Arguably the best b&b in this side of the world. our hosts, Amanda and Helmie, are perhaps the nicest couple ever - just like your favorite aunt and uncle. The rooms are immaculately clean, towels frsh, linens crisp, and the  little chocolates under the pillow prompted an "Ahhh..." from me and my husband. The breakfast, which varies day to day,... More

This was without a doubt one of, if not the, best place we stayed on our travels of SA. It was not just the fantastic rooms which were decorated so wonderfully, or the breathtaking views of the ocean watching the whales that made this place so fantastic but the people. Amanda and Helmin were two of the most genuinely lovely... More

It was a wonderful stay in Franskraal B&B. There isn't anything to claim. Everything we expected to get and see was fulfilled more than 100%.

For me, an overnight stay which will call me back has 60% to do with the hosts, 20% the size of the shower and 20% the bedding. The view - in this case the pond for the whales on your doorstep, was an extra. I really enjoyed the warmness and friendlyness of the hosts - the koeksisters as a greeting... More

The best stay during our 2 weeks in South africa was at Amanda and Heimi's place in Franskraal. Everything from the warm welcome, the breakfast and the bar was top class. On top of that you have the fantastic view from your lovely room and the beach just around the corner.

We spent a month in SA and stayed at a few places and this was by far the best place we stayed at. The location is directly on the coast with a great view; within walking distance to a beach and only a few minute drive to restaurants in Gansbaai. The room was spacious and comfortable and there is a... More

We stayed at Franskraal in Gans Bay to do Great White shark cage diving the following morning. Franskraal is a little Bed & Breakfast a stone's throw away from the ocean. The sea views are breathtaking and you can hear the surf pounding on the beach at night. Amanda and Helmie de Vries were amazing hosts, leaving personal touches like... More

We found it accidently, but it was the best that could happen! Located a little bit outside of Gansbaai directly at the beach you have a wonderful lookout and it is easy to go for a small or long walk along the beach and cliffs. Very clean and nice rooms (only 2!) with a superb and modern bath. Although "only"... More

There is too much to praise to put in a review so in summary, this little B&B is second to none. The owners Helmie and Amanda are simply amazing - the most hospitable, welcoming and generous couple. After a long drive they were awaiting our arrival, where we were shown our beautiful, large bedroom with views of the sea, lovely... More

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at this B&B, we had a spacious room with large bath tub, seperate shower and seperate WC. The hosts Helmie and Amanda were very welcoming and relaxed and I could see thoroughly enjoy their role as hosts by the seaside. No detail is overlooked and little treats like chocolates on the pillow... More
