The hidden Retreat on Haumann

Close to wine trams. Spacious home with all facilities available even backup electricity.Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay there again.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful, spacious rooms and bathrooms with incredibly comfortable beds. An absolute bargain for the price and a hidden gem

Beautiful. Tasteful decor and very comfortable.

Nothing - everything was lovely

Very central, but set back from the main road, so quiet. The housekeeper was lovely, and flexible about checking in/out.

The third bedroom (a twin) was a little dark, but perfectly pleasant. We had some trouble with the gate.

Beautiful, spacious house in a great location. Wish we had more than 2 nights to make the most of it. Kids loved the pool. Warm welcome from Danai and check in/out process was very smooth, messaging by WhatsApp to arrange convenient times.

Perfect location for the Wine Tram. Checkin tram were great. Facilities were fab for a family. Lovely small outdoor courtyard with plunge pool and BBQ for a relaxing evening in.

Very small point - a couple of minor repairs required in at least one of the bathrooms.

very nice house with a lot of space and close to city. awesome stay

Beautifully appointed and well located. Very stylish. Children loved the swimming pool. Nice bed linen. Enjoyed the dishwasher.

The entrance hall felt a bit sparse and unwelcoming, but that's a matter of taste. The biggest issue was that the hot water wasn't working in the upstairs bathroom, which was a letdown.

10/10 perfect again for our second time stay of a family of 6.

B-fast not included in the booking, location was perfect, layout and modern house

30 mins before arrival informed that there was no electricity, due to a fire and updates was on situation would have been appreciated. Travelling with small children was therefore problematic, also as the pool was a green algae soup when we arrived, it was only cleaned towards our departure two days later. Finally on arrival we had to go and buy our own tp. For the price paid for luxury we would have expected better service and info. In conclusion, some sort of gesture from the hostess would have been appropiate.

Well appointed house with great spaces. Walking distance to village and just across the road from the wine tram. Very friendly check in and flexible check out much appreciated. Good value for an increasingly pricey Franschhoek.

Great stay in Franschhoek! Lovely spacious house - perfect for a group of friends or family. Very clean, with lots of amenities and very central - short walking distance into the town. The pool and outdoor area is lovely. They also have off street parking. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Sehr großzügiges und stilvoll eingerichtetes Haus mit sehr viel Platz-sehr zu empfehlen!

My decision has been made: Everytime I visit Franschoek, I am going to stay here. Everything was perfect, everything was thought of. Pool was delightful, location is excellent- Walking distance to all your needs. Beds super comfy, the space is gorgeous, very clean and tidy. Check in/out was super easy and relaxed

Really the only thing was the lack of pool towels. Thats it. I cannot fault this place

We loved the Beautiful ecstatic and feel of the place,wished we stayed longer

Just before check out ,we were rushed to leave the accommodation,as the next guest was there early for check in .

Very comfortable , clean and big. Tasteful furniture and very well equipped. We loved our time there.

Torn bed linen with holes in it , in main bedroom. Stains on the floor in bathrooms. House not ready upon arrival and no notification ahead of time.

Location to town was perfect. Room sizes and facilities were also excellent. A beautiful property.

Nothing

Couldn’t fault it. It was unique, clean and had everything we could have needed. It doesn’t have a TV which didn’t bother us but worth noting.

Nothing!

Central, spacious.

Casa linda, muito confortavel.Quartos grandes, camas confortáveis. Funcionarios muito receptivos. Muito bem localizada para fazer o passeio de trem.

The house was very big! Great kitchen and well Stocked, the location was perfect, close To a pick and pay and also super close to the wine tram! It’s suited our family very well! Communication was perfect - any questions were answered very quickly! Secure parking!

One of the bathrooms we couldn’t use as the drains smelt bad. But it didn’t effect us as there were other bathrooms to use

Location is perfect!

Would be nice to have a Bluetooth speaker and a TV. The Fireplace needs looking at. The whole house smelt of smoke after lighting the fire. All clothes had to be washed once we got home as they smelt of smoke.

Nothing not to like , Spacious and elegant, generous coffee pods, lovely pool, easy walk to town, safe parking and security.

Nothing

House was very neat and clean. It had everything we neeeded, maybe the only thing was that they could have one packet of wood and fire lighters available.

Everything was in order. there was nothing we did not like. it met all our expectations.

Incredible communication and help from the team. Very spacious and incredibly close to the wine tram and Pick n Pay (both walking distance).

Comfortable home with nice back area at pool which was warm and sunny. Beds were very comfortable and the showers were great! Bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size. Perfect for a group of friends traveling together.

The property only has an outside alarm so doesn’t protect guests when inside/ sleeping at night which we weren’t entirely happy about.

La localisation idéale dans la ville pour s y rendre à papier. La proximité des départs du tram pour les dégustations de vins. Le cachet et la décoration de la maison étaient formidables.

Comfortable beautiful traditional home in the heart of Franschhoek with all the amenities. Small touches incl basic non perishables in the kitchen to get you going if you have a meal at home to relax from all the gourmet food experiences around you (salt pepper braai spice tea coffee sugar milk). Hosts also happy to receive deliveries to make your stay so much easier

Suggestion to include electric blankets for winter, aircons take a long time to warm up double volumes

The address should be listed as 17A not 17 as this leads to confusion. Danai is very nice and responds to the phone immediately but was a little slow arriving.

Spacious homes, with quality fixtures and fittings. We only stayed 1 night but the house seemed well equipped. We were out and visited the vineyards, but it was lovely to return too, felt like a home away from home. Only a few minutes walk to wine tram and about 5 minutes max into main area. Seems like a very quiet location and felt very safe.

Nothing, it was as described if not better.

The entire house is spacious. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything was perfect. Dania who oversees the house was incredible. Efficient,

Location perfect, close to shops and main street. Exceptional Indian Restaurant/takeaway and a bakery (the best croissants) within 100 m. Masses of excellent wineries close by.

Great central location. Walking distance to the wine tram and town. A/C throughout the house and a nice pool. The staff were also exceptional with immediate responses and assistance to needs.

The bathroom tiles were slippery and the driveway is very narrow for older people to reverse down.

The property was fabulous. Spacious. Well appointed with a quality interior. Great plunge pool. Good quality linen and towels. Fully fitted kitchen which was great.

Could have had a couple more sun loungers. There were 5 of us. No face cloths in the upstairs bathroom. No tissues to clean make up off. No coffee pods for the coffee machine (yet at 5 De Wet, there were pods). The drive and gates are quite narrow - keep the greenery there trimmed back to make access more easy. No indication outside that the alarm is set. Have an LED. Danai didn't communicate well - response to SMSs took ages or didn't happen at all.

Fantastic house, the pool was amazing after a long hot day. Very nice and comfortable.

Beautiful calm oasis in a fantastic location. Rooms are tastefully furnished and extremely comfortable.

One thing only - quite a tricky driveway to navigate and park on. Also electric gates close far too quickly! Our car got ever so slightly scratched by the gates.

Our new favourite place to stay in Franschhoek. Lived everything about the house. It’s secure, spacious, well appointed and the decor is tasteful and elegant. Great linens - soft towels and cotton sheets and duvets. Danai was an excellent and very helpful host.

Need to bring pegs if you want to dry your laundry and the tablecloths provided were badly marked and stained. Could also do with more wine glasses (only 4 provided) . But these are very minor niggles.

The location is ideal, a very short walk to the wine tram The house is spacious. Lovely and clean Perfect for 3 couples comfortable bed

-The house next door is having a full renovation, and the building wok is so loud making it impossible to sit in the garden or enjoy the pool in peace. This is obviously out of the owners control, but they didn't even pre-warn us of this fact. -There is no privacy during the day in the main bedroom and ensuite as the builders next door can see straight into the room, so we had to keep the curtains closed all the time. -There is a broken tile right by the pool which is really dangerous especially when wet. -Not enough sun loungers considering the size of the house.

Beautiful place - you can take better pics. The olace is more beautiful in person.

Homely and very friendly host

Tranquility

Excellent property, beautiful, good location, comfortable, everything you could ask for.

Well situated , quiet street and so well positioned Beautifully decorated

extremely friendly staff and clean house

Comfortable it was our third stay at the property

The building work on the next door property. We had no privacy. We were not told about this prior to our visit and were offered no compensation. Very disappointed indeed.

Great location beautiful property comfortable and clean

Unfortunately no hot water in the bathrooms Although it’s summer not great to have a early morning cold shower

Everything was absolutely fantastic.

Fabulous property and great location. Heaps of room and very comfortable beds. Perfect location for exploring the area

The house was nice and warm. Very nice bedding!

N/A

Lovely property with all you need. Close to the wine tram station and main road. Host was absolutely fantastic. House was clean and comfortable.

Nothing, all great!

Beautiful place and friendly staff!

The house was lovely and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were all wonderful and very accommodating. Thank you very much.

Fantastic place to stay, very close to Wine Tram. Quiet and tranquil surroundings. Lots of parking and very secure. Very comfortable and superb value. Will be back!

The house was lovely, all crockery, linen and furnishings were great.

We were booked in and did not see any staff until we had to leave. The house was not serviced. We had so many mosquitoes, I messaged for the bedrooms to be sprayed and received a reply 3 days after we left.

Very good location, just off the main road with many activities just around the corner. House is spacious with nice garden but the trees block the sun after the morning mostly. Pool pump kind of noisy during the night and some spaces were not that clean. All in all would recommend to stay here

Location, spacious villa, clean, pool.

A few small things, e.g mattresses not the best, no breadknife or teaspoons, and a couple of fittings require fixing. No wood braai, only gas.

Luxurious accommodation close to town. Very well equipped

Only 1 teabag

INVERTER WI FI

GARAGE WAS USED FOR STORAGE .VERY DIRTY AND YOU HAD TO DO YOUR WASHING IN THERE SWIMMING POOL DIRTY ONE OF THE BEDS IS DESPERATELY IN NEED OF A NEW MATRASS HAD TO GO AND BUY 3 GLOBES FOR BEDROOMS NO HANGERS IN CUBORDS

Comfortable and spacious home. Great location. Walking distance to the restaurants in town and the wine tram. The pool to combat the extreme heat in summer. The water is very cold though.

Nothing that we disliked about the property. It’s a great setting for family/friends. Communication needs improvement. We were not made aware that the fridge was switched off when we arrived. We only realised hours later that our food and drinks weren’t being kept cool, and had to put it on ourselves. Then when loadshedding started, the power would constantly switch on and off, and the fridge alarm would beep non stop. We had to reach out to ask what was going on after which they clarified that it was as a result of the generator and loadshedding. The fact that this happens when loadshedding takes place could have been proactively communicated to us to avoid confusion and frustration. We understand that loadshedding happens, that isn’t an issue.

Very comfortable. No electricity cuts air Con, good location. Everything you need f excellent

The trees had grown a lot since our last stay in the property so the garden was much more in the shade than we remembered

Great to have a house in the area that is pet friendly.

The house was lovely and ideal for families to visit.
