This was our second visit to Chanteclair, having first visited in February 2011. We had no hesitation in re-booking for this year as it is such a warm friendly place to be. The rooms vary and in some instances a bit of up-grading is needed as competiton in the area is stiff, but the warmth, friendliness and unceasing helpfulness of... More

Stayed there just before the festive season for a few nights. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The room was very spacious and well appointed, it made you feel right at home. Despite it being the middle of December we had some chilly evenings and the heated blankett was welcome. Safe and tea making facility in the room,... More

Spent 2 nights in Chanteclair and it was perfect. Bob and Leslie are excellent hosts and the rooms are large, clean and peaceful. The gardens are stunning and breakfast excellent. The perfect place to stay while exploring the vineyards in the locality

We absolutely loved Chanteclair. The warm welcome from Jack (the soppy labrador) and Leslie (who was extremely helpful but completely unobtrusive) set the tone for our stay. Our room was stunning and had a private terrace looking over the swimming pool, lake, vineyard and mountains. Breakfasts were perfect. We are already planning our next trip to Chanteclair so that we... More

Franschhoek is the best base for exploring the West Cape's dramatic countryside sun-trapped at the head of the Berg River valley and L'Auberge Chanteclair is a wonderful place set at the base of the hills and mountains that are Franschhoekberge.

We stayed in l'Auberge Chanteclair for 2 nights in october in The Studio. The room is huge, with a good bed and a separate sitting area with fireplace and a small terrace. The breakfast terrace is very cozy and the gardens are beautiful. For me the view of the mountains is the most fantastic feature of this guesthouse. The guesthouse... More

Having visited Franschhoek many times before for weekends (we live in Cape Town), we came across Chanteclair by chance, as we couldn't get into the guesthouse we normally stay in as there was a Festival on. As we were taking friends who were visiting SA, I was a little worried about how it would turn out, and hoped that it... More

L'Auberge Chanteclair provides the ideal combination of peace and quiet, beautiful rooms, terraces, gardens and views with a nice pool only ten minutes walk from the top end of the village with its superb restaurants and shops. Bob and Leslie provide fantastic breakfasts and are the perfect hosts. I would highly recommend this as a place to relax while exploring... More

Revisiting the Chanteclair for a second timewith our our grownup children and our two teenage grandchildren we were welcomed into this beautiful guest house and nothing was too much trouble. Bob and Leslie's help and advise were invaluable and our every need catered for. If we are ever fortunate to visit beautiful Franschoek again we will return to the Chanteclair

You will never bore of the Mountains views as you drink the Chanteclair wine while sitting on the porch outside. The breakfasts served here far exceed any 4 star hotel, homemade Jams and strewed fruits and a full breakfast cooked to perfection.We hope to return again one day!
