    Only real issue was that after heavy rain one day lots of flies appeared. Coming from the brook and surrounding farmland. Only lasted for a couple of days but was a bit of a nuisance.

    Beautiful outlook over the brook from veranda. Peace and quiet. Safe area. 15 minutes pleasant walk down to village. Village is pleasant and safe. Lovely market. Lots of restaurants. Wine tram is a must.

    In this day and age we all need to actively practice recycling, treading lightly on the planet and giving back to the environment. There was only one bin to collect all waste. I requested an additional bin to at least separate the plastic and recyclable waste. There should ideally also be bins for food waste to go into a bokashi, a bin for compostable vegetable and salad, eggshells waste. The oversized couch was great, but a bit too big for the room to move around easily. As this is a non-smoking cottage I was horrified to find an ash container in the cupboard stinking the cupboard out. I put it outside every day and everyday it was put back in the cupboard. As a non-smoking cottage this disgusting container should not even be there. There is even a sign thanking the visitors for not smoking. The kitchen and bathroom cupboards and units need a little TLC.

    The stunning view across the river and onto the far away mountainside. Lovely! Easy access to the village via car. A walk will take to long. Close to top wine farms. The cottage has lots of space, large separate bedroom, walk-in cupboard and large bathroom with big shower. Lots of cupboard space to stash your goodies. The mini table in the open plan lounge area. The outside table and swimming pool although to cold and wet for us to use for the duration of our stay. Lots of secure parking. Having the cottage serviced every day was a nice touch. Fresh flowers on the table.

    Cannot find much to not like! Perhaps for a poor fire maker, leave some firefighters? 😀

    Beautiful setting, very comfortable- loved the fireplace, loved the view. Will most definitely recommend and return!

    Lovely upmarket flat on the outskirts of the town, thoughtfully laid out and decorated and with everything one needed for a comfortable 2 night stay. We loved the constant sound of the bubbling brooke below and enjoyed the views over the farm fields, and of the mountains overlooking Franschhoek. It's just a few minutes drive into the delightful town and very near to world renowned wine farms and the main Wine Tram terminal. We unfortunately were not able to swim due to the wet and cool weather at the time, and we were out exploring most of the time too...Franschhoek is a gorgeous place with lots to explore.! We highly recommend the Exceptional Wine Tram experience for a spoil. And going up the Franschhoek Pass overlooking the town is breathtaking. Thanks to the host Michelle for a wonderful stay.

    We like the privacy . the beautiful scenery around us. The bird live around the house. The fact that you could hear the water running in the stream. Definitely a place to rest and reflect . Little Willow Brook is definitely a place to revisit ,a little joule.

    Great location. Quaint cottage overlooking a beautiful river and the Franschoek mountains. The deck area is great for relaxing, and the private pool is a great addition to the property. This really is excellent value for money, and has the bonus of being a very private unit. Will definitely stay again when in Franschoek!
