For most travelers, Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is the only gateway to the region, though it is located in the neighboring city of Cape Town, not in Franschhoek itself. As the primary international and domestic hub for the Western Cape, it serves as the essential entry point for those heading to the Cape Winelands. Because there is no direct public rail or metro connection from the airport to the valley, travelers must rely on road-based transport. A private taxi or car rental provides the most convenient and fastest route for those comfortable navigating local roads or preferring a seamless, direct transfer. For budget-conscious visitors, shared shuttle services offer a more economical, albeit slower, alternative. It is highly recommended to pre-book your ground transportation before arrival to ensure a smooth transition from your flight to your destination in the scenic Franschhoek Valley, as spontaneous options at the terminal can be limited or subject to surge pricing.

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 some of the things and the room let it felt outdated.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.FromUS$184

We stayed here for 3 nights. Perfect location, perfect stay. Breakfast was great. Lunch was available but at the time of our stay dinner wasn’t available. However town is super close by and there are ample restaurants to choose from. Staff are super friendly and helpful. There are a couple of swimming pools that the guests can use. The villas are spacious, clean and have everything you need. We would 100% recommend staying here and we would definitely return!FromUS$211

This is a place where you want to stay.
From the very entrance to the apparatus and until the moment of eviction, the smile did not go from my face.
There are many cute vintage things in a single style and at the same time very modern and filled with the necessary details for living.
The location is in the heart of the city's life, very convenient for both a rush-up walk through galleries and shops, and for a relaxed lunch or dinner in a cute cafe. And the wine tram station is very close.
We will definitely recommend to friends.FromUS$176

Located in the winery town, the location is very central and the environment is very good. The small yard is beautifully managed. The room was clean and large, and the breakfast was carefully prepared. The disadvantage is that the wind is too strong, and it feels like it will be blown away.FromUS$90

The owner, Tim, is very enthusiastic and provides a lot of information about the town's travel and dining; borrowing my bike for free and riding in a nearby winery. The Leeu Estates Lions Estate, a wealthy Indian businessman, must look at art. The bedding is very comfortable and there are homemade desserts. The next day, because I had to leave the store at 6 o'clock, I prepared a take-away breakfast intimately.FromUS$204
