Overall Ratings & Reviews L'ermitage - Franschhoek Chateau & Villas

Amazing Hospitality

Nice property, old facilities and too far from center of the cute town. You'll need a car or uber to get to restaurants, shopping and bars

Very safe and friendly staff

The property is simply stunning. It’s so charming and the staff are wonderful. It’s a 20 min walk from the Main Street in Franschoek or a few pounds in an Uber. Don’t use the recommended car service from the hotel as it was 3 x more expensive than an Uber. Out toom eas lovely with a small kitchen are and separate dressing room and bathroom with both a huge bath and a separate shower. The buffet breakfast was lovely and the views even better!

I can't say enough how friendly and accommodating the staff were. We were a large party (9 people) and they arranged a last minute restaurant reservation and transport for us without any hesitation on a busy evening. Also, the location and the resort itself were breathtaking and their pictures don't do it justice. Will definitely be returning.

We drove 6 hours to have a girls spoil weekend and when we arrived the WiFi and the hot water were not working. We didn’t have hot water until the next morning 9am.

Sold this room with zero electricity.

the accomodation was ok as always, but the breakfast was an absolute disgrace. Very poor service, being told we had to pay for hollandaise sauce as only buffet available, the food was cold, had to grab staff as they just left us, sat there for 20 mins before being attended to, dirty tables, cold coffee, asked 2 people for hp or tomato sauce, never got - very disappointed, we did this as a present for a wedding anniversary, and was left very underwhelmed. We have to consider if to book with you again, we have been a long term customer of yours and this time was totally let down, even though we paid more than twice as much as normal as high season. The restaurant was not busy, no glasses for orange juice, the juice was empty anyway but besides the point, the staff didn't have uniforms, apart from one guy, dirty t-shirts, most of the staff looked like they just woke up in last nights clothes. Very unprofessional. Very disappointed with the stay if we have to be honest. Your standards have really dropped in the last 12 months.

Amazing little place slightly off the beaten track in Franschoek, but worth it. Had an beautiful villa with amazing staff who couldn’t have been more friendly… would recommend to everyone!

The property is beautiful and room amazing. The town center and restaurants are an easy drive away. The only small negative was the light pollution in our room which faced the road. It would be better to take a lake view room. All in all a wonderful stay.

I made a booking at this hotel for a weekend away with friends and it was fantastic. The room was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose to have breakfast included in the stay which was delicious and abundant. Tucked under the mountains, the villa's made us feel like we were in our own little French Village. The hotel is slightly outside of the main street of Franschhoek, so it helped that we had our own car for easy access in and out of town.

Excellent property for a luxury get away

We read very average reviews on this hotel but we’re pleAsantly surprised. Rooms were clean staff were friendly and breakfasts were fine

Our stay was amazing - Gavin and his staff were amazing all requests were attended to and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you

Was good over all. Breakfast was disappointing. Service and staff all good and friendly

This was one of the most amazing places we stayed at . The 360 degree views from our apartment were unbelievable and the staff were so friendly and helpful .. we didn’t feel like leaving at the end of our stay ! Would definitely return if we were I. Franschoek again .

Beautiful villa with an amazing view of the lake and mountains. Very spacious and clean.

Was advertised as a room with a bath and separate shower but there was only a shower. Not a huge disappointment but bot what was advertised.

The furniture outside needs attention

The villa was lovely, however couple of small issues - the light switches are electronic and incredibly bright, so disrupt your sleep. Phone to reception wasn’t working which was somewhat frustrating. The pool we were slightly disappointed with, it was small for the number of people staying on the estate so there was rarely any room.
