    Absolutely amazing weekend! Jonathan was the perfect host, he made us feel right at home. We loved the cottage, very cosy with a stunning view of the mountains. Canoeing on the dam was an added bonus. The cottage was squeeky clean and the beds and pillows extra comfy. Thank you for a lovely weekend, we will be back soon!

    Personal attention and direction from the friendly host. Warm welcome with an introduction to the absinthe and wine produced on the farm. Close proximity to the main hub of Franschoek. Literally 5 minutes drive to Main Rd Franschoek.

    Our stay at La Vedure Fruit Farm was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the warmth and hospitality of our hosts, who truly were the shining stars of our entire trip. The cottage itself was a cozy haven nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil sounds of the countryside, we found ourselves instantly transported to a place of peace and serenity. The privacy afforded by the secluded location only added to the charm of our stay, allowing us to fully unwind and reconnect with ourselves. But what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional care and attention provided by our hosts. From their thoughtful recommendations for local attractions to their genuine warmth and generosity, they went above and beyond to ensure that our every need was met. In short, La Vedure Fruit Farm is more than just a place to stay – it's a destination unto itself, where the beauty of nature meets the warmth of human connection. We cannot recommend it highly enough and cannot wait to return for another unforgettable getaway.

    Cottage a bit dated but adequate.

    If you prefer to stay out of town then this provides peace and relaxation. I suggest the cottage on the lake, beautiful views. Enjoyed swimming and fishing. Very friendly helpful hosts. Solar powered so no load shedding.

    Really cute cottages in a stunning, beautiful part of F'hoek. It is a very easy short drive into town. The cottage was well-appointed with all the necessities and the Nespresso machine was a welcome surprise after weeks of instant coffee. The bed was very comfy and - despite the heat during the day - there was an amazing breeze at night and lack of A/C was not an issue at all. We never lost power during loadshedding either. We loved the views of the plum trees, the mountains, and the night sky. The lake/pond was a delight and family & friends enjoyed kayaking and swimming. I wish we stayed another day or two - it was too short!

    Wonderful little cottage on a working fruit farm. Peace and quiet with exceptional view on the mountains. Fully equipped for a self catering holiday. Centrally situated to explore all of Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch. Thank you Jonathan for your hospitality and friendly conversations. Unit was serviced daily during weekdays.

    The kitchen was extremely "hotch potch" there were no matching plates, shortage of bowls, no decent glasses. The cutlery was the same, very disappointing. The bathroom shower rose was desperate, spraying everywhere with very little water pressure. I do believe for the price we paid it was a bit rundown and shabby. Could do with modernisation.

    I loved the location on a Fruit Farm with beautiful mountain views, as well as close proximity to all the wine farms and restaurants and shops in Franschoek.
