Akademie Street Boutique Hotel

"From the moment we were welcomed into Akademie Street Guest House, we felt relaxed. We were able to be as private as we liked, and felt warmly included when we went to breakfast (which was beautifully made with a delicious selection of fresh herbs in the omelette). The facilities in the stunningly furnished and spacious room left us wanting for nothing. We only wish that we had been able to stay longer."

"This is a great place with incredible service and perfect breakfasts! It is located a five-minute walk from the shops and restaurants. I highly recommend it."

"Gelatenheid is the perfect place to stay in Franschhoek. It is warm, spacious, comfortable and very private. The attentive and friendly staff will make sure you find it hard to leave."

"The guest house and the room we stayed has an exquisite atmosphere. Fantastic breakfast. Walking distance to the main Franschhoek road where you have access to very good restaurants. Very interesting and friendly hosts - Katherine and Arthur"

"We enjoyed our stay- it is a great place and we would go back! Andrew and Katherine are great hosts - nothing was too much trouble and the breakfasts were the best ever! Their staff are lovely and everything was spotless. We were also most impressed with your service and to have directions sent to us on the day of our arrival was just amazing so thank you very much and we will definitely use you again if we return to South Africa!!"

We were surprised and delighted to find free mini bar, snacks and fruit provided each day.Arthur and Katherine are perfect hosts and their attention to detail is outstanding.We can wholeheartedly recommend "Akademie Street".You will not be disappointed."
