Reviews and Ratings
La Residence is truly an unforgettable gem in Franschoek. The charming atmosphere, picturesque gardens, and attentive service made our stay extraordinary. The dining experience is exceptional, especially lunch outdoors with stunning views, though we did face some weather-related challenges while attempting outdoor activities. Overall, the hotel represents excellent value for money, particularly given its luxury experience.
La Residence is an absolute gem, nestled in the beautiful wine country. The manicured grounds and eye-catching design create a serene atmosphere that feels like a dream come true. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort, with personalized touches that make you feel special. While the peacocks roaming freely are enchanting, they can be a bit noisy in the mornings. Overall, this place is a paradise you’ll never want to leave, offering exceptional beauty and outstanding service.
My stay at La Residence was truly unforgettable! Nestled in a beautiful estate, it offered stunning views and impeccable service from the moment I arrived. The spacious, luxurious room had breathtaking scenery, and I felt like royalty. Each morning, breakfast by the fire was a lovely touch. However, the peacock sounds at night were a bit distracting for my sleep. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, although the location was a little further from the town than expected.
La Res offers an indulgent experience that feels like a stay in a private mansion, complete with stunning suites and exceptional amenities. The staff goes above and beyond, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel truly special. While the overall experience was absolutely fantastic, I can't help but wish I could have stayed longer, but the splurge was worth every penny.
I had a remarkable experience at this hotel with its extraordinary room and beautiful grounds. The staff was cheerful and efficient, really adding to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining experience was not up to par, with slow service and a limited menu that truly let down the overall stay.
