Hotel Excepcional
Pros:

Tudo excepcional. Atendimento impecável, todos muito simpáticos. Agradeço em especial a Monita que nos tratou muito bem e fez de tudo para a estadia ser a melhor possível. Localização excelente. Café da manhã muito bom. Localização perfeita. Arrumam o quarto duas vezes ao dia e preparam a cama para uma boa noite de sono.

Cons:

Somente a piscina gelada, poderia ser aquecida.

Comfortable Franschoek oasis, will stay here again!
Pros:

The friendly staff, wonderful walkable location, clean and generously sized rooms, pool and sun beds where there is sunshine most of the day, honesty bar with great choices and simply fantastic breakfast.

Cons:

If I was being picky I would say that the exterior brick paving and garden landscaping is a bit dated and could do with a refresh to achieve more of a wow factor. Also please can ice be made available somehow at the honesty bar! Staff were super helpful regardless though and always available for us.

Pros:

A beautiful property in a perfect location for exploring Franschhoek and the surrounding areas. The facilities were clean and modern, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly. The room was quiet with plenty of space and comfortable beds. There was a great choice for breakfast, and afternoon cake every day was a lovely touch. A much needed relaxing stay!

Wir werden vermutlich mal wiederkommen!
Pros:

Super nettes Team. Aufgrund eines für unser Empfinden etwas zu harten Bettes - Wunsch nach Topper geäußert. Obwohl nicht im Bestand vorrätig, wurde es noch am gleichen Tag organisiert. Einfach toll!

Top adres voor bezoek aan Franshoeck en de wijnstreek
Pros:

Supervriendelijk personeel. Top ontbijt met keuze en buffet. Ruime kamer met afzonderlijk zithoek. Badkamer met douche en bad. Super proper. 2 leuke zwembaden, alleen niet verwarmd. Op wandelafstand van alle goede restaurants in de buurt. Ook de wijntram is niet zo ver ( kan te voet maar wij namen uit gemak een Uber).

Cons:

Niets. Alleen spijtig dat zwembad niet verwarmd was, maar dat wisten we op voorhand.

Beautiful property in the heart of Franschhoek.
Pros:

We stayed for two nights at Plumwood Boutique Hotel for a trip to explore the wine reason. The hotel exceeded our expectations. Situated on a quiet street, the property is less than two mins walk from the centre of the main street of Franschhoek. The hotel itself is charming with lovely spaces and delightful staff. From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our room had fantastic view across to the mountains, was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Thoroughly recommend a stay a Plumwood!

Cons:

Can’t fault anything.
