About Last Word Franschhoek
In the heart of the Cape Winelands, where mountains cradle the valley and vines stretch to the horizon, you’ll find Last Word Franschhoek—a tranquil retreat in the country’s culinary capital.
Our ten beautifully appointed rooms and suites blend classic Cape style with contemporary luxury, offering spacious elegance, fine linens, and serene comfort.
Each suite opens onto private patios or balconies that invite you to linger a little longer—morning coffee in hand, fresh air in your lungs, and the village quietly humming beyond. Step outside and you’re just moments away from world- class restaurants, boutique wineries, and charming galleries.
Franschhoek is a place made for wandering: cobbled streets lined with cafés and art, laughter spilling from wine trams, the scent of fresh bread and French flair at every turn. Back at the hotel, calm replaces the bustle.

The hotel is ideally located just of the main street of Franschhoek. The reception
Russell
Amazing ly beautiful decor and staff absolutely fabulous. French Connection restaurant 5 mins walk and although we didn’t drink complimentary wine and spirits in the lounge….perfect
Dmitry
The property has character. Room was not very big but comfortable. Staff really took interest in what we did during the day and came up with suggestions. Friendly. Breakfast good.
Colleen
Gorgeous boutique hotel! Our superior king room was huge w all amenities, even its own pool! Would have been lovely for the pool to be heated slightly to make it usable but lovely to have a private courtyard. Staff were excellent & breakfasts delicious. Highly recommend.
Gwendoline
Everything was lovely - couldn’t fault amenities
Excellent breakfast
On previous stays all drinks were included but this time we were told there was an ‘ honesty bar ‘
On returning home I noticed that the hotel fact sheet stated all beverages included - very disappointing

Amy
We had a wonderful stay at The Last Word in Franschoek. Great location which gave us the ability to walk to all the shops and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious and beautiful. The service was above and beyond. Rooms were so comfortable we made ourselves right at home. Our own pool, sitting room, and even a mat to work out with.
Mark
The staff at this hotel are amazing. Very helpful and really friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The room we had was beautiful and always clean. We had a turndown each night with a little surprise that was left for us like chocolate, hot chocolate etc. This is a must hotel if you are staying in Franschhoek. Great location also.
Kristin
Beautiful accommodation - room was huge and very well decorated. Wish we had a longer stay
Anton
Amazing Honeymoon stay! Highly recommend
An amazing stay at Last Word. The attention to detail of the staff was outstanding and the small details really made our stay memorable. They understood our itinerary and helped us plan our days, making sure we made the most of our stay. The room was so spacious and homely. I would highly recommend this guest house! Perfect location and within walking distance to wine tram, restaurants and very short (and cheap) uber to local vineyards.
clare
a perfect stay
this hotel is a little gem right in the middle of Franschhoek , the decor is absolutely stunning ,and the attention to detail is spot on. We had an amazing one night stay . the service of all the staff was excellent , and the manager is extremely hands on. Thankyou to all
Charlotte
We had a wonderful stay at the Last Word. Franklin, Conrad and the whole team couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome, at home and offered to help with all aspects of our trip plans.
The hotel decor and facilities surpassed expectations. We had an amazing few nights sleep, the room felt very premium and the bathroom was incredible!
Overall, we felt the hotel was worth far more than what we paid and can’t wait to return!

Gorgeous property in an amazing location. Great breakfasts. Lovely staff.
delyse
The staff was incredible and made our stay amazing. The small touches added to the suite were extremely thoughtful. The suite was huge and the entire property was tastefully decorated and pristine. A 5-star
Eric
3 star stay - heavy 5 star price!
Very average place but comes with a very high price. Standards not up to the price being charged. Attention to the little things missing. Definitely not worth over Euro 300 per night!
Bathroom towels old and fraying. No back-up power for repeated load-shedding (even 3-star hotels in Cape Town / Graaf-Reinett / Kruger Park / across South Africa now have full solar invertor - back-up generators installed!).
Bed too short (and I am average height - my feet hang over end which last happened to me at a hotel for midgets in Paris!). Room cleaning service merely adequate. Off street parking almost unparkable unless you're in a Fiat Uno.
Etc ...
Much better places in Franschoek for much less money.

The Last Word is a great place to stay - spacious room, great amenities, friendly and helpful staff. The only complaint was that our room had an air conditioner which was undersized for the room. That coupled with the rolling power outages made the room quite uncomfortable at times.
Kathryn
It really is the last word!
Amazing hotel and staff. Beautiful room with it’s own small swimming pool. The breakfasts were delicious and the house keeping staff are amazing!

We think this hotel is a gem in Franschhoek. This is our 2nd visit, first staying in room 3 and this stay in room 2. The staff cannot do enough for you, we love our suite, feeling very relaxed in it. The extra touches the staff go to are greatly appreciated.
Andrew
Disappointing
The price I paid way way too much for the experience of staying at the last word. I don't mind paying for quality but this trip it really was way out of kilter regarding pice vs experience.
Matthias
Great Spot in the middle of Franschhoek
Loved it! was really great and everyone was super friendly
Uwe
5 Stars
Awesome stay in a beautiful guest house. Charming and luxurious with super large rooms with everything you need. Will certainly be back.
Akbar
Service with a smile!
Overall a memorable stay at the hotel. The staff and responsiveness to requests are top notch. From the welcome we received from Conrad and the team to them trying to fulfill our requests, they were amazing. Rooms are large, which is ideal for a couple, not sure about families, did not ask.
The hotel is situated on the main road it is within walking distance of all you need. Make sure you look out for the sign as Wave directed us to the delivery entrance!
Dietary requirements are catered for no problem - you ask and they try to accommodate the request. The afternoon tea/drinks were a treat. They only have breakfast on site and do not do other meals - they are surrounded by a variety of restaurants.
The pool is not heated so usage is dependent on the time of year and temperature.
There are 10 rooms and not enough parking, so you might need to park on the street - our car was safe overnight.

From when you first walk into the property and are greeted by the warm staff, you know this place is special. Literally located in town, you can walk everywhere. It is charming and decorated very tastefully exuding calm serenity. The rooms were very well appointed with heated floors, a bonus in Cape winters! Also complimentary stocked mini bar and two bottles of wine. They did little turn down touched to make are stay memorable and special. Breakfast was fresh and made to order, delicious.

Franklin the manager is amazing. Punctual, above and beyond, and sociable. He made the entire stay. The locations is lovely, a nice communal feel. If you are comfortable getting the front door keys for a place and sharing a glass of wine with your fellow guest, this is the place for you.

Mark
Comfy but not \"the last word\"
The rooms are spacious and well-equipped (though it took me half an hour to figure out how to get the fan to work - no staff on duty at night), but this is a tiny property on a quiet alcove off the main street, not a country estate like it appears in the photos. The gentlemen at the front desk is very helpful, but I arrived on a busy Monday and he had to call over a dozen restaurants before I could get a table (for one) for dinner. The pool is also very small. Overall very comfy but don't expect a truly world class experience.
Jorge Ariel
My The Last Word is that I will be coming back!
Booked this hotel for my birthday, how glad I was!
The staff is incredibly friendly and very attentive to your needs.
If there is one thing i would recommend anyone visiting South Africa is that you must reserve in advance restaurants
Lots of Chateaus not far away!!
Wine tasting is a must!
