My husband and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at La Cabriere Country House. We stayed in one of the three rooms at the pool house, which was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The weather was too cold to make use of the patio but the cosy fireplace made up for that. Bernd and Monika(as well as... More

My cousin and I stayed at La Cabriere for a few nights when doing the wine region. We thought the view was incredible and the rooms were lovely, but I would echo previous guests statements on the slightly tense attitude of the hosts. We made the mistake of trying to set our alarm on leaving and returning to our rooms... More

We stayed here for two nights at the end of a wonderful holiday, all accommodation prior to this had been self catering so was very welcome. Before we had arrived I was already impressed by the service provided by Bernard and Monica. Restaurants and wine tours were booked on our behalf and the recommendations were fantastic. We stayed in The... More

I had the benefit of staying at La Cabriere for two nights earlier this month with friends. I had a poolside room which had wonderful views that was well appointed. We were treated very well by good staff and the cooked breakfast is well recommended.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at La Cabriere Country House in Franschoek during our holiday to South Africa in February 2012. We were greeted by our lovely host who showed us to our room and informed us, to our delight, that we have been upgraded and we received an even nicer room than we hoped for. The... More

Our family has visited Franschhoek many times now, when going to Southern Africa, but we never grow tired of its charm and great attractions. Having stayed in many accommodations in the region over the past 10 years or so, I must admit that none can match the beautiful setting, great service and comfort of La Cabriere Country house. Bernard and... More

No turn-down service. Rooms too small and tiny tv. Nice pool. Franschoek filled with many hidden gems, this is not one of them. Service needs to impeccable to compete but clearly inexperienced and lack finer touches. Pity.

The property itself is lovely but there were a few things in the room that obviously needed some maintenance, e.g loose taps, loose toilet holder, kettle with a broken lid. Although it may seem unimportant these small details all add up. We were woken in the morning by extremely loud knocking on our door by Monica informing us that breakfast... More

A big thank you Monika and Bernd for our wonderful 5 night stay over the Christmas period (and for all your help after we left our passports behind!). First impressions were that the property and rooms are actually nicer than the website would imply. We expecially loved the fire in our room for those chillier franschheok evenings (poolside option). We... More
