    Load shedding, but this is out of their hands.

    Breakfast was always good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is located in a lovely spot and has recently extended the dining area since our last visit and this is a great improvement. Work is currently going on to expand the rooms but although there are workman on site it didn’t impact on our week stay. We would recommend you to stay.

    The carpets in the room need to be cleaned. The outflow from the shower was blocked.

    The room was lovely and comfortable. The view was amazing. It is our third time staying at Lavender Farm.

    There were some communication issues at the beginning of the trip. We were taken to a room that we had not booked (One without a bath after we specifically asked for a bath). The staff informed us that our room was available but the DSTV was not working. As this was not something we were concerned about, we went to the correctly booked room. What the staff did not mention is there was a branch that needed to be cut. With the wind on the first night, my wife couldn't sleep as the branch was scraping loudly on the roof. I asked the next morning the owner to please take care of this and when we arrived in the evening it was taken care of.

    The Breakfast Vouchers for Cafe du Vin was a sufficient solution for the breakfast not running at Lavender Farm. The room was made up each day. The response to any complaints was dealt with in a timely fashion. The farm was beautiful and lovely to walk through.

    We thought there was a breakfast buffet, as advertised, however it was a voucher for 250 Rand (for two people) at a cafe in town. There was a big construction going on on the property and workers started at 8am.

    Cleanliness, location.

    The lavender field, the pool and the rooms were super unique and unbelievably beautiful. The farm is really close to Franschhoek center and the wine tram, so the location is perfect, if you plan a visit there.

    They are busy with renovations, so a liitle bit of noise. Also, because of the renovations, you had to drive into town for breakfast.

    I had an overall great stay. It was my 3rd time back and it will for sure not be my last time. Clean room, staff friendly and helpful, beautiful views and a beautiful room.

    Nothing really.

    We were very impressed and we had a wonderful stay. It was rather cold outside but the room was comfortably heated and as they were renovating they gave us breakfast vouchers at a small cost restaurant around the corner.

    It would have been helpful to know about the renovations before we arrived (the breakfast room is under renovations as are a few rooms) - this wasn't a train smash as they provided a voucher to a cute cafe in town for breakfast. Little touches would take this place from good to GREAT, IE: its a lavender farm, so why not put a few lavender sprigs on the pillow for turn down? Or in the Bathroom? In addition - they will need to sort out back up power. We weren't affected thankfully, but I know it wouldn't have been great if the only power source we had during load shedding was a magneto battery light.

    Incredibly beautiful property with well designed and laid out rooms. Incredible views across both the little dam and the mountains. Very comfortable beds.

    Unfortunately we weren’t informed that there was upgrading happening during our stay (this is understandable during winter as there is no other time to do so), so we couldn’t appreciate the entire experience but look forward to returning when the upgrades are complete.

    beautifully and luxuriously appointed rooms, great attention to detail.

    Breakfast service was a bit unco-ordinated and slow. We were ignored for a while and had to catch somebody's attention to get coffee and then the hot breakfast my husband ordered - an omelette - took ages to arrive.

    Very comfortable accommodation, a gracious large bathroom with shower and bath tub, and the beautiful and peaceful location so close to centre of Franschhoek town. I left my cell phone charger behind and I was called back a day later to let me know it had been found by housekeeping - professional and helpful!
