Robert
Ashbourne House was such a great find on Franschhoek, it was close to restaurants. Our room was very spacious and clean. Parking was just off the street but seemed secure. Breakfast was delicious with good choices from the menu. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the guest house, they had thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We loved the selection of snacks, cake etc that was available to help yourself in the dining area. So good when you came back after a days wine tasting to have a snack before going out to dinner.
Robyn
This property is located very close the wine tram station, restaurants and shops. The breakfast was delicious, room was large and staff super friendly
Peter
Wonderful hotel in beautiful Franschhoek, excellent breakfasts on the terrace, very large and comfortable bedroom. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice gardens with a swimming pool.
Gregory
Warm welcome, clean spacious room and great communal areas. We would highly recommend a stay.
Kay
Very comfortable room, lovely breakfast and great staff. Would definitely stay there again.
Margaret
Beautiful room, good sized and complete with a small fridge. Very clean, but the mattress was a bit hammock-like. Breakfast was wonderful - delicious and lots of fresh fruit! Beautiful pool area, but so many ants on the lounges we got several bites.
Amy
Cannot fault a thing. The room was gorgeous, the customer service from Cindy and the team was excellent and as a solo female traveller I felt very safe
Jonathan
Staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. Can’t recommend highly enough. Rooms very clean and well appointed
Louisa
More of a small boutique hotel than a guest house: spacious and well-appointed rooms; lively courtyard garden; delicious breakfast and great staff.
George
Exceptional place to stay. Room was superb, breakfasts were great and the location was perfect. The coffee/tea and cakes in the afternoon was a treat. The staff were lovely.
Ian
This place is an absolute gem and would recommend it to all including friends and family.
The location is very convenient for restaurants, shops, wineries and everything else.
The property is very quaint with superb decor with wonderful little touches - like homemade treats, complimentary drinks. The staff are all very helpful and can't do enough for you.
The breakfasts are very tasty and varied, to set you up for the day!!
Will definitely return when next in Franschook.

Lovely place to stay. The room was beautiful, clean and had everything we need. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It’s an ideal location from the centre of the town and easy access to the wine tram. We would definitely stay here again.
Michael
Be very careful the property is not maintained and the outside area is extremely dirty .
The pool was so murky you couldn’t see the bottom , the staff blamed the wind but it was certainly a lot more than wind causing the dirt and debris around the property .
Maintenance is a major problem for them .
The manager cindy promised a refund for our last night when we decided to check out early due to the problems, two months later I am still waiting .
There is plenty more Places to chose from , I would avoid this place at all cost

Short & easy walk to Franschhoek where you can find restaurants & shopping.
This little gem is a clean and well cared for property, the pool was great for cooling off after a hot day. The managers were welcoming and very helpful. Breakfasts were delicious, large selection of foods and hot breakfast items.

A great, welcoming place to stay
We were well looked after from the moment we arrived, Cindy, Courtney and the Team were just superb and we know of no other place we would stay when holidaying in Franschhoek, thank you very, very much
Natasha
The guesthouse is gorgeous, our room was lovely, spacious and immaculate. Check in was easy and the hotel staff were lovely and accommodating! Great location for the tram and walking into the town. Highly recommend!
Shereen
Ashbourne made us feel like houseguests. The intimate setting and staff made for a peaceful stay. Note that check-in is from 3-6pm.

Outstanding service from Cindy & Courtney & the perfect place to stay for the last 2 nights of our holiday. It's a beautifully decorated, peaceful place to stay & the breakfast was beautiful. Do not hesitate in booking this gem of a place!

Very nice guesthouse- nice generous room with patio and great breakfast. Reception very helpful
Robert
A beautiful guest house a stones throw from the main strip in Franschhoek. The ladies couldn’t be more welcoming, and the breakfast the next day was excellent with both hot and cold options. Would highly recommend.
Laura
We had an amazing stay at Ashbourne Guest House! Courtney and Cindy greeted us with a glass of wine and made us feel at home right away. The room was very spacious and clean. The fridge was stocked with many different choices and there were snacks available in the room too (both for purchase). Breakfast in the morning is freshly made baked goods, fruits, meats, cheeses and a full hot menu to choose from (including dim sum of all things!). The B&B is walking distance to both the main street and the wine tram. It’s safe at night and load shedding wasn’t an issue as they have generators. We stayed in the poolside room and would recommend anyone stay there. It’s a very peaceful and quiet B&B.

Great Location, easy walking distance to main street
Mary
A perfect retreat
We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous boutique hotel right in Franschhoek. The staff was so lovely and friendly, helped with reservations and recommendations for the area. The laid out breakfast was fantastic too. Comfy and cosy beds - we could have stayed in there nice and warm for ages!
Colin
Modern facilities within a charming property, with retained period features. Perfect location, in a quiet street with a very short walk to all the shops & restaurants. Outstanding staff. Wonderful food & drink. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Stephen
The suite was very comfortable with a good size bedroom and nice sitting room. Breakfast was very good with a variety of food options. The location is on a quiet street but still very close to the main street in town. The staff was very helpful and the owner present on site. He was able to give us advice on a nice wine farm walking tour and suggestions for travel to our next stop. We indefinitely will stay here again on our next trip to Franschhoek.
Kate
Stunning guest house with amazing service
Amazing place to stay, rooms are beautifully decorated with art and furniture. The personal level of service was exceptional, this was our favourite place to stay on our 2 week trip in SA. The guest house is perfectly located a brief 5 min walk from the town, which has lots of lovely independent restaurants and shops. We have already recommended to friends and family, and will definitely be back!
Pavel

Absolute gem of a place
This is a gem of a place. Very close to centre. The rooms are simply stunning. Most comfortable bed so far on our trip. The breakfasts served on the Terrace are amazing. Tim and his wife couldnt be more welcoming. A lazy afternoon round the pool was greatly appreciated and we were brought complimentary glass of wine. Nice touch.
Maria
Great stay!! Friendly hosts, very accommodating. Staff are exceptional at service. Views are incredible. Highly recommended.
Small drawback is that parking, although safe, is outdoors.

Lovely stay for 2 nights at Ashbourne. There was a hiccup on check in as the room we had booked was occupied, however the staff were quick to show us what other rooms were available, including offering to upgrade. We picked a room by the pool which was fresh and spacious. The pool area was beautiful and has a view to the mountains! Breakfast was excellent with a cold buffet and hot options made to order. Easy and quick to walk into the centre of Franschhoek. We would definitely stay here again!
Verified traveler
Great location, lovely guest house with a great team led by Tim and Nadine. They really couldn't do enough for us! Tim's restaurant recommendations were fantastic. Our suite was large but cosy, bright, clean, private and well stocked. There was a lovely leafy garden and pool area to relax with a glass of wine. Other highlights include onsite parking, great breakfast and bikes to hire. We were only a short walk from the town's shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. We'd highly recommend Ashbourne House to other couples, singles and small groups
Verified traveler
Owners very helpful and great recommendations for restaurants and wine farms.
Kevin
Lovely guest house, comfortable and great location
A lovely get house with high quality rooms within a short walk of the town centre. The staff and owners were lovely, very helpful and friendly. The pool area and garden were well kept with ample parking. Breakfast was lovely on the porch with a wide selection and delicious omelettes. i would highly recommend and will stay again.

Beautiful bed and breakfast with very helpful and friendly owners
Verified traveler
This place is a gem. Super smart, enormous room with beautiful furniture. Attention to detail is faultless. Really friendly hosts, relaxed and had a nice chat, lots of information at hand if you need it, none of it is foisted on you if you don't. Offered a glass of wine by the pool which was a lovely touch. Honesty bar in the room. Beautiful pool area - even better than the photographs. Breakfast was excellent. Our only regret is we only stayed one night, we wished we could have stayed longer.

It was a nice hotel. Definitely I will recommend it to my friends.

Relax Tim!
Franschhoek itself was beautiful, stunning scenery and a really relaxed place.
Our upstairs room at Ashbourne House was lovely and the staff were friendly, however we did not appreciate being ‘told off’ by the owner Tim for missing a dinner reservation - it was not intentional, it was our anniversary (they didn’t even acknowledge it despite being told on booking) and we were doing the wine tram (enough said), that made us feel quite uncomfortable for the rest of our stay.
The milk in the room fridge was off and not replaced the whole stay and stank (looked more like bubbling yoghurt).
The ‘designer’ toiletries were really not designer at all and the same disfigured plastic bottle was filled each day.
The place was comfortable though and the breakfast was adequate and there was a log fire burning in the breakfast room which was nice.
Some of the guests had their cars broken into while parked there, so something to be aware of if you are driving.

Highlight of our African vacation!
Amazing stay. We were warmly greeted, given advice on touring and reservations made at amazing restaurants, and shown to our spacious, comfortable room. Lots of amenities, breakfast was top notch, service was incredible. We would have stayed longer if they had room,and look forward to revisiting. Thank you to our wonderful hosts Tim and Nadine!!!!

Just excellent
Beautiful, comfortable, spacious room. Perfect location on a quiet side street a couple of minutes walk from the main street in Franschoek, and a short drive from all the wineries. Pleasant staff and owners, great breakfast on the porch with a beautiful view. Excellent. Wish we had stayed longer.
Barbara
Beautiful characterful home in Franschhoek village
An absolutely beautiful guesthouse with generous and luxurious rooms. The attention to detail and generosity of the owners and their staff really stood out - from free gourmet chocolates, home made cakes and fresh coffee in the room to advice and help booking restaurants and wine lands tours. The breakfast is excellent too - I loved my smoked trout scrambled eggs on the patio. Just make sure you arrive by 6pm...we didn’t realise reception closed and kept the lovely staff waiting and felt bad!

Tim and His wife have done a great job. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Breakfast was wonderful as was the service and overall ambience of the guest house. Very clean and beautiful.

Charming boutique style mini-hotel in ideal location. The German owner/managers are not only highly efficient but show a real interest in ensuring their guests make the most of their time in Franschhoeck.

Lovely guest house. Ideal location for walking into town to visit shops and restaurants. Comfy beds, clean rooms, lovely friendly staff.
Our room was by the pool which meant that it could be a bit noisy at times from other guests so if you want peace and quiet, then ask for a room away from the pool area.

Ashbourne House is very nice and run by a young German couple, who are very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of attention to detail, which is important in a guesthouse. Breakfasts were excellent - room comfortable and clean. Walking distance to town and quiet at night. Choose number 1 if you can and you have your own private table for breakfast on the terrace. My only gripe was in this beautifully tiled modern bathroom they had cheap plastic toilet seats that move where you don't want them to. But highly recommended.

The best in town!
Amazing two nights as we visited wine country, impeccable hosts Tim & Nadine with a two course breakfast every morning prepared to your liking with 6 options on the menu. Took great care in making us at home with a home made limoncello at arrival and the homemade lemon marmalade was uber tasty in the morning!

Perfect choice for a Franschhoek Trip!
Picked Ashbourne House for a 1 night stay in Franschhoek whilst travelling on my own. Great location with easy 5 minute walk into the main part of this quaint little town. Very warm and friendly welcome from Tim and Nadine with great local knowledge and willingness to help with restaurant recommendations and winery tour bookings. The rooms all very good standard with ample living space. They've put lots of nice touches to the rooms to make the stay feel a home from home including fresh milk for tea (a welcome treat!). Wifi works extremely wel and beautiful en suite bathroom facilities. They provide one of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever had in the Western Cape - the breakfast muffins are divine! Excellent value for money.
