    “OBSESSED with everything about this hotel! The location, the cozy lobby, the beautiful room, and the friendliest staff!! We arrived late in the evening when most restaurants in town were closed, so Andee, who is sunshine in living form, found us snacks in the kitchen. The help yourself drink station the lobby is extremely well stocked and the lobby is so welcoming, we saw other guests just relaxing there. The rooms are massive and extremely comfortable (and stylish!). Breakfast is great. All of the staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating, we loved everyone! The location is walkable to the main stretch in town, with a bunch of restaurants nearby, as well as the wine tram station. But the hotel is set back from the main road so we didn’t hear any noise at all. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!”

    “The staff were so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The honesty bar area with cosy fire was a home from home, and we also enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The breakfast was wonderful. The fruit and cheese selection plus cooked breakfast was a real treat. The croissants were delicious. Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. We especially loved the bedtime treat of mini creme brulee on our bedside tables. Delicious 😋. All in all, a fabulous two nights at the Last Word, Franschoek was special. Thank you to all of the staff who made it so. We will visit again.”
