La Fontaine Franschhoek

Our Review

La Fontaine Guest House offers a warm and welcoming stay in the heart of Franschhoek, combining comfort with an excellent location. Set within peaceful gardens, the property feels calm and inviting, providing a relaxed retreat while still being close to the town’s vibrant centre. From arrival, the atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, making it easy to feel at home.

The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, with a stylish yet understated design that suits the relaxed Franschhoek setting. Each room is thoughtfully arranged, offering a good level of comfort for both short stays and longer visits. The overall feel is boutique rather than hotel-like, which adds to the charm. The communal areas enhance the experience, particularly the garden and pool area. These spaces are ideal for unwinding between wine tastings or after a day exploring the Winelands. Breakfast is a highlight, enjoyed in a relaxed setting and offering a good start to the day before heading out to nearby estates.

Location is one of La Fontaine’s strongest assets. It is an easy walk into the centre of Franschhoek, with its excellent restaurants, cafés, galleries and wine tram all within close reach. This convenience allows guests to enjoy the town without needing to drive.

Overall, La Fontaine Guest House delivers a comfortable and well-located base in the Cape Winelands. With its friendly service, pleasant surroundings and proximity to Franschhoek’s main attractions, it is a reliable and enjoyable choice for travellers seeking a relaxed and welcoming stay.
