Stayed at Cornerhouse for 2 nights. Excellent accommodation. Our room pristine and the bathroom huge with walk in shower and separate bath. Breakfast was good fresh with great food options. Off road secure gated parking was an added bonus. Location is perfect, just 5 minutes walk to the main street, with shops and restaurants. Really enjoyed it and would return if in the area again

Very good

The service was 2nd to none, absolutely brilliant (especially Preston). It is in a good location (close to the Main Street but in a quiet road). Unfortunately our room had two others adjoining to the rear and both sides weren’t very quiet and we could hear every word until they decided to switch off for the night. I also thought that it was a little petty that you are allowed one hot drink with breakfast having to pay for any additional ones. When we arrived we were asked if we would like a coffee whilst we checked in, which we did, they were on our bill.

I don’t know how many times I have stayed at Corner House but it never fails. In fact, it seems to get better and better. Pet-friendly too, and my pooch and I are always made to feel more than welcome.

Very disappointing stay. Not very accommodating and just want to take your money without providing any level of service. Did not care about the comfort of the guests.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, We are very sorry to hear about your experience. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we truly regret that you felt your comfort and needs were not prioritized. Your feedback is taken seriously, and we will use it to improve our service. Kind Regards, The Corner House Residence

The corner house is a beautiful guest house in an ideal location- easily walkable to the heart of Franschoek in just a few minutes. We stayed in the 2 bedroom annex with our daughters and all found it to be very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We wish we had stayed longer!
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guests, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you and your daughters enjoyed the annex and found it comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. It’s wonderful to hear that our location made exploring Franschhoek easy, and we hope to welcome you back for a longer stay next time! Kind Regards, The Corner House Residence

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Corner House. We were in Franschhoek for a wedding and it was the perfect place for us. It’s an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were kind and helpful. It was a great place to return to after all the wedding events!

An absolute gem. Nestled 2 blocks off the main road, in a lovely private setting. Clean, well maintained, exceptional staff and service. Wonderful breakfast. We will absolutely return again!

We were very disappointed upon arriving at the Corner House Residence. While the house itself has potential, it is in need of maintenance throughout. The view from our room was underwhelming, overlooking a roof covered with solar panels. My aunt’s room was acceptable but not particularly clean, while ours was quite run-down and also not properly cleaned. I raised these concerns with the staff, requesting an additional vacuum and a more thorough cleaning, particularly for a wet area. While the water was wiped away, the spot behind the door—which I had specifically pointed out—was still left untouched. The bathroom grout is in desperate need of cleaning, and there are large cracks behind the door that have been completely neglected. Despite the condition of the rooms, the owner refused to provide a full refund, leaving us with little choice but to stay. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend this place.

We stayed at this wonderful guesthouse in Franchoek for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable, the service and guest care more than excellent. The breakfast was a dream, we didn't have a better one on our trip to South Africa. The location is also perfect as you can walk into town and find a good selection of great restaurants. So all perfect!
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your 5-night stay with us in Franschhoek. It’s wonderful to hear that you found the room comfortable, the service exceptional, and the breakfast unforgettable—that truly means the world to us. We're also glad you enjoyed our location and the ease of exploring the town and its amazing restaurants. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another perfect stay! Kind Regards, The Corner House Residence

A great place to stay! Centrally located, next to the centre and the Hugenot museum, and even to some of the wineries (Le Lude). Spacious rooms, in particular the bathroom. Nice little garden with a small lovely pool. Friendly staff and very good value.

We had a great stay at Corner House, friendly staff, good breakfast, room was clean and had everything we needed. We have nothing to complain about in that regard. Check in was easy and quick. Not realy a problem for us, but there is limited parking space on the premises, we had to park in the street .
