Very cute house.
Was very surprised how cute the house is. The photos on the website do not show how cute the living area, bathroom and kitchen are. Was a nice surprise. Was very clean and it was nice to see the animals so close.

Conveniently outside of town.
Our stay was pleasant and without problems. It was nice to stay in silence outside the town on the slopes of the beautiful mountains. The wildlife is definitely a bonus.

A place where the soul can rest.
We stayed for 3 nights. The silence was heavenly and the sunset playing against the mountains while the animals are grazing almost touching distance from you is wonderful. The unit was nice and clean and very tidy and has everything you could possibly need. We will definitely book again.

Lovely getaway weekend!
We were pleasantly surprised with the lovely cottage with the most incredible mountain views. The cottage is very comfortable and cosily furnished. We were fortunate that it was cold so we could burn the fireplace every night. Excellent location and value for money.

Alles was piekfyn tot die bobbejane gekom het. Een grote het in die huis deur die venster gekom en ons kos gesteel.

Everything was perfect until the baboons came. One big one came into the house through the window and stole our food.
There was no warning of baboons. It was disturbing and we kept our windows and doors closed afterwards.

Good breakaway.
Franschhoek Country Cottages is a great break from the city. Tranquility everywhere you look. The units have a farm feeling and the smells surrounding you are something special. The highlight was the zebra, springbuck and bluewildebeest that come very close. Unfortunately there was some melted chocolate on our bedding which made us wonder if they replaced it with fresh linen after the previous guests left.

Basic accommodation.
We found it extremely difficult to find the place as there are no directions on the road. We did call and a man gave directions in English, but we still repeatedly got lost and even ended up in a lock-up "estate" where we had to ask a resident to drive us around the gate for us to open so we could get out. We could only find the sign with a zebra on it, which indicated where to drive, after we had driven into a farm. The key was left in the kitchen on the counter for us, and we never saw a host. In fact, the host also did not reply to my SMS indicating that we would be leaving. The accommodation was very clean and tidy, but very basic. The power went out and we had to fend for ourselves in the dark to find a Consol bottle on the porch that provided a trickle of light. The room has no TV, which was not indicated on the advertisement. The game was quite close and the zebras were beautiful, but the poor chamois was extremely thin and looked like he might die at any moment. There was no indication of any security and we had to park in front of the room, without any canopy.

Nice, but could be better.
The places are nice and clean and to wake up and you have some wild animals there is very nice. The only negative things we would like to mention is that the directions are not clear and the sign you have to follow does not show the right way. So we got lost and searched for almost an hour where to go. There was no one to tell us who slept where and we weren't the only people there. The other people asked for 1 house with a double bed and 1 with 2 single beds and then got 2 houses with a double bed each and we then exchanged. The day after we checked out, the owner called us twice to say we hadn't checked out while we were already in Cape Town. If he maybe pays a little more attention and knows a little more about his guests it might be better. His animals are but thin. You can count all the ribs of the gemsbok and the 1 springbok was hurt and had to suffer because no one cares for the animals. It's not really acceptable to me.
