A beautiful property in a perfect location for exploring Franschhoek and the surrounding areas. The facilities were clean and modern, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly. The room was quiet with plenty of space and comfortable beds. There was a great choice for breakfast, and afternoon cake every day was a lovely touch. A much needed relaxing stay!

    “Super nettes Team. Aufgrund eines für unser Empfinden etwas zu harten Bettes - Wunsch nach Topper geäußert. Obwohl nicht im Bestand vorrätig, wurde es noch am gleichen Tag organisiert. Einfach toll!”

  • Top adres voor bezoek aan Franshoeck en de wijnstreek

    “Supervriendelijk personeel. Top ontbijt met keuze en buffet. Ruime kamer met afzonderlijk zithoek. Badkamer met douche en bad. Super proper. 2 leuke zwembaden, alleen niet verwarmd. Op wandelafstand van alle goede restaurants in de buurt. Ook de wijntram is niet zo ver ( kan te voet maar wij namen uit gemak een Uber).”

  • Alsof je thuis bent maar dan zeer goed verzorgd

    “We stayed for two nights at Plumwood Boutique Hotel for a trip to explore the wine reason. The hotel exceeded our expectations. Situated on a quiet street, the property is less than two mins walk from the centre of the main street of Franschhoek. The hotel itself is charming with lovely spaces and delightful staff. From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our room had fantastic view across to the mountains, was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Thoroughly recommend a stay a Plumwood!”

  • Excellent location when you are planning a trip to Franschhoek, everything at walking distance.
