It was beautiful! Exactly what I needed to relax.

Gorgeous place x such a spoil x lovely relaxed time away 😌

The location was beautiful. The host was really friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall an excellent experience. Would definitely recommend.

Our experience at La Petite Ferme in Franschhoek was nothing short of outstanding. The breathtaking views surpassed even the most stunning pictures we had seen beforehand. From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their warmth, professionalism, and seamless communication. We requested something at reception, and by the time we reached the restaurant, the team there was already aware and ready to assist which is an impressive level of coordination. Our room was spotless and serviced twice daily. In the morning, our bed was made after we got up, and in the evening, it was perfectly prepared for a restful night’s sleep. This thoughtful touch added to the sense of luxury. A special mention goes to Johan, who truly elevated our stay. He recommended fantastic wineries and restaurants, planning a personalised itinerary that far exceeded anything we could have found online. The restaurant staff were equally remarkable. Their attention to detail and efficiency ensured every meal was a pleasure. Overall, our time at La Petite Ferme was unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful retreat to anyone visiting Franschhoek.

We absolutely loved our stay at Trail’s End! The rooms are great: clean, tidy, large bathrooms, cozy beds. We both rented bikes and In the morning after our first night Pieter showed us a few wonderful biking trails. There are different levels of trails so there is something to do for everyone. We were also able to join for the train race in the weekend with Mike and Luke - an absolute must do if you enjoy biking! A fun addition was the tour in the biking museum which has been set up with great care and an eye for detail: for us it was nice to have some insights in the South African bicycle heroes. Trail’s end is also a great basis for tasting the wines of Elgin, we would highly recommend going to Oak valley and Paul Clüver (check if you need any reservations). Trail’s End is very “bruisend” (bubbly) as we say in Dutch. Many guests enjoy the shared area with or without kids - which for us (as we enjoy some livelihood) was quite nice. In the evening it is highly recommended to try the lovely dishes from the chef (try the hake if you enjoy fish and Malva Cake or brownie for the sweet tooth) and several great wines / beers / other drinks can be ordered at the bar. There is enough space for everyone to enjoy the great atmosphere and relax and read a book, play some games or watch soccer on the big screen tv. What worked well for us was that there is a quiet time from 22:00 - as everyone also wakes up early to go biking, hiking or do other activities. Lastly but not the least important: the staff is superfriendly, it is visible everyone enjoys working there and this gives a great energy to Trail’s End. Overall a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some challenging mountain bike trails, good wine and laughs with other guests & staff. Unfortunately we don’t live in South Africa but next time we visit we will definitely come back to Trail’s End.

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. We spent our first night at Houw Hoek 20 years ago. This time we were spoilt by the catering staff with chocolate writing on our desert plates wishing us a happy anniversary. All staff were friendly and helpful

Wonderful place in gorgeous garden

Really lovely cottage set in a beautiful wine estate. It was very quiet and relaxing, but just a 5 minute drive from town. The cottage had everything we needed and was really comfortable and nicely decorated. Pool and dam were fantastic for swimming and relaxing. We had a wonderful wine tasting and there are so many great places to eat very close by. Hosts were so helpful and welcoming, we would definitely come back here and recommend to friends.

Lovely house, astonishing garden

Staff and Dino were incredible. Location is ideal. Everything is just so comfortable.
