Excellent hotel - great, unique rooms, in town location. We were able to be there in late fall, and made full use of the in-room and great room fireplaces. Great dining recommendations from the staff. We'd stay there again without question.

Absolutely magnificent place, in a very calm area in Franschhoek. Cosy, comfortable, very nicely decorated, definitely the best way to close a wonderful trip to South Africa.

This is a lovely cosy pretty b&b in the centre of Franschoek. It is very well situated to allow you to stroll around the town. Great recommendations from the manager for wine tours, restaurants etc. Pool is lovely to relax after a busy day wine tasting. I highly recommend this place.

We spent a wonderful few days here. It is beautifully run. Linda was extremely helpful in recommending places to eat and she made us feel very much at home.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Franschoek. The bedroom and bathroom were both very spacious and the shower was excellent. It is one block off the main street so it is very easy to walk downtown for shopping and restaurants. Linda was especially hospitable and helpful. She made sandwiches and provided muffins for us since we could not... More

This was the perfect place to stay in Franschoek. We had a very warm welcome from Linda, making us feel at home. The house is very comfortable and relaxing and having breakfast on the terrace in the morning, overlooking the beautiful gardens with the mountains in the background, was a real treat. I would highly recommend staying here!

This was our first time in SA, we did not know what to expect. Arriving at CPT on Jan 3, the Klein Olifants Hoek was our first accommodation. In short - we were blown away. The setting, the interior decoration done with so much love for detail, our jacuzzi suite, breakfast and last not least the host Linda, all exceeded... More

We stayed here in December for 2 nights and genuinely didn't want to leave! The staff were so helpful, informative, friendly and lovely people. They recommended restaurants, wineries plus other attractions which was so helpful to us as it was our first time in South Africa and there is only so much you can glean from a guidebook. Franschhoek is... More
