The property reminds of Bali in Indonesia - From the Moment we corresponded with Byron at reception, a memorable experience was already forged - this guy is simply the best and infinitely competent - The wife and I were personally welcomed and hosted by the Deputy General Manager, Mr. Hoon, who waited at the main entrance of the building - This was our third visit to 1 of 4 properties in the stable - Both my wife and I immediately agreed that this is Africa's Best boutique hotel - Mr. Hoon further confirmed our view that this property is a must visit for at least 3 - 5 nights when in the Winelands - We learnt so much of this region from Mr. Hoon and we are frequent travelers to this region, however his detailed knowledge and passionate approach leaves one in awe - We were not just inspired by the history, but also first handedly experienced outstanding and faultless service, throughout our visit - Every singly staff member passing by stops and enquires, if all is still good - Well done to Mr. Hoon who reminded us of the difference between a manager and a leader - Mr. Hoon is clearly a leader and one who leads from the front - The property is not far from the main road and the numerous wine tasting farms and restaurants in Franschhoek - All rooms are way above average in size and enjoys exquisite mountain views - The peacocks are forever entertaining guests and there is even some wildlife at the entrance to the property - This is a MUST VISIT property.
