The minute we walked through the gate into the rose garden with the beautiful Cape Dutch house in front of us, with the stunning mountainous backdrop we knew we were going to love it here. We were instantly calmed. And then came the wonderful and warm welcome from Peter and Brad, the managers, who met us at the top of the stairs and whisked us into the opulent reception. It was a home from home, albeit a rather more beautiful one.||Our gorgeous room was located in the courtyard with a pool and garden view. Very spacious with everything we could want including fluffy hot water bottles for the winter nights (we didn't need them as the aircon unit also heated the room and the staff had already put it on for our arrival so we were lovely and toasty). And with them was a little tasty treat each of yummy French Nougat.||We settled in very quickly and were shown the very well stocked honesty bar in the main house, the quaint dining room where we had breakfast and the 'heated' pool area.||The guesthouse is so close to the main high street, which is what we wanted, and it's literally a few mins walk. We felt super safe and ventured into town for a drink and a wander. Peter had recommended a lovely casual restaurant for our first night as we were tired from travelling. ||Breakfast is another fabulous experience with so much choice from the buffet and then hot items to order if you still have room! And it was all included in the price. We sat in the main restaurant area but there is also a lovely conservatory style section which is all glass and open in warm weather but closed and cosy in the winter months whilst still being super bright and overlooking an ornamental pond. The staff at breakfast and throughout were so friendly, helpful and professional - they couldn't do enough!||We absolutely loved our stay and have already booked for later this year to stay longer. Can highly...
Read more⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly unforgettable stay at Les Chambres Guesthouse
We stayed at Les Chambres in Franschhoek to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, and it could not have been more special. From the moment we arrived, the guesthouse felt warm, cozy, and beautifully prepared for our winter stay. The rooms were stunning, tastefully decorated, and offered the perfect balance of comfort and charm.
Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start a day in Franschhoek. On my dad’s birthday, the hosts went above and beyond to spoil him, making the morning feel extra memorable.
What truly sets Les Chambres apart, though, are the hosts. They were spectacular – friendly, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about the area. Peter didn’t just suggest the usual tourist spots, but took the time to recommend and even customise a day out for us, which made our trip feel authentic and unique.
If you’re choosing between guesthouses in Franschhoek, I can’t recommend Les Chambres highly enough. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s an experience – personal, warm, and unforgettable. We left feeling like family, and we’ll...
Read moreThis place is an absolute gem. You arrive from a small car park and enter through a gate that passes up a hedge corridor and at the end of this corridor you are greeted by the beautiful architecture of the old Cape Dutch which nestles in a beautiful rose garden. We then entered the main building which is so welcoming, and tahdah, you have arrived. The team were so friendly and helpful and we felt at home straight away. |Then on to our room that was very generously proportioned with lovely little touches: who doesn’t fancy trying the local sparkling dram: blooming delicious. Even if you don’t like nougat, try it: best I’ve ever tasted!|As it was the South African winter, we then went back to the main house and settled down by one of the fires and had a glass of local rosé. This was helped along with a delicious charcuterie board which I absolutely recommend. |The property is full of charm and character and the staff were so helpful. This was a short stop but with the main strip about 2-3 minutes away, and the stunning mountains all around, we have already booked to go back, and we can’t wait. 5 stars,...
