N/A

Everything about this property was incredible. The hosts were so interesting to chat to and gave us a lot of information about Franschhoek. Conveniently located across the road and one street up from the Wine Tram. The garden is a beautiful setting with citrus trees and a cute little corner to catch the afternoon sun if you're having a relaxing day. The breakfasts are definitely worth a mention, a lovely selection of fresh fruit and cereal and with further freshly prepared dishes such as pastries, french toast, scrambled egg bagels, or whatever else is on the menu that day! Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone going to Franschhoek and I will certainly be back on my next visit!

Nothing to complain about - it was amazing!

The hosts were absolutely amazing! They went over and above to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was better than most restaurants, and being locals, we didn't feel the level of care differed from what overseas guests would experience. We would definitely stay there again!

Property is cash only. This was resolved with ease on arrival using a debit app but would have preferred to have option to pay with credit card.

Charming and very comfortable cottage in back garden of the hosts’ house. Excellent and varied breakfast. Appreciated the nespresso machine and fridge in the room. Location on outskirts of Franschhoek but only 10 min walk to centre. We felt safe walking this route day and evening after dark. Street parking was easy.

Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. So i can't really think of anything we didn't like.

Erna and Guido shared their lovely home in Franschhoek with us. The two rooms are in the garden of their house, where we also had breakfast on the first day (where the weather was permitting). They take care of us themselves and served us an incredible breakfast with a changing surprise of the day. Putting so much passion and effort for only two rooms shows how they live their Guesthouse. Definitely a recommendation and we look forward to come back again soon.

There was a crocodile in the pool! (ok it was plastic..ha, ha) Truthfully nothing..

Guido and Erna are superb welcoming hosts, they have created such an easy going but professional vibe. The room we had was so comfortable and very stylish every thing you would need, The breakfasts are fantastic freshly prepared and every morning there is a surprise. They are amongst the best we have experienced not only in the Cape but anywhere!

The room was spacious, well appointed and had a lovely garden to sit and relax in. It was very close to an array of shops and restaurants. Both the owners are delightful and very helpful when we had a problem.

Communication. Because the only number on the Booking .com site was to the land line; no answer went to straight to asking me to leave a message which I did. I did send an email which was responded to very quickly. Also, Erna kindly emailed me the day of our arrival saying our room would be ready & we would be met by Chrissy. A cell phone number would have been useful on the site as an alternative back up.

Just delicious. The personal touches that Erna did with the little flowers on the food, mint in the water, table decorations, etc etc nothing was too much trouble. The cooked breakfast was always a surprise & delicious. Guido was also a very good host with chatting to us & the other guests & fixing of lights in our bathroom as the bulb had blown. Our room was lovely, extremely relaxing, beautifully clean excellent linen & an extremely comfortable bed. A lovely view out to the pretty garden. We will certainly be going back.

Nothing!

The cottages were absolutely delightful, so beautifully presented and the breakfasts were delicious!

There was a weather bomb while staying and although Erna and Guido had a flooded business downtown and a flooded garage at their house they were so careful to ensure our needs for food and drink and ongoing travel arrangements were all met. Such lovely caring and friendly people and the breakfasts were amazing.

We had an incredible stay at the Cottage on 55! We ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much. Guido and Erna were exceptionally thoughtful hosts and Erna’s breakfasts were out of this world!! The location of the property was walking distance to the best restaurants and the wine tram, and Guido and Erna offered many great recommendations for the area. We couldn’t recommend the Cottage on 55 more!!
