Pros:

Wohnung war funktional und grosszügig.

Cons:

Es gibt sicher viele schöne Wohnungen in der Anlage. Unsere hatte keine Aussicht, nur unschöne Gebäuderückwand. In Booking Beschreibung war Aussicht. Infrastruktur im Zimmer war zwar Ok, aber Stecker und Steckdosen z. T. nicht kompatibel - wohl schlechte Qualitätssicherung. Bei kurzfristiger Buchung über Booking gibt es einfach den 'Restposten'

Muito agradável. O staff é muito gentil e prestativo. Somos gratos!
Pros:

Boa localização, staff muito gentil e prestativo, acomodações amplas e boa relação custo/benefício.

Cons:

O café da manhã não é uma prioridade para esta acomodação. Em razão do preço e do que era oferecido no buffet, preferimos conhecer um café na cidade, o que acabou se mostrando uma ótima decisão.

Nice property with large rooms, but slightly dated, and a little noisy in the morning.
Pros:

Very large rooms, and comfortable beds. Fantastic views from the restaurant area.

Cons:

There was a lot of noise from staff in the hotel from pretty early in the morning (around 7am). I found it relatively pricey, as it is getting a little dated and probably needs a refresh soon.

A good base to discover Franschhoek and surrounds although there is about a 20 minute walk into town. Beautiful quiet lo
Pros:

Friendly staff, very helpful. Quiet location with beautiful views. Room large and spacious.

Cons:

Food in restaurant was below average. Our suite was in the main building and was a bit dated and needs some renovations (taps on basins in bathroom all loose). Couldn’t really use the bath as water was brownish - perhaps hot water system needs replacing!

Foi boa, mas não retornaria para o mesmo hotel.
Pros:

Local muito bonito e agradável. Equipe muito simpática e dedicada.

Cons:

O local em janeiro é sujeito a queimadas (incêndios), mas o hotel não está preparado para tanto, pois ficamos sem energia todas as noites, sem internet e sem agua quente. Os geradores do hotel não são suficientes.

A brilliant stay, great villas, great location and would recommend
Pros:

Loved the property - it was beautiful clean and comfortable. In a great location and staff couldn’t do enough to help.

Cons:

There was building work going on right outside our villa - I know it has to be done but was a bit inconvenient and felt like we could have been placed in a villa further away from it all because it wasn’t that busy while we were there!

Pros:

Beautiful apartments in the most wonderful setting. We stayed one night after doing the wine tram during the day and were able to enjoy both the swimming pool and the restaurant in the evening. We also had a lovely breakfast the following morning. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and accommodating, we had a truly fantastic stay.

Достойное место за свои деньги, подходящее для тихого и спокойного отдыха
Pros:

Есть все для комфортного времяпрепровождения (особенно если приехать большой компанией на выходные, например). Современный ремонт и мебель, есть все необходимое для жизни и отдыха. Отдельные парковочные боксы для вилл. Вкусный завтрак. Красивая территория отеля. В пешей доступности есть большое количество магазинов и ресторанов. В номере есть камин

Cons:

Быстро закончилась горячая вода. Если едете большой компанией, то придется ждать, пока нагреется следующая партия воды в бойлере
