Fantastic choice for a Franschhoek get away... most beautiful location surrounded by vineyards and majestic mountains. Really enjoyed the Holden Manz range of award winning wines and lively tasting room venue. The room was spacious, yet cozy with a fireplace. Breakfast was amazing and staff very professional. Highly recommended!
Judy
Lovely spot just a few minutes drive from Franschoek. Our bedroom was large and well-furnished. The gardens and adjacent vineyard in the shadow of the mountains was lovely. Staff were welcoming and breakfast was good.

The worst hotel we have ever stayed at.
When we arrived it was with incredulity that we were shown to our suite. The room was awful, dirty and lacking in most of the facilities promised. We could not wait to leave.
Colin
We cannot remember having such a pleasant and relaxing break in such beautiful surroundings plus the staff were attentive, kind and professional. An excellent base for exploring the area and they also produce some excellent wines in their own vineyard.

I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights each under my name in November. In January the couple to use the 2nd room had to cancel. I contacted Expedia and Holden Manz and was told I could cancel but would get no refund due to the terms Holden Manz setup with Expedia. Those terms could only be found after booking and paying in full in November for the 2 nights in April. \"We understand that sometimes plans fall through. We do not charge a cancel or
change fee. When the property charges such fees in accordance with its own

The most stunning location, property and hosts
We rented their upstairs suite for the night of and the night before our wedding. We were greeted by their wonderful team and shown around the property with a welcome drink. The property is so thoughtfully designed and the attention to detail to make your stay comfortable and luxurious, is second to none. Frank is an incredible manager and catered to every request. The breakfast, is hands-down the tastiest I have ever had, and would pay to return just for the breakfast!
On my first night, the room had been turned down, gentle music playing and the lighting set to accommodate a peaceful and relaxing nights sleep. The location of Holden Manz itself, is one of Franschhoek's, best kept secrets. It really is a special part of the area. I can highly recommend their Hiro Rose and Chenin Blanc. This is a very special place and worth spending 2 or 3 nights if you can.
I can't wait to return for an anniversary and see the wonderful staff again, drinks delicious wine and support this family run business. I love it and I know any future guests will do too!

Stayed here 2/19/24 through 2/21. Location and property are absolutely beautiful, but unwalkable from downtown Franschhoek, so you'll need a rental car or us their recommended taxi service via Whatsapp if you plan to drink lots of wine. Uber was not reliable in this area. The staff were very nice and the breakfast options were good, but limited. I would highly recommend this location.

Magnificent
We had a truly amazing few days stay at Holden Manz. From start to finish we were treated like royalty, family and most important like friends.
Frank went so above and beyond that it was humbling.
We will return any time we are in Franschhoek and look forward to seeing you all.
Special thanks to Gerard & Migo for welcoming us into their home.

A perfect location!
Our stay stay at Holden Manz Country House was absolutely superb. It was just a pity we couldn't have stayed longer. The location is tranquil and beautiful, the staff super friendly and helpful and the accommodation clean, spacious and well equipped. The wine tasting is not to be missed either! This really is a gem of a find and we'd love to visit again for longer.
It's a short drive into Franschoek which is lovely with many galleries and artisanal shops, good coffee shops and restaurants.

Incredible location with spectacular views and exceptional hospitality. Great value for money.
Ita
The facilities were top notch, great power shower. Rooms (suites) very spacious. Property had great character, extraordinary art displayed all over the hotel. Friendly, helpful service. Loved the fire in the bedrooms and lounge. The wine is great, love the Oak Chardonnay.
Only negative is no restaurant, should you want an evening meal. Plenty of eateries in town though.

The team that work at Holden Manz were superb. They were helpful, informative and they made our stay. For this reason we would recommend others to stay. Thoughtful touches include welcome drink, bottle of wine in room and local tips and recommendations. They had lovely artwork around the property showcasing South African artists.

Most amazing stay of our lives!
This was with out a doubt the most amazing experience of our lives.
We went there for a romantic getaway and the staff made us feel incredibly special from the moment we arrived. I had asked the staff to make the room special for the night and they did not disappoint, with champagne, flowers and candles throughout the room!
When we arrived back from supper they had started a fire in our room, turned down our bed for us as well as provide us with a full weather report for the next day. We felt so spoilt!
The breakfasts the following day are also really good, large tasty portions which is well presented and served to you.
To top it all off, we received a bottle of wine as a goodbye gift.
Thanks Holden Manz team for the incredible hospitality - we will be back for sure!

Fantastic!
Me and my girlfriend had a great time at Holden Manz. Everything was absolutely perfect in every detail. From arrival, to breakfast, to the main house, to the room itself etc etc. It has been decorated into detail. We stayed 3 nights and 4 days and enjoyed every moment. High tea was a great experience swell in the afternoon. We also did have dinner all 3 nights in their great restaurant. I did see before that did get a 5 out of 5 rating and the deserve this 100%. Will come back again.

Perfect stay for weekend of wineries
Had an incredible 2-night stay at Holden Manz Country House. Short drive from Franschhoek, nestled in one of the most beautiful valleys in the area. Staff were immediately attentive and welcoming. Our room, which was a suite directly above the entrance to the main building was perhaps one of the best rooms I have ever stayed in. Much more than expected. The view of the valley and vineyard were breathtaking. Room was enormous with extra bedroom that we did not expect. Clean and cozy. Fast internet. Free bottle of wine, which was excellent. Nice shower. Breakfast was great. Not our favorite restaurant for dinner but still good and we were here during off-season. Overall, this was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend of visiting wineries. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely incredible. We felt like Royalty
From the moment you arrive until long after you're supposed to have checked out, Holden Manz was superb. Beautiful quiet location nestled amongst the hills with a stunning lake. Rooms were excellent as was the pool but what the pictures don't do justice are the communal areas. There are 4 rooms all immaculately decorated and proudly displaying some incredible artwork. Also, the staff never stop trying to help. Great poolside drinks service, tasty breakfast and generally a \"we can't do enough to help\" attitude. Restaurant on site is also one of the best in Franschhoek. I'll be going back.
Syed
Perfect relaxation amongst the vineyards
A perfect country house set amongst a vineyards, with comfort and service levels to match. Holden Manz is a working vineyard and produces some very nice wines; you can try these as part of an organised wine tasting, or with dinner in the very nice restaurant on site. The house itself has very generous and beautifully furnished public areas, as well as a pool area, gardens, an orchard, and of course the vineyard itself. I stayed in the Oliphant Suite which has panoramic views over the vines, ample space, and excellent standard of fittings, furnishing and amenities. High tea is offered each afternoon and you can also have a picnic in the grounds or by the pool.
Basically, you get a version of Provence in August without the crowds. Absolutely blissful and highly recommended!
