Comfortable, traditional accomodation in a nicely restored Cape Dutch building with stunning views of the mountains and vinyards. Good breakfasts and other meals more than catered for in local area. Franschhoek has many excellent resturants which cater for every taste and there are numerous local vinyards (some world-renowned) which provide great lunches and wine tasting. Staff extremely helpful and an... More

My family and I stayed here just recently, and really enjoyed this lovely B&B. We have been traveling though different parts of Capetown and staying at different B&Bs every night. I must say that Klein Waterval was the best accommodation we stayed at. Location wise, it's convenient to the wineyards, the Franschhoek Motor Museum, and the Franschhoek town, less than... More

Lovely laid back atmosphere. Lovely people, very traditional accom with balconies with fab views over vineyards towards the mountains and a lovely pool. Just a short drive from Franschhoek and opposite Graham Beck Wines which is well worth a visit. No complains, very good value for money. Highly recommended for the price and category.

I stayed here in Dec with my partner and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff are warm and friendly, breakfast is very good and very relaxed. The view from our room was quite simply spectacular and we were lucky enough to enjoy the pool all to ourselves one afternoon. The location is a wee bit out of town... More

A beautiful setting overlooking a secluded vineyard with the mountain in the back. We stayed there with another couple during a weekend getaway with friends. The main dutch-farmhouse type building has three rooms and two other rooms attached like an annex, which is where we stayed. Those rooms were cosy but quite simple; probably the rooms in the main building... More

Although we were the only guests at the hotel because it was winter we were treated very well. We arrived late and were shown to our bungalow room overlooking the beautiful Franschoek mountains. We drove into the town which was quite dead at 8pm but had a sumptious meal at Reubens in the town which was excellent and original. Enza... More

Our room (#8) was spacious and lovely. It had its own little terrace overlooking the vineyards. Trevor the owner greeted us warmly and gave us plenty of recommendations on restaurants and wineries to visit. The small hotel has a small bar for the evenings which works on the honor system, which worked perfectly for us. Met the other guests there... More
