We had a lovely one-night stay at this guest house, just a short drive up a hill from the main street (likely would be too far to walk this at night). Our room had beautiful mountain views, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was cooked on order in the cozy open plan kitchen lounge area and was delicious! Highly recommend staying here, great value!

Comfortable, clean and nice place to stay
We arranged an early check in and the guest house were very helpful and informative. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We encountered load shedding (power cuts) while we were there but we had been prepared so could still enter the property etc without issue. Overall a lovely place to stay within 15 minute walk from the centre of town.

Totally Charming And Luxurious B&B
This guest house is just stunning. It caters for your comfort and pleasure and is well located close to the centre of Franschhoek. The owner is onsite to assist you with information should you need it. The rooms, gardens, pool, lounge and terrace are stylish and very contemporary. Off road parking, honesty bar for wine, beer and snacks, pool towels and robes are all provided. It really is a gem.

Great little guest house
Maison d’ail was exactly what we were looking for as a quaint bed and breakfast. The rooms are clean and bright and each morning the breakfast spread is fantastic. The location is a bit farther from town (about a 10-15 minute walk) than I expected, so if you don’t have a car, keep that in mind.
