From the time you drive up until you leave you are treated as if you are the only guest on the property. The staff is attentive but not overbearing. Your requests are handled expeditiously. The room we had (room 6) overlooked the vineyards on two sides. It was breathtaking. This is one of the best properties we have stayed at.... More

My wife and I went for 2 nights. What an absolute privilege. The staff are fantastic, the hotel is out of this world. Food is wonderful. There is nothing we could fault. What a great time. More

“I love South Africa, and I have stayed in many magical properties there — however, La Residence is the most special. Set in a 30-acre estate in charming Franschhoek, tucked into its own vineyard, this contemporary chateau will make you feel like you’re visiting royalty.

The big windows in front of the bed opened to views of the vineyard and nature abound. Lots of original artworks in... More

What a beautiful, relaxing retreat nestled in the Franschoek Valley. From the minute we arrived we were so well looked after, no signing in just taken to our suite and from then on pure relaxation and indulgence. Beautiful suite, wonderful view and certainly no complaints about a thing. Everything here works like clockwork, no sooner you want something it arrives... More

Our friends had the ultimate wedding at La Residence - the first wedding on the estate. It was by far the most magnificent, luxurious and elegant wedding I have ever been to. My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to stay at this gem for the night of the wedding and we were treated like royalty! Everything at La Residence... More

This was our third time at La Residence and it really is the most wonderful place. The service is some of the best I have ever experienced and the hotel is beautiful. We were shown around the new residence villas that would be great if you are two couples travelling together. The design in each room and villa is different... More
