No. 6 The Yard

Loved the location and Vivianne was very helpful and accommodating.

Nothing that I disliked

The location is exceptional, the hosts very attentive and the apartment very well laid out. We picked up the keys at a nearby vineyard and received very clear instructions on where to park and how to enter the property. When the wifi was not working, the hosts were quick to pop past and fix it. The apartment is very well laid out and provides all required luxuries, it is in the centre of town allowing you to walk to the wine tram, a plethora of incredible restuarants and a variety of shops. It is also a short walk to the Saturday market. The views of the mountains from the windows are breathtaking.

Getting into the parking is quite tight, especialy if you have a big car. The apartment is centrally located so we were disturbed by a couple of late night revellers on two ocassions - it did not prevent us from getting a good nights rest though.

Location, location, location! The apartment is tastefully furnished, spacious, very well equipped and in the perfect location. The small inner courtyard has a bar, cafe & restaurant. Supermarket is a quick stroll away and there are more eateries just around the corner. Being just off the Main Street running through Franschoek, the apartment is quiet & peaceful whilst still in the hustle & bustle of town life. Don’t hesitate. Book!

Nothing not to like.

Big apartment and plenty of space and good facilities. Owners are friendly and communicate well.

Compared to photos on Booking.com, the apartment is "tired" - needs a new 3 piece suite. Apartment is in a small square with two restaurants and there is music blaring out till very late at night - if you want peace and quiet or any early night, this is not the place for you! Booking.com shows an external balcony and sitting area - there isn't one!!! There is no Dstv for sports coverage or any other TV channels. I streamed films from my smartphone from Netflix - no other options and as I follow sport, the lack of Dstv is a big minus - most other places have Dstv! Also, there is no power backup, except for the Internet, during power cuts (5 per day and quite often in the evening, so you can't watch TV. Power cuts are not the responsibility of the owner, but backup facilities are (e.g. a power supply for TV would allow streaming during evening power cuts/load shedding).. I had to pick the keys up from another property that, on a busy main road, was difficult to find - the reason for this that the key Dropbox outside the apartment is too small and the gate remote control will not fit in - change the Dropbox to avoid customer in convenience is the answer!
