstairs) but the water did. By day 9 the stink was so bad we threw in the towel and left a day early. Enough was enough and we did not feel well. We shared this information and a request for a partial refund with l’Ermitage who responded by saying “sorry” and would do better when we next stayed with them. What a disgrace.

Although the main house, grounds and staff were very good our room left a lot to be desired. I did ask if the room could be changed but this could not be done. Although we were offered the chance to look at an hotel across the road instead, after a long road journey, 30c heat and cases already in our room, we were tired and decided it would just be easier to stay as only 3 nights. Unfortunately the tap in the kitchen area fell off immediately when we went to fill the kettle. It was repaired the following day. The kitchen area itself was poor with no fridge, so unless we asked constantly for ice or cold water, which is a nuisance, we couldn’t keep anything cool. The tap in the bathroom was also leaking profusely and needs repairing and the arm came off the chair. The other issue with our room was a steep outside staircase which one had to negotiate with care. It was a shame as other than our classic suite 5, Holden Manz had much to offer. All the hotels on our South Africa trip lived up to expectations with the exception of room 5.

We turned up in the morning without a booking after an overnight flight from London. We could not have been treated better. We were offered a beautiful room straight away. The view from the room was delightful. The room was perfect with every amenity anyone could ever require. Later we relaxed near the pretty pool and walked the very short distance to the main street of this charming town for dinner. After a great night's sleep we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast. We would definitely recommend and stay again when returning to Franschhoek.
