Stunning Franschhoek tourist breakaway. Stunning home exceptionally located close to all tourist attractions in Franschhoek but still far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Really enjoyed our stay and this will be our first choice whenever staying in Franschhoek. Owner is friendly, available and helpful, which made our stay all the more pleasant and easy!

Dear Jennefer, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for staying with us. We truly appreciate your understanding. Just to give some context — we’ve recently taken over this property from the previous owner and are currently in the process of doing a number of renovations and upgrades across the property. As several bookings were already made under the previous ownership, we weren’t able to block out the calendar entirely, but we’re actively fixing and improving things as we go. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused during your stay. Please rest assured that we’re addressing all maintenance items as a top priority, and your input helps us create a much better experience for future guests. Warm regards, Assistant Manager

Warm, tasteful and more than sufficient. We loved staying at Lavender Cottage! The cottage was tastefully decorated, warm and inviting! Thank you for the lemons and avocados on the table! The house is well located and we could walk to the nearest bakery. The host communicated with us before and after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. We discovered a gem in Franschhoek which we would love to return to with friends or family.

A gracious home in the middle of Franschhoek. We lived in a comfortable house and could reach all our Franschhoek destinations on foot.

Very neat, quiet and well furnished. Tim received us very kindly and helped us. The house is well furnished, very neat and comfortable close to shops and attractions but still in a peaceful environment. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Baie netjies, rustig en goed ingerig. Tim het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en gehelp. Die huis is goed ingerig, baie netjies en gerieflik naby winkels en besienswaardighede maar steeds in 'n rustige omgewing. Wens ons kon langer bly!
