Cathy and her team were extremely welcoming and the personal touches from the way your gorgeous room was prepared, to the homemade rusks and scones at the breakfast table all made for a surprisingly indulgent solo trip for me. Being a Capetonian myself, I felt enough of a sense of luxury at Goodings Groves to feel as if I was... More

The guest lodge is a wonderful place. Good service and very quiet. Spending the day in Cape Town and coming back in the evening to this charming quiet place, is holiday pure. The breakfast was good. A special highlight was the owner lady which was very friendly and special. She managed to give this place a special touch, also in... More

This place is so easy to find - on the left, 3km before Franschhoek on the R45. A drawback is the long potholed drive through the olive forests, with the branches overhanging the drive, and almost scratching the paintwork of my rented car. I would have preferred to be within walking distance of the many restaurants, but this was mitigated... More

We arrived into Franschhoek and found the B&B easily on the dark road into the village, situated around 5 mins out from the centre by car.  Having drove up to the main house, we were greeted by Cathy with wine and olives, then shown to our room. The bedrooms are all accessed externally from the house, our room was on... More

Goodings is a lovely place to stay while in Franschhoek. It's is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The rooms are delightful and light and airy. The breakfast is very abundant and delicious. The most wonderful thing is having a glass of wine with olives picked from the farm, I've never had better. The pool is wonderful oasis from the sun... More

We had planned to stay at Akkerdal, but something went wrong with our booking. We've slept one night at Gooding's Groves instead and loved it. The room was really nice, the pool a pleasant surprise and the breakfast was wonderful. Thanks for having us. Arthur & Vera

From the initial welcome through to evenings in the lounge with a glass of complimentary house wine, a delicious and beautifully presented breakfast, our stay was wonderful. Mareaze is a charming, knowledgeable and helpful manager and her staff friendly and obliging - and the best omelette makers ever! Take her advice on which wineries to visit and you wont go... More
