Galleries and antique shops fill the tree-lined streets, and vineyards established more than 300 years ago cascade over the hills just outside town.

When you're not enjoying the wine, why not take a dip in the main outdoor heated swimming pool or relax at the Mont Rochelle Spa with a spa treatment or Hammam.

Thank you for a super special stay, La Fontaine. Kim was an absolute pleasure when making the reservation and hosting us for a celebratory night away from home. Cecilia welcomed us at the car and was always around with a bright smile and accommodating manner. Every details was thought of in the rooms. When we returned to our room after dinner in town, our fire place was lit and room was lovely and cozy. Great linen and in- room amenities. Friendly staff all around. Breakfast the next morning was a beautiful continental buffet and my selection of hot breakfast, Blue Cheese Tartine, is something to return for. Thank you Chef Ashley. I can highly recommend this amazing boutique hotel in the heart of Franschhoek.

A paragon of hospitality- orangery breakfast and pre dinner drinks delightful- and nicely quirkily decorated. A great base for the wine tram and the great restaurants of Franschhoek. June (in Covid times) was an ideal time to visit- very few tourists.

Overall I would rate this guest house highly. The location to town was great, the staff were very attentive and eager to please. My request for laundry to be done was accommodated in a very timely manner.Breakfast was excellent with good choices. Room was a nice size; bed was fairly comfortable but the pillows could be improved and the shower pressure wasn’t great. We would definitely stay here again if in Franschhoek.

It was our second time in Franschhoek and second time at Maison Chablis. The B&B is perfectly located and everyone is very helpful, friendly and accommodating. James and Elsje were always eager to share their know how to make our stay as incredible as possible. The breakfast is AH-MAZING too! All freshly made and cooked breakfast made upon your request. They clearly take pride in showcasing local produce and you can taste the quality! The assistance with recommending and booking our dinner restaurants meant we always felt safe, well looked after, enjoyed our meal times and were spoilt all around. We know we will be back, we just cannot wait when!
