For us it was the perfect place to be. At the Dieu Donné Winery, we stayed in one of the (5) double bed rooms they have. Spacious room. Bathroom with shower, bathtub and small terrace. Fridge. Coffee machine. Air con. Comfy bed. Our room was at ground level, hence had a second door to the side (‚easy access‘ to the pool). Amazing views. Very yummy breakfast ( very delicious croissants).

Remarks: the restaurant was closed, only platters available (during hours of wine tasting). You either need a car or be prepared/ willing to book a ‚taxi‘. The distance to the town centre is approx 2 km but with ~160m change in elevation.

Wow the view is just spectacular! The vineyard on villa 3 is right under your balcony. Very spacious and clean living room with kitchen and 2 bedrooms. The valley of Franschoek looks stunning once the sunset comes. The team is just amazing. They helped with fire, ordering food straight to appartement and made us feel relaxed throughout the stay.

You will feel cold during winter and early spring as the conditioners can work together. So if you occupy 2 rooms only one room can be warmed up. Bathroom is very cold. Even when we had fire set up for 4 hours the appartment was not fully warmed. Early morning was freezingly cold. Another thing to be aware of is the Uber taxi. Taxi did not come to the apartment as the location was not showing correctly to the driver. Make sure to set right location or ask team members to call it for you in advance.

The house was lovely - large and clean, with great views over the valley and mountains around Franschhoek. Parking is next to the house. The location is very quiet. The house is around 1km outside of the centre of Franschhoek. During the day it is possible to walk into Franschhoek. In the evenings Uber taxis are readily available. There are USB sockets in the bedrooms for charge mobile phones.

The check in process was quick and efficient but the receptionist did not give us any information about the facilities available at the vineyard.

The staff were lovely and friendly, the setting is beautiful and tranquil and the shower was the best we've ever had in our lives! The bedroom and bathroom were both huge and decorated very nicely. Bed was super comfy. Lovely views over the vines from the pool (not heated but perfect for hot days). It was our anniversary when we were there and the staff left us a bottle of sparkling wine and rose petals on the bed which was very sweet.

Breakfast was good but not amazing, some elements like the croissants were delicious and other elements like the hollandaise sauce could be improved.

Such a beautiful property inside and out. Sadly we spent most of our stay in the pouring rain so weren't able to appreciate the amazing view until just before we were leaving and the clouds disappeared! The rooms were out of this world - spacious, tastefully decorated with lovely linen, a fridge, coffee machine and in our case, incredible views with a small balcony. As for the bathrooms - wow! Huge! We had a shower and a bath (with welcome small touches of a candle and bath salts), a heated towel rail and his and her basins. We could not fault the accommodation at all - it was perfect! The breakfasts were extremely tasty and cooked to order and the small cold buffet with croissants, fruit and cheese was a good accompaniment. We loved this guest house and would highly recommend it to anyone.

We found the staff to be a little bit aloof and at times, really hard to locate. They were friendly and helped with our requests however (and even did our laundry without being asked - amazing!).

I booked this accommodation for a friend for his birthday and when I mentioned this to Maison Montagne, they upgraded his room to a Deluxe King Room overlooking the mountain and the vineyards. He mentioned that we could order room service as well. He woke up to a breakfast spread the next morning and explored the vineyards. He had a wonderful stay and mentioned that the staff was amazing and the small details made the stay memorable like the heated towel rack. This is definitely a hidden gem and value for money!

Nothing.

This was, by far, the best so far of our trip to SA, the location was out of this world! The views from the property were stunning, the staff were amazing, the room was spacious and super clean. Breakfast was served with maximum choices, waiter Henry was the sweetest guy and his colleague at the pool in the afternoon (sorry can’t recall his name) was more than helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our laundry was taken, washed and ironed, returned by midday, all included on the stay. We are already planning a trip back, thanks so much xx

There was absolutely nothing to complain about

Room Bleu: Location was beautiful. Stunning views. Room layout was good. On ground floor just off reception. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom layout & decor was lovely. Toiletries provided were very nice. Nice little outside sitting area on bathroom side. Dressing table with hairdryer available. Able to buy wine onsite. Breakfast was very good. Tea & coffee available in the rooms. And small 250ml bottle of water per person.

Bathroom could use some kind of shelf or small cabinet to put toiletry bags on. The lounge chairs in front of TV both had tears in the fabric on the arm joins. Should be stitched or re-upholstered. Cushions on the bed had threads pulled that should be cut off or re-stitched. Chest of drawers under TV had loose handle hanging off. Water bottle size should be at least 500ml.

Located at the top of a hill/mountain with panoramic views of the town and entire valley, this winery/accommodation has an unparalleled location. Sitting on the terrace, enjoying their wine immediately in front of the vines is something special. The room was spacious and very comfortable and my only regret was that I could not stay longer! Special acknowledgment for the afternoon/evening property manager, Karim, who was not only great at his job but a great person to have conversation with.

I highly recommend Maison Montagne- extremely comfortable, clean and upmarket accommodation with unbelievably friendly staff who were always willing to go above and beyond to do anything that they could to improve our experience. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, the bathrooms are pristine and very modern with a wonderful shower and bath, and the communal pool area has wonderful views of the valley. The breakfast was also excellent! We loved our stay so much that we even extended it for another night as we didn’t want to leave! 10/10
