The Owner's Cottage at Grande Provence

What a fantastic stay! Excellent communication ahead of my arrival, a spacious and luxurious room equipped with everything one could think of, delicious breakfast and such attention to detail. Special mention must be made of Wellington and Rene who gave such excellent service throughout the weekend. I was a guest of the Franschhoek Literary Festival this time, but will definitely make a repeat visit on my own steam!

We had the most amazing stay! The rooms and living space was stunning, and the service was excellent from Wellington and JC. The facilities were good. Would recommend!

I took my 85 year old father to visit Franschoek and wanted something very special and comfortable; Grande Provence was perfect. The warmest welcome, stunning views, beautiful living room, garden and pool. We had the Shiraz room that was so comfortable, quiet, opened onto a little garden of our own. Wellington & Jessie are the nicest hosts and breakfast was heavenly. We walked up to the wine tasting which was a 15 minute walk through the vines, and came to a lovely garden shaded by trees and decorated with original art, we felt like we had found paradise and we didn’t want to leave!

Nice and beautifully furnished hotel in a quiet area of Franschhoek. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and with many amenities. Unfortunately, we had a bad smell coming from the sewer in the bathroom and certain small things in the room need refurbishment (e.g. shower door dors not close properly, light sensor randomly switches on and off). However, I would consider the property rather as a small guest house and not a hotel as it does not offer the same service & facilities as other hotels with similar prices. There is nobody around in the evening/night in case assistance is needed, it does not have a gym or bar (only a common room with no service) and a limited breakfast menu. Compared to other hotels, service was rather reactive and it was partially difficult to get ahold of somebody from the hotel. Overall, a pleasant experience but the value for money isn't quiet right.

Lovely small hotel, great and amicable crew and beautiful setting. Adjacent property perfect. for wine tasting, dinners and a bit of cultural pleasures in the galleries.
