We recently stayed in beautiful Hermanus at Francolinhof, the hosts Mary and Jean were just wonderful, more than helpful with any query or question and willing to impart local knowledge from where to have a sundowner to the best places to eat and visit. I highly recommend this B&B, it's quiet location, it's spacious rooms and the quality of the... More

Hello June I think I missed this lovely review that you have taken the trouble to write. You were here at a good time for sundowners - a little chilly to be on the cliffs in the evenings at present! I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and found our suggestions helpful. Warm regards and I hope that one... More

FrancolinHof was recommended by friends and it didn't disappoint. A perfect location with possibly the most stunning views of the sea and mountains. We stayed for 4 nights in the Sugarbird room which was quiet and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was a good continental and cooked breakfast with Mary's delicious homemade sweet treats to follow. Mary,... More

We had previously visited Hermanus to view the whales but this was our first overnight stop. I made the reservations 11 months in advance & exchanged many emails with Mary prior to our stay, one concerning my requirement for soya milk as I am lactose intolerant. Not only did Mary provide the milk but also yoghurt & margarine!! This is... More

We really enjoyed staying here. The rooms are very spacious and clean with excellent views and the breakfasts substantial and tasty. Mary's recommendations for places to visit and eat were very much appreciated-- the Raka wine estate, Greyton village and the berry farm near Stellenbosch on the way back to Cape Town airport were all top class places to visit....
