Very quaint place, well-situated in Franschoek. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. The staff are very professional and friendly and the breakfast was very nice. They really made us feel at home and the wine tasting tour they recommended was fantastic! Highly recommend it.

It's hard to imagine a better place to stay in Franschhoek. Hosts Jessica and Roger were friendly and helpful and our room was spacious and beautifully furnished. The breakfast, served in the pleasantly rustic dining room with open-plan kitchen, was varied and plentiful with hot items fresh cooked to order. Rusthof is ideally located towards one end of the town's... More

We recently stayed in Franschhoek as part of our honeymoon and were recommended to stay at the Rusthof while in the area. What a beautiful B&B. We had an amazing room and both Vanessa and Roger were a great help with directions and dinner suggestions through out stay. Perfectly located in town. We highly recommend and hope to return again...

We have had 4.extremely enjoyable nights at the Rusthof Country House. It is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Our bedroom was luxurious, and we made good use of our well furnished private terrace. The staff could not be more friendly, efficient and helpful; tables were reserved, drivers booked, and a wine tasting organised. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within... More

Spent 1 night here after a few days in Cape Town to get a taste of the Winelands. Very welcoming, excellent situation in the town but beautifully peaceful. Our room (6) was tastefully furnished with large bathroom and looked onto a pretty courtyard and garden. Small pool which was "refreshing". A table for dinner was reserved for us by the... More

A beautifully kept guest house in the centre of town. Easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. The rooms are well kept and ours had an amazingly large bathroom with separate shower. Small little pool but you'll be so busy in town you won't need it. Excellent service and run by a lovely hands on lady, Ruth.

We stayed for three nights with some friends, and the rooms were immaculate and so very comfortable, I would have been quite happy to stay there and read instead of exploring the winelands. The staff could not have been more helpful, and if we are ever lucky enough to visit SA again, we will be sure to visit again.
