L'Auberge Chanteclair

Wonderful property, great location (peaceful but 1 or 2 km from downtown Franschoeck). Allan the manager goes way beyond his required duty to make your stay memorable: restaurants recommendations (including the not-to-be-missed Arkeste where we went 2 nights in a row), hiking tips, galleries tips, etc... Everything is state-of-the-heart in the hands of Allan and his wife Yvonne: beautiful decoration, attention to all details, over-the-top breakfast, beautiful garden, pool, wine tasting from the property...You can easily spend a week there. We booked a year ahead of time to have the privilege to stay in this amazing property and we strongly suggest you do the same, otherwise you will regret to miss it 😁!

We have been staying at L'Auberge Chanteclair 4 days in the beginning of March 25. We've got a recommendation from a friend of us not to miss the opportunity to stay here some days as part of our South African vacation. And: our expectations have been surpassed!! First of all: the location outside the centre of Franschhoek very close to the mountains in a dead end road; very calm, safe and the entire site is very well taken care of. Wonderful green spaces, flowers, bushes, trees, own vine and a wonderful (hidden) pool help you to let your soul dangle. The owners are around the entire day and supporting their team in producing the breakfast and to answer all possible questions that might come up including tips how to plan the day...... The first highlight of each single day is the breakfast: We've seen quite some breakfast buffets, BUT this is a different dimension: A different fruit and juice offer every morning, prepared in a way that you want to take a picture, fresh bread (partly self baked) cheese, ham and sausage (very seldom in SA) and a choice of yogurt and muesli. On top of that you can choose different freshly cooked egg dishes. Again; this is outstanding!! Not to forget to mention: tasteful furnished appartments (we had our "own little house"), a high quality bed and a bathroom on best european standard. L'Auberge Chanteclair has been the best accomodation of our 4 weeds in SA, THANKS A LOT Yvonne & Allen and team!! Antje & Michael Mette from Germany

We spent a few days at Chanteclair, and it was amazing! Every day, they serve a different juice for breakfast, along with an incredible buffet and delicious varieties of eggs or menu choices. Try the eggs with cheese and herbs from the garden—yum! It’s about a 5- to 8-minute walk to town, which makes it perfect for being close to everything while also allowing you to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, all in a greener setting with stunning views of the landscape. Every afternoon, there’s complimentary house wine from the hotel. The rooms are cozy and clean. The staff is impeccable, friendly, and very customer-oriented, providing great service and being very interesting to chat with. We had a lovely experience, and we would definitely come back! THANK YOU!
