We had an appointment at Val d'Or on the 21April 2012. Arrived 10min earlier to view the place for a possible wedding. When we arrived the manageress was curt and unfriendly, rather went out of her way to be rude. She did not even show the rooms or a room, the wedding venue itself was not clean either and no... More

Dear JW It is unfortunate that you had such a bad experience, but you seem to have confused our establishment erroneously, with another establishment, as the Tourism Grading Council has awarded us 4 Stars, not 1 Star. We have many functions and weddings on an ongoing basis, and clearly from our previous reviews, we have many satisfied clients. Regards Valdor... More

Spent 4 nights here in February - had a lovely time - extremely helpful staff and a lovely setting, with beautiful views. A great base to stay, with wonderful restaurants and wineries close by - Franschoek is just lovely - try Dieu Donne for the best view of the sunset in the valley, with delicious food and wine too.

We stayed in Val d'or guest house for two nights and didn't want to leave. The grounds and the guest house are stunning, the staff could not be more attentive making sure that everything was to our satisfaction. We are looking forward to returning and staying longer on our next visit. The whole experience was simply perfect. More

We stayed at Val d'Or by recommendation of friends who'd visited previously, and we were not disappointed. The location is simply perfect and the hotel offers excellent facilities a short drive from Franschhoek town centre. We stayed in the bridal suite (we've been married for nearly 40 years but appreciated the offer), which was extremely comfortable with all facilities needed.... More

We decided to spend two nights at Val d'Or simply by finding in here on TripAdvisor and reading the reviews. What a find!! The good reviews could not have been more accurate--Val d'Or is incredible. STUNNINGLY beautiful--as in "stop-in-your-tracks-to-gasp-and-stare-in-stunned-silence" beautiful. Located in a valley surrounded by mountains and right on the main 'drag' through Franschhoek, you can literally walk to... More

We had the most amazing wedding at Val d'Or Estate in December! The venue is breath taking and everything went so smoothly. The rooms are massive, and easily accommodated my guests' every need. The ceremony under the lapa at the pool, with the mountains as a backdrop set the stage for a perfect evening. The Reception was even better -... More

We were part of a family wedding held in the area and our accommodation was booked at Val d'Or for a period of 4 nights. Our party consisted of a number of children and babies as well as adults, young and old, all of whom had travelled from far flung places in the world. This could not have been a... More

We ended our South African holiday with an overnight stop at Val d,Or which we had booked through the internet. I would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy beautiful scenery , great facilities and top class service. We stayed in a "Barn Room" which was modern, spacious and very comfortable. Bob C Stirling More

We stayed at Val d'Or as part of a longer trip through the Cape, using a Groupon voucher. It must be said this really is a fantastic place. The setting was beautiful, the facilities outstanding and the service brilliant. I can happily recommend it to anybody wanting a comfortable, smart and slick place to stay... More
