Beautiful property and very close to the wine tram. 15 minute walk to Main Street but easy to get taxis at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place to stay in franschhoek.

All the rooms are different but all are good-sized. Our room has double bathroom sinks, a large shower, a chaise lounge in addition to two armchairs. Very comfy. The breakfasts are excellent! Their so-called mini-continental is big enough to fill up most people: fresh baked muffin, croissant, fresh fruit, cheeses& meats, yogurt, juice, coffee. But you can also add eggs Benedict, omelette, shashuska, French toast— all included! We were in the winter but I can see how nice it’d be to enjoy their pool and gardens in the summer. Highly recommend.

This accommodation was absolutely wonderful! Very nice and spacious. The pool area was delightful. Close to both the town and the wine tram, just a few minutes’ walk away. The staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was amazing; they made it just for you! Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at Residence Vive La Vie. We were warmly greeted upon our early arrival and were very happy that they were able to have our room ready (after a very long flight). Our cottage was spacious and well appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the center of town, very convenient. The breakfast was phenomenal, fresh cut fruit and made to order dishes prepared by some talented chefs every day. Highly recommend!
