「The hotel fully matches the photos. It’s clean, cozy, and each guest has a private entrance. The only downside was that in our room there was no door between the bedroom and the bathroom, which felt a bit unusual. It was also a bit chilly in the room in the evening.
The property itself is lovely, with a pleasant area for walking where you can even spot peacocks. A decent pool and a sauna. There is also a nice restaurant on site, where breakfast is served in the morning and you can enjoy a delicious dinner in the evening. The breakfasts are European-style, with especially tasty fish and fresh fruit.」
「upon arriving at the hotel the staff was super friendly. so helpful and polite and willing to help. the location of the hotel is a great and beautiful Franschoek.
the room was okay it felt more like a Airbnb than that hotel. it was not what we expected and not for the price we paid. the room felt a little bit updated and they were some essential items missing. there was also no milk for your coffee and no coffee at all. if you want to order something you had to add an additional hundred rounds to get it delivered to your door. some of the things and the room let it felt outdated. the view of the parking lot is also not what was expected. the beautiful views were across the road in the hotel. The pictures was a bit misleading and disappointing when arriving to the room.」
「We stayed here for 3 nights. Perfect location, perfect stay. Breakfast was great. Lunch was available but at the time of our stay dinner wasn’t available. However town is super close by and there are ample restaurants to choose from. Staff are super friendly and helpful. There are a couple of swimming pools that the guests can use. The villas are spacious, clean and have everything you need. We would 100% recommend staying here and we would definitely return!」
「An amazing little hotel just off the Main Street. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were a very good size and clean and well decorated. Breakfast was in a nice court yard and plenty of options and good serving sizes. Really impressed and would love to return one day.」
「Exquisite location with gorgeous views. The room had central heating which was very welcome in winter.
Highly recommend the Spa - we treated ourselves to one of the personal journey packages and it was totally worth it.」
「Это место, где хочется задержаться.
От самого входа в аппараты и до момента выселения улыбка не сходила у меня с лица.
Здесь много милых винтажных вещей в едином стиле и при этом очень современно и наполнено нужными для проживания деталями.
Местоположение - в самом центре жизни города, очень удобно как для неспешной прогулки по галереям и магазинам, так и для расслабленного обеда или ужина в милых кафе. А станция винного трамвая совсем рядом.
Обязательно будем рекомендовать друзьям.」
Akademie really lives up to her reputation and fully deserves all the accolades. It is indeed a home away from home, and service is warm, personable and probably the best you can get. Planning to go back again soon. Thank you to the staff for showing us the best of South African hospitality. Can't wait to be back!
We had the most incredible stay here! The host was gracious and went the extra mile to make this place feel like home. The double shower heads were a wonderful surprise! Large, deep soaking tub was an added bonus. Walking out to an incredible view was the cherry on the cake. This place is one in a million!
This is a very beautiful cottage. Inside, there is a barbecue and everything you need for it (coals, lighter fluid, etc.). There is a fireplace with firewood. There is a microwave and a refrigerator (no stove). The bathroom has underfloor heating. The property has a beautiful grounds.
Отель понравился. Вкусные завтраки. Удобное расположение: близко к центральной улочке с ресторанами, на винодельни нужно ехать на машине, но удобно, что они все сосредоточены в окрестностях Франшхука.
Beautifully decorated inside with all required necessities. The location is ideal for exploring the town. Excellently located near fine dining restaurants and wine farms.
