My brother booked several of the cottages at Bo La Motte for our first two nights in Franschhoek. We were mesmerized by the perfect views of the mountains and vines. We had a lovely cookout the night of our arrival, enjoying the patio area of one of the cottages and the nicely appointed kitchen. Our room in one of the... More

We booked at short notice and Lindi squeezed us into their annex for the night. Although she noted it was not quite up to their four star rating, it was still a very attractive, large, comfortable and well furnished unit - we would have loved to stay longer. Lindi was very helpful about things to see/vineyards to visit in our... More

We stayed at the Milkwood Cottage which is located in the middle of vineyards, surrounded by a nice garden with lots of flowers, a very private feel to it and a great view towards the mountains. It is very quiet, no street noise at all. However, you are on a working farm where work starts at 7 am and where... More

Dear Guests Thanks for your comments on Trip Advisor - it's always good to have feedback; without it we wouldn't know what to change/add/stop. I would like to apologise for the spraying outside the cottage when the men started work for the day. Our normal tractor driver was unfortunately in hospital at the time and the new driver misunderstood the... More

A great stopover in Franschhoek. Idyllic setting, lovely house with great services. The garden was amazing, you can walk to the village and the management was extremely helpful. Would love to go back!

We stayed at Oak Cottage for 5 nights at the end of October 2012 - we had a wonderful stay! The cottage is actually quite large with a lounge, kitchen and dining area, a lovely bedroom (with a huge bed!) and a big bathroom. There is a small patio at the back with convenient braai facilities. Oak Cottage is located... More

Bo La Motte This accommodation offers better value than anything else I could find in guidebooks or online and we were delighted to find that our expectations were exceeded once we actually got there. There are more luxurious places around sure, but Bo La Motte does offer you very comfortable lodgings in peaceful, beautiful surroundings at bargain prices. My recommendation... More

We (couple and 15 month old) stayed in the Pear Tree cottage for 5 nights in December 2012. Had great service from Lindi and Anneke when I made the booking and they made a recommendation on a suitable cottage that was child friendly. The setting of the farm and cottage in particular was so beautiful surrounded by vineyards, mountains and... More

Orchard cottage is a sanctuary with an idyllic mountain backdrop surrounded by vineyards. The cottage itself is modern and spacious and the bedrooms comfortable and well appointed. There is an outside dining area with a brai (barbeque) and a lovely rose edged garden, perfect for sun downers or chilling after a hard days wine tasting. There were six of us... More
