First-rate hotel - look no further if you want to stay in Franscchoek town itself.
Pros:

The whole team of staff have to be the most friendly attentive group of people we have ever come across, nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was always apparent.
The location is super for the town of Franscchoek - don’t be put off by the location map, as this shows it to be right on the roadside which it isn’t. It’s set back and we didn’t notice any vehicle or pedestrian noise.

Cons:

There’s nothing we didn’t like, save that of having to leave 😞

Exceptional! We would love to come back
Pros:

Absolutely LOVED this hotel. The best boutique hotel in Franschhoek! Pool area, roof top and room was phenomenal.

Staff were exceptional, friendly and welcoming and so informative! From welcome drinks to the breakfast service they were faultless (we wanted to come back and stay again).

The rooms were huge and the location is great for walking in and out of the town but the hotel is also nice and peaceful.

We would love to come back!!

A Gem in the Heart of Franschhoek: Our Stay at The Last Word..
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, the staff were excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay memorable.

Names like Conrad and Franklin often come up in reviews, and it's easy to see why; they go above and beyond with personalized recommendations, seamless restaurant bookings, and little touches that make you feel truly spoiled.

The hotel itself is spotlessly clean, with elegant, spacious rooms featuring premium bedding, large walk-in showers, and thoughtful amenities like a complimentary minibar and evening turndown service (complete with a sweet treat).

The lounge area is inviting with an honesty bar, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, ideal for sundowners.
Breakfast is a highlight, fresh, delicious, and plentiful, setting you up perfectly for a day of wine tasting, especially if you take a tuk tuk!

Overall, The Last Word lives up to its name as a top choice in Franschhoek. If you're seeking a serene, high-end escape with outstanding service and cleanliness in a unbeatable location, we can't recommend it enough. We'd return in a heartbeat!
