A rare gem in SA's culinary capital
Pros:

We came to Franschoek to celebrate my partner's birthday. So happy we chose Franschoek, even happier we chose Plumwood. They made his day special from morning at breakfast until the turndown. The breakfast was amazing. We were a walking distance to the restaurants and shops in the main street. The establishment was very clean and the STAFF AMAZING. Each one of them made our stay very special. There will be many happy returns!

Cons:

Our stay was a bit short

Perfect spot in the center of town to explore wine country and unwind
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel with two oils. The views are amazing from the second floor rooms. The staff went above and beyond. The honor bar was a nice touch sat the end of the night Two minutes to get into town and loads of places to eat and drink. IF you want the wine trolley five minute walk. Taxis to nearby vineyards about 9-12 dollars

Cons:

Nothing
