As always its such a treat to return to this amazing place. This time, unusually, we went before Christmas. Lovely warm welcome, room 7 in the loft was fun. Pool amazing, advice and help wonderful and my favour breakfast in Cape Town. We are already planning to return. Looking forwards to seeing the family back together. Good luck for the season!

This hotel sits in a rural location between Fransschoek and Stellenbosch making it well-placed for touring the many local wineyards. The room was in a rustic style with a very high, thatched roof above the bed leading to a very spacious feel. The bathroom, however, was functional but somewhat cramped. The bed was excellent and we slept very well. Breakfast in the central building was excellent. Finally, the hostess offered a warm welcome and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting with any local bookings.

I love coming here, it is friendly, classy with first class management and just a most awesome view over the vineyard towards the mountains. I look forward to our first coffee on the stoop tomorrow morning early

This is a beautiful place to stay overlooking a vineyard and the mountains. The cottage was great,comfortable and clean with spectacular views. Greg and Ezna were fantastic hosts, advising on restaurants and trips and then booking them for us. They were always friendly and remembered your name and what you liked for breakfast. This is a good base for the wine region and it's only an hour back to Capetown. The village of Franschoek itself is a pleasant and friendly place. If I ever visit South Africa again I would definitely stay here again.

My family and I stayed here just recently, and really enjoyed this lovely B&B. We have been traveling though different parts of Capetown and staying at different B&Bs every night. I must say that Klein Waterval was the best accommodation we stayed at. Location wise, it's convenient to the wineyards, the Franschhoek Motor Museum, and the Franschhoek town, less than a 10min drive. The accommodation was very charming with their Cape Dutch architecture and lovely rustic and warm decor. Great pool access and balconies you can sit and enjoy the beautiful landscape of the vineyards, fruit trees and mountains. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable beds and a quiet outdoors resulted in a very good night's sleep. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with restaurant recommendations. Their breakfast was delicious as well. I would definitely come back!!

we found it to be great value for money, with friendly attendance, excellent views and atmosphere. so peaceful that we felt sorry to have to leave. the people could not have been more accommodating to satisfy our needs and requests. the only thing missing was a bar fridge, but a solution was found and we happy. very recommended.

Our room (#8) was spacious and lovely. It had its own little terrace overlooking the vineyards. Trevor the owner greeted us warmly and gave us plenty of recommendations on restaurants and wineries to visit. The small hotel has a small bar for the evenings which works on the honor system, which worked perfectly for us. Met the other guests there at night which was great fun. The breakfast served by Trevor and his staff was hearty and plentiful, gave you a good basis for the day before you hit all the tasting places nearby (-: We liked the location very much as it is between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and not far from Paarl - everything is easy to reach by car.
