Charming place with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was great, staff helped us with recommendations, packing wine bottles, arranging transport. Beds were comfy and room was quiet. Nice lounge area where we could hang out for a bit after check out. Would definitely stay here again.

Happy We Chose La Fontaine

The friendly staff helped make this a spectacular stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the town and wineries. The location was excellent and the beds were great. We didn't try it, but we were told one of the swimming pools was bathtub warm.

Fantastic

We had an amazing experience here, we have never encountered such wonderfully helpful staff, nothing was too much for them. It was like the staff owned the hotel as they took such attention to every detail. They were the warmest and happy staff that we have come across. Kim the manager was so engaging and helpful in every way. Very Highly recommend La Fontaine

A gem of a find. Truly fabulous welcome. It has a real rustic charm but with all modern amenity. Great location in centre of Franschoek. Could not recommend it highly enough.

A great new find.

Our first time at La Fontaine and it didn’t disappoint. In fact it exceeded expectation. The staff were excellent. Very attentive and interested in all their guests. The breakfasts offered a great choice and were very good. The. Bedroom was very comfortable, albeit an extractor fan in the bathroom would be a good addition. The communal areas were welcoming and very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Superb property with incredible staff

I almost never leave a review but I couldn’t ignore this place. The property is very nice but what truly makes this outstanding is the staff, and really at all levels. From how we could park early in the morning to only check in in the afternoon, to how our little note about vegan breakfast if possible was fully noted with multiple options provided! You feel like a regular guest in a small caring hotel.

A true gem. This is my new go-to place for the first (and second) night in Cape Town. Most international flights arrive in the early morning and commercial downtown hotels do not let you check in before 3 pm. Most of us are exhausted. So make your way to Franschhoek against traffic and stop at some wineries on the way. Then rest at La Fontaine. Many fine restaurants within 0.5 miles. Lovely breakfast and exceptional service.
