“Beautfiful hotel in the centre of town, with everything anyone would ever need from a stay!”

10.0

06 Jan 2025

The property was so well located in the centre of town, close to all the restaurants and shops. The staff were so welcoming and made such an effort to make our engagement extra special including arranging some flowers and champagne for our arrival. The room was very spacious and had the benefit of its own private pool, sunbeds and wood fired jacuzzi. The hotels have gone above and beyond to think about everything that guests might require from their stay. The breakfast was insane too. Could not recommend more highly!

“Nothing too much trouble”

10.0

31 Dec 2024

This is a place where you really get looked after as if you were staying with friends or family. When we arrived we opened our bedroom door to the courtyard and pool and sat for a few moments to soak up the beauty of the location and setting — within a moment we were offered a drink of our choice whilst we sat. The staff are warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. If you wanted recommendations on restaurants in Franschhoek they would willingly provide ideas and even book a table for you. The breakfast is something else, with a massive choice of items for such a small hotel. The fresh fruit platter was beautifully prepared, followed by poached eggs cooked perfectly. The room was fitted out with style and no expense spared on the furniture, fittings and furnishings, it was a room that would happily sit in any interior design magazine. We had a wonderful time and can’t recommend it enough. Now we look forward to the return trip.

“Incredible - just book!”

25 Nov 2024

This was just perfect - the rooms are stunning and so comfortable. Every detail has been thought about. The surrounding outside areas are also incredible. The food and drinks were delicious, and they had gluten free options available (high quality ones!). Despite this being such a luxury experience in terms of the physical space, the thing that really made it amazing were the team at akademie - Babs and team went out of their way to make sure we had an incredible time, they went above and beyond, and did so with such kindness!

Diana

“Luxury and hospitality done really well.”

10.0

11 Oct 2024

It's located a block from the Main Street which is a very easy and welcome stroll after dinner. Stunning establishment with treasures filling every corner - the pool area was private and relaxing and so beautifully curated. Evening drinks are served in the orangerie next to an open fire - really special. Breakfast was an absolute treat, served on bespoke ceramics, the setting was next level. Declan is a born host and runs this hotel with his team like a home away from home. This is not a great place to just drop in and sleep, you need time to enjoy the surrounds and the hospitality.

Jade

“Most definitely one of the best boutique hotels in the world”

10.0

24 Sep 2024

This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and a unique experience we will never forget. The room (Oort B in our case) was pure charm and luxury. It’s rare to find a hotel room where so much thought and attention has been given to every detail of one’s stay. Particular highlights: freestanding copper bath, wood-fired hot tub, huge and comfortable beds catering for all temperature preferences, a fully stocked (and complimentary) mini bar, internal wood burning stove, a music system, and the list goes on, but I’ll leave some magic for you to discover for yourself. Declan and the team were warm and welcoming hosts, and no request was ever too much for them. Declan welcomes his guests like old friends, and his love for the hotel shines through. The team hosts a magnificent breakfast service in the orangerie, where we also enjoyed aperitif listening to a pianist as well as a nightcap (or two!) in front of an open fire. Bikes, towels, pétanque, sun hats, pools, etc are all available for guests to enjoy. The hotel is located on a quiet and charming street near Franschhoek Main Street. Easy walking distance to everything in town, and totally safe day and night. Couldn’t ask for better.
