We stay at many of the top rated B&Bs on tripadvisor and would rate Avondrood as the best. The rooms were very clean, well decorated, and spacious. The breakfast was served on the terrace and was excellent with fresh cut fruit and homemade baked goods. The grounds were immaculate with a pool and hot for your use. We could also... More

Franschhoek is an amazing place to visit when visiting the Cape, its a charming village in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Green, clean, safe and an absolute must see/do. We really researched where to stay and a lot of the places (hotels) were very expensive, so we decided to look at guesthouses/B&B and I am so... More

Where to start. Avondrood is a very pretty, immaculately maintained guest house. Lovely decor. Aukje was the perfect hostess and could not have been more helpful. Weeks before we arrived she sent a really helpful list of restaurants, wine lodges etc etc. The breakfast was the best we had during our South African holiday with lovely touches. We are already...

We enjoyed only two nights at Avondrood, unfortunately! The service was perfect! Accomodation more then 100 percent taken care of. It is just a little thing that makes a difference! As in previous review: a little goodnight-wish on the mirror, beds spread to take a comfortable nightsleep, with a little chocolately plus on our pillow... Aukje was so friendly to... More

This is a great place! The pool is great (the most clean one I saw in South Africa), the garden beautiful, the room is magnificent and the breakfast amazing. And all this with a very personal touch by Jarno and Aukje. Hope to return one day!
