Sad to say we were really disappointed by the less than warm welcome from the owners. The place was fine, well located, well attended and the breakfast was great. But the owners were less than welcoming. We had read some of the earlier reviews and simply put it down to personality clashes. But we can say from first hand experience... More

This is a great place to tour the Cape winelands from. Just outside Franschoek, behind the monument for the Huguenots, this small boutique place is run by a couple of very German managers. Everything works, is tidy, and clean. We stayed in the bungalow outside the main house. Great views from the small terrace. Small remark : the garden boy... More

Even though we arrived a bit later than expected, we where welcomed in a warm and open manner by the owners. We have been looking for a beautiful place to end our trip through southern SA and have found it here. Large rooms, friendly staff, quiet area on the edge of Franschhoek and views from the pool to die for.

A beautiful setting and special winter getaway. We had a lovely room overlooking the pool, fireplace in the room and dining area just outside our door. The room's view is not the same as in the brochure but one can easily forgive that once one steps just outside onto the small patio, with 360" views of the Franschhoek mountains!! The... More

I live in Johannesburg and travel to Franschoek often. There are so many wonderful places to stay that I can’t begin to warn you enough – this guest house is a true let down. The couple who manage the property are rude, argumentative and have huge attitudes. The smallest request feels like they are doing you the biggest favor. Upon... More

I feel that this review is a gross misrepresentation of the facts, as well as a violation of privacy. With regards to the twin bed misunderstanding :She had made an online booking and the ‘paper trail’ showed absolutely no mention of requiring a twin bed (One simply ticks a box if twin beds are required). Although she was incredibly upset... More

We spent six wonderful nights at La Cabriere whilst exploring Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Cape Town. Bernd, Monika and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We particularly appreciated their advice and booking of restaurants and wine tours. We stayed in a deluxe room which had a beautiful view of the pool area and mountains beyond. Breakfasts were delicious and... More

La Cabriere is located few minutes from the town centre of Franschhoek and is the perfect place to spend a couple of days while wining and dining in the valley. The rooms are luxurious, there's a refreshing pool area and deck chairs enough for everyone, and the german couple in command are very-very friendly. I really miss my 5 o'clock... More

This guest house looks very beautiful in the photographs and despite some great reviews, the reality simply didn't match the expectations. We were so looking forward to it and from the moment we arrived it was disappointment owing to the rude welcome from the manager's wife. Had we not paid up front, we would have left immediately.

This is such a gem. A beautiful location, far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to walk should you want to during the day. Rooms - really good, with a shower to die for. The views from all the rooms are of the local hills and/or vineyards. The poolside rooms looked good whilst ours was at... More
