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.

upon arriving at the hotel the staff was super friendly. so helpful and polite and willing to help. the location of the hotel is a great and beautiful Franschoek.
the room was okay it felt more like a Airbnb than that hotel. it was not what we expected and not for the price we paid. the room felt a little bit updated and they were some essential items missing. there was also no milk for your coffee and no coffee at all. if you want to order something you had to add an additional hundred rounds to get it delivered to your door. some of the things and the room let it felt outdated. the view of the parking lot is also not what was expected. the beautiful views were across the road in the hotel. The pictures was a bit misleading and disappointing when arriving to the room.

I stayed in the apartments section and it was lovely. The view from the balcony in the morning was serene. My only regret was not staying longer. The room was super clean and the shower was piping hot. Great location and friendly staff.
