Highly recommended, Paul & Rosemary along with all the staff make sure you feel at home, while this is a business, they make it look like it is a labour of love, we intended staying for one or two nights but extended our stay. Rooms were great and their local knowledge invaluable and extensive. Breakfast: perfect. Location: brilliant.

We stayed at Erica for 2 nights recently and had a wonderful time. The warm welcome starts with A greeting from the lovely owners, Rosemary and Paul, and a glass of local wine. Paul kindly recommended a restaurant for dinner and made the necessary reservation on our behalf. The rooms were spotless, large and modern. Our room had a patio... More

This is a nice little guest house, the room was comfortable, the sheets lovely, the garden and pool are a lovely spot to while away a few hours - we had the place to ourselves, but imagine in season it would feel a little different. The staff are great, I liked a guest fridge being available and the breakfast was... More

After the third time staying at this perfect guesthouse we finally found the time to write some notes here. The location is very good because all most important restaurants and other attractions in Franschhoek are only a short walk away. The house itself is really clean and has a very nice interior. Each room is individually decorated. We stayed each... More

The Erica Guesthouse is a very cute spot a few blocks from the main street in Franschoek. The cost per night is about $115 USD which seemed like a deal to us in that area. Most of the other places we looked at were above $200. The room was really comfortable with a big bathroom and separate bath and shower.... More

After a long trip from the UK via Dubai all we wanted was a warm welcome and comfortable room. We got so much more. Rosemary, Paul and all their staff are super, friendly, helpful people. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean with a full bathroom, large separate shower, fluffy towels and ample toiletries. A king size bed with snow... More
