Wonderful B&B in gorgeous Franschoek. Staff were very courteous and kind. Room was spacious, clean, well-maintained. Breakfast is excellent, including hot food (eggs prepared to order), pastries and fresh fruit juices. Location is a short walk from Franschoek’s main street, which features many galleries, stores and restaurants. Parking on-site within the gated compound.

Stayed a few times. Ideal location. The only suggestion to the owners is to move the safe. It is on the floor. No use for the disabled or elderly.

We spent 2 nights. The service was very good as was the breakfast and coffee. The rooms were comfortable. The pool and surroundings needed a little loving though. The location was only a few blocks from the main road with galleries and restaurants. An overall lovely experience.

The guest house sits in such a pretty location only a walk away from Main Street but at the same time it’s very quiet! The veranda, gardens and pool area are just a delight! So lovely and beautiful! The room that we were given was beautifully decorated, simple and elegant! Michaela was so lovely and friendly and made sure that we have everything! The staff were also extremely sweet and helpful! Breakfast was great! An absolute success. From the set up of the tables to the coffee and all the varieties of food that we had, including a made to order choice of eggs!! On our last day, michaela was happy to let us stay an extra 3 hours after our check out time, so we enjoyed the pool and the garden since it was so hot!! Our only tiny complain would be that the bed even though was very comfortable with beautiful linen was quite short length wise. Me and my daughter are medium height. Someone taller would have a problem sleeping on that bed. The bathroom fittings could do with an update. We would happily stay again at the Corner House! A delight!!
