Franschhoek Country Cottages

A fabulous stay!

Pros: What a place to stay! The gardens and location of the property were fabulous and lived up to expectations. We loved the peacefulness and stunning mountain scenery, and when the zebras popped by, it really was the cherry on the cake. Our toddler loved them and explored the gardens. The open plan living space was perfect for our needs with everything we needed in the kitchen. The patio was very large, and we loved sitting out in the evenings listening to the sound of the animals as it got dark. We loved the fact there was no TV.

Cons: The freezer door wasn't there, so our ice blocks didn't really freeze.

Beautiful surroundings and comfortable, for excellent value overall!

Pros: Beautiful, quiet location with animal reserve. Excellent value for money. Very friendly host.

Cons: For the money, it is of course a little rudimentary but it had all we needed and we had no complaints or issues.

Beautiful cottage with Zebras in the backyard

Pros: The property is very well secured and conveniently located just a few minutes by car from Franschhoek’s city center. All the information provided beforehand was clear and extremely helpful, and Lance kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage before the official check-in time, which we really appreciated. The cottage itself is simple, comfortable, and self-catering, with several grocery stores only a short drive away. The kitchen is small, but perfectly adequate for a stay of a few days. There is a parking spot right in front of the entrance door. What truly made the experience magical were the zebras, springboks, and gnus roaming freely in the backyard. Our one-year-old daughter was absolutely mesmerized by being so close to these beautiful animals—it made our stay unforgettable.

My stay was beautiful, I will definitely visit again.

Pros: It’s very peaceful with lovely views and the Zebras and kudus were just spectacular.

Amazing experience in cozy cottages

Pros: Obviously pretty exciting and special to live that close to Zebras and Springboks!

Cons: Especially with wind the old building can be a bit loud at nighttime.

Pros: Very helpful host! Highly recommend the rustic cottage with the friendly zebras.

Warm and cosy! Close to the village and wine farms. Self sufficient. Beautiful surroundings. My boys loved the zebras.

Awesome. Such a lovely house, location and hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will be back!

Pros: Paid extra for the breakfast. It was so professionally presented and delivered. Loads of choice and options to take. Really lovely and the host who made the food was great company too! The hosts communication was great and very considerate. We had a small problem late evening and the host was there straight away to fix the issue. They were super friendly and helpful. Amazing house and location. Will definitely be back to visit again, next time with the rest of the family!

Cons: Absolute nothing. We loved everything about our stay. We should've stayed longer to be able to enjoy more of the accommodation and surrounding area!

Would 100% Rebook This Accommodation

Pros: The accommodation had a lot of space, both inside and outside. It was very calm and watching the zebras from our porch was the highlight of our stay. Also, Lance the host, was super helpful and kind! The checkout was no problem and neither was early check-in. The price is extremely fair for the comfort and friendliness you're getting.

Cons: Everything was perfect!

A must stay for anyone visiting Franschoek

Pros: Most stunning property I have ever seen stayed in. The cottage was lovely, paired with the Mountain View and the zebras that come right up close… MAGICAL!!

Cons: Everything was perfect.
