Absolutely Fabulous Stay at Protea Hotel Franschhoek
We had a fabulous stay at the Protea Hotel in Franschhoek—easily one of the highlights of our South Africa trip. The location is perfect—walking distance to shops, wine bars, and top-notch restaurants—but still feels peaceful and tucked away.
The rooms were stylish, comfortable, and spotless, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like more than just a chain hotel. The staff went above and beyond—warm, helpful, and genuinely kind without being overbearing.
The pool and garden area were lovely for a mid-day wine break, and the breakfast was fresh, generous, and beautifully presented. Everything felt calm, elegant, and easy—the kind of place where you immediately exhale and relax.
Would absolutely stay again. A gem in the Winelands.
