Nice, but not worth the price
We stayed one night, in high season. The room was small, but fine. The bathroom was tiny; it was so small, we had to turn sideways to pass between the shower and the vanity (and we're skinny!). The manager was outstanding, and very customer-focused. The breakfast was fine. It was very nice to sit by a small stream while we ate breakfast. My biggest issue is value. I just didn't see any reason why the price was so high (around R 3200 per night). To me, given the location, and the setting, the price was at least 50% higher than it should be.

Well located, close to the centre of Franschhoek and a number of the key wine farms and places of interest the accommodation was comfortable and the views across the vines to the mountains spectacular. A great base for exploring the region. We could not have been made more welcome. Danika, in particular, put herself out to be of assistance. Breakfast was great.

Fabulous little hotel
Fantastic little hotel, the staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful if they tried. A little way out of the centre of Franschoek, about 10 kms but well worth the journey in for dinner each night.

Gorgeous location and fantastic advice
This is a terrific bed and breakfast with a welcoming feeling and the proprietor goes out of his way to create a friendly and relaxed setting. The grounds are impeccable, but what really makes it special is the advice from the owner. Everything we asked about we got spot on recommendations. It's a few miles from the town center, We were given help making a reservation and a car service so we could enjoy wine safely. If you want views of the vineyards, this is ideal. I would definitely come again.

We had a lovely stay and wished we had booked more than one night. The host was first class greeting us on arrival and making us feel really welcome. We were shown around and left to fend for ourselves finding everything. The breakfast was lovely and we had a perfect stay. Thank you

HAPPY DAYS SPEND AT KLEIN WATERFALL
MY TOP RATING CORRESPOND TO A B&B OF THIS CATEGORY, WE FOUND IT EXTREMELY CONVENIENT, THE KINDNESS OF THE STAFF AND THE MANAGER DID GO THE EXTRA MILE TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEM. THE B&B DO NOT HAVE REFRIGERATORS IN THE ROOMS, BUT WHEN I INQUIRED FOR A BAR FRIDGE, 10 MINUTES LATER THEY BROUGHT A SMALL REFRIGERATOR FROM THEIR KITCHEN, WHAT MORE CAN YOU WISH. THIS PLACE HAS MY FULL AND DESERVED RECOMENDATION
