This was our second visit to The Coach House and it was as wonderful as ever. After travelling around South Africa for 5 weeks we wanted to stay somewhere where we could relax, enjoy the garden and pool and walk to restaurants and stay for 6 nights. The Coach house has all this and more - lovely rooms, large comfortable... More

We stayed in one of the rooms in the main house, and it was just like being at home! Everything was remarkably clean and cozy, the bathroom was huge, and there were nice little snacks, too. It really felt like being a guest at a friend's house, without the feeling of a zillion people having stayed in the bed. The... More

Franschhoek is a beautiful village in wine county and the Coach House is a charming place to stay. Although the property is a 4 overall, it is a 5 for the price range. Our garden room was very nice with a small patio and modern tiled bathroom. Sharon and Charlie were extremely helpful with suggestions for eating, wineries and hiking.... More

The Coach House is a fantastic place to stay. Lovely rooms, great breakfast and fantastic hosts, especially Sharon. I couldn't fault our stay and with Franschhoek a short stroll away with lovely boutique shops and really good restaurants what more do you want. Would definitely stay here again.

Made to feel very welcome by Sharon. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and ideally situated for a short walk into the centre of Franschhoek. We loved Franschhoek and staying at the Coach House was one of our best overnight stays in South Africa. Sharon even arranged a surprise picnic at Solms Delta Vineyard which was perfect to celebrate Richard's 65th... More

Don't go here if you want superb good value accomodation in a lovely setting, easy walking distance to some great restaurants, interesting places to visit every day and last but not least being looked after by Sharon and Charlie-two of the greatest characters you will ever meet.

Sharon and Charles have made this into a charming and stylish accommodation. They are so welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We arrived early Sunday evening and Sharon offered immediately to telephone various restaurants to enable us to get a table.(Sundays very busy night). The rooms are lovely and the breakfast excellent. Situated withing walking distance of... More

Top class welcome by the ever-so-elegant Sharron from her beautiful guest house, in the heart of Franschhoek Village. Unbelievably homely, clean, tidy and fantastic cooked breakfasts, the best ones of the whole holiday! Can highly recommend room number 7; idyllic view from a large private balcony overlooking the garden (with pool) and mountains. We researched The Coach House via Trip... More

A lovely room and literally on the doorstep of the monument and the main road. We walked everywhere! The bed was very comfortable and the shower gel available in the bathroom smelt devine. A lovely bathroom amd the air condtioining provided welcome respite from the warm afternoon. Whilst we didn't meet Sharon the afternoon we arrived but she was wonderfully... More
