The last night of our three weeks in South Africa was decidedly the worst - memorable only for the absence of what we'd enjoyed everywhere else. No tea, no milk, no hairdryer, no top sheet, no security, no internet (so couldn't do advance seat bookings for flight home) and over-priced at R700 for a couple. The cottage was very 1950s... More

Chamonix was recommended to us in Cape Town. We did not know what to expect and were simply amazed. Arriving late, we received a key at the main gate and had to find our cottage somewhere up the mountain driving through the wine fields. Everything was dark but the cottage was great: Enormous room, typical decoration with big leather sofas,... More

Quiet, quaint, and safe cottages in a nice setting. Our cottage, Cabernet, had everything we needed for a self contained unit. But, it just felt a bit tired and had obviously not been given the care and attention that a non commercial establishment is given. Still, it had lots of room, a nice verandah, and everything worked. It was also... More

After a really challenging week camping in the Northern Cape and Kgalagadi Park, it was so nice to arrive in Franschoek and spend some time relaxing in the Troika cottage at Chamonix. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and the culinary experiences at the winery and at the incredible restaurants and bistros in town were a real treat after... More

We, 3 students, stayed in the 4 person cottage (white, green roof) as presented in the pictures. We had the second cottage in the first row. There weren't any visitors in the other cottages, not that we've noticed in any case. We had done some shopping for a braai and as we arrived, we immediately started the fire. The terrace,... More

Warning to everyone planning a visit to the Cape wine route, especially if you plan to visit the picturesque town of Franschhoek. Avoid any dealings with Chamonix Wine Farm, you will only be bitterly disappointed and out of pocket! Planning our company's annual conference we decided to treat our hardworking staff to a tranquil stay at a wine farm on... More

A friend told us about the Chamonix cottages and while making traveling arrangements I decided to do some research on the place, the pictures that I found on the internet seemed very nice and I decided to call and enquire. The lady at reception was very helpful and I decided to book a cottage for 2 people, upon arrival, the... More

Stay here for the views and the location right next to the heart of Franschhoek, but don't expect luxury at this price. A large group of us stayed in Chamonix for a birthday celebration over 3 nights, taking over quite a few cottages. The views from the property are really beautiful as you are on the side of the valley... More

We recently stayed at Chamonix cottages over the Bastille Festival weekend. We have attended Bastille weekend for 4 years in a row and have stayed at a different place each time. The cottage we were allocated was very badly equipped and certainly not as per the website description. We had one small pot and one tiny frying pan, 3 mugs,... More

We wanted to stay in Chamonix for one day but for the reason it was so awesome we stayed for three nights. We had a small & nice & tidy cottage, nice veranda with a beautiful view. Braai, firewood and everything was there - even a big salad bowl. It was maybe a little basic but we can not understand... More
