We are a couple visiting Franschhoek for the first time, and our stay at L’Auberge Chanteclair was truly unforgettable. We chose this hotel for its ideal location—just a short distance from the village centre, yet perfectly tucked away in a quiet and peaceful setting. We visited at the end of April and found the atmosphere serene, with only a few guests, which made our stay even more intimate. Our room was beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated, offering a warm, romantic ambiance. One of the highlights was having direct access to the main terrace, where we enjoyed a glass of wine while taking in the breathtaking mountain views in complete tranquility. Alan and Yvonne were wonderful hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast each morning was simply amazing—fresh, generous, and delicious. It alone is worth staying for! Alan also shared fantastic tips on local places to visit, helping us make the most of our time in the region. Thank you, Alan and Yvonne, for making our stay so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Franschhoek!

The property itself is such a natural wonder with an amazing location - just a quick walk away from Franschhoek town center. The manager, Allan, provided us with many many amazing suggestions. Looking forward to our next visit! :)

We had such a wonderful stay with Allan and Yvonne in Franchoek! The grounds and gardens were beautiful, such a lovely setting for chilling by the pool in the afternoon, and it was great being able to walk into town. The cottage we stayed in was peaceful and clean. Breakfasts were a real highlight - we loved the scrambled egg with smoked trout! Allan was a brilliant host, giving us tips on things to do in the area and even planning our road trip to Cape Town for us with some amazing stops on the way!

I liked everything about it.

The hosts were so helpful and friendly. The setting is amazing, with fabulous views of the vineyards and mountains. The breakfasts were so good, best fruit combinations, yogurt, homemade granola I’ve ever had. We stayed in a really cute cottage with our own veranda, near the lovely pool.

What a beautiful, friendly and perfectly located hotel! Chanteclair is a small vineyard and orchard, set in the most beautiful location surrounded by mountains, 5 minutes drive from Franschoek. The gardens are beautiful and our room was comfortable and clean. Alan, Yvonne and the team were wonderful hosts and made us feel completely at home. Breakfast on the terrace was perfect. What a wonderful stay: would definitely recommend.

Second time staying at l’Auberge Chanteclair and I can say the this place doesn’t disappoint at all! Everything is always perfect. I am obsessed with the mountains views. The tranquility. The breakfast is beyond words, with homemade food. The staff is super friendly. Yvonne and Allan (the owners) are so kind and give the best advice! They know Franschoek as if they made it - and also give recommendation for other cities in the country. I will come back again and again!

Lack of AC can be a bit uncomfortable in the summer days. Booking mentioned a bath and it was only a shower.

The homely feeling and lovely owners that were very involved! We felt really welcome! The breakfast is all home made and delicious and the villa is very spacious! Amazing views and grounds!

So full of character, beautiful surroundings - gardens manicured and terraces well looked after so pretty to look out at! The property is also in a fantastic location, just a short walk into the village with amazing views. The pool setting is serene and great to come back and relax around after a busy day exploring. The cottage we stayed in was pristine and the bed was extremely comfy. Allan, Yvonne and the team were so welcoming and attentive, helped to plan our visits to the local vineyards and restaurants. Plus breakfast was absolutely incredible!

Allan and Yvonne were both extremely welcoming and friendly. We stayed as part of our honeymoon and on arrival there was a gift of champagne in our bedroom. Such a nice touch. Lovely breakfast each morning too. Thank you both for such a comfortable stay.

Breakfast was superb. The property is set in a beautiful area and the grounds are really well kept/maintained. Allan and Yvonne are exceptional hosts who made our stay so enjoyable. The Studio apartment was perfect with a really comfy bed and plenty of room. Their own wines are also really good ! An easy short walk into town.

Superb setting, views and gardens, excellent clean rooms and facilities, staff and managers were very attentive. Overall one of the beat places I have stayed in for a long time.

The rooms are fairly simple and are on the smaller side. The bathrooms are also slightly outdated. Everything functioned fine in the rooms but I would say the communal areas and grounds are the main attraction.

We had an amazing stay at this property. The views are exceptional and the staff and hospitality we experienced were incredible. Alan in particular was so welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. The breakfasts they put on are amazing, fresh juices, amazing homemade cereals and cooked breakfasts. The coffee was also amazing. I would throughly recommend this property.
