A paradise within a paradise! Franschhoek itself is pretty nice and for all wine lovers a paradies. But we immediately felt at home, when we arrived at the Cottage on 55. The hosts are super nice and helpful, the garden is amazing and the room is more than a room, it is a 360 degrees wellbeing place with so many nice and well chosen details, that you immediately settle in and relax. The water quality is excellent from the tub. For me, the best water I ever drank. But this on a side-note.

Real wood heater stove was very cosy as it was quite cold in the evenings. Breakfast was excellent - good choice of buffet with additional food cooked to order. Also an excellent hike around the hills of the estate arranged by the staff.

Nestled between Franschhoek and Stony Brook rivers, Holden Manz Country House offers spacious rooms with free Wi-Fi. The wine estate features an outdoor pool, as well as a private health and wellness spa.

Tranquility and spending quality time are the main things we were looking for and that is exactly what we got. Beautiful views, away from our usual busy city life. The place was clean, great staff - very welcoming. We felt like we were part of the family and the team made great suggestions on local restaurants to visit for dinner. The complimentary wine tasting and wine in our suite were highly appreciated. We did not feel the impact of loadshedding because the house had a back up power supply. The second day of our stay was a cold day but we had wine and a fire place in our suite to make everything alright.

    Honestly the most beautiful and charming little cottage in a wonderful spot. The cottage was clean - had lovely smeg appliances, a fantastic view and only a few minutes from town. We especially loved the fire wood hot tub and the braii on the front stoop. We loved how they use the offcuts of the vines for firewood. We will be back!!!

    The property has beautiful views, and the cottage is cozy. The fireplace and gas heater kept us warm. The hot tub was a great feature, but it did take 4 hours to heat up, not 1.5 as stated in the instructions. It was very cold which probably played a role though. Some lights still worked during load shedding and there was a small gas stove for use during load shedding, which was all useful. There was a bottle of Courchevel rosé in the fridge which we enjoyed!

    The cabin was neat and tidy and very cosy. The wood fired hot tub was also very nice. However the studio apartment was a bit close to the main house, much closer than one would expect...and did take away the feeling of having privacy. The other units might be better than the studio.

    Tranquil and secluded location with exceptional views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for self catering, with a great BBQ and outdoor fire pit, log burning hot tub and open fireplace in the lounge. The outdoor sitting area is spacious and enjoyable to take in the views, see the horses in the paddock and watch the sunset. Conveniently located to Franschhoek for the amenities and great restaurants. Did enjoy the excellent rose from the vineyard too.
