This was our second visit and it was just as good.
Pros:

This was our second visit and it was just as good. Plumwood is ideally located at the centre of Franschhoek in a residential area with lots of restaurants and wineries nearby. Lovely gardens and pool, great breakfast, great rooms and friendly team. The Wine Tram terminal is about a 20 min walk.

Cons:

It is getting more expensive.
