La Fontaine is conveniently situated in a street behind the main street of central Franschoek. Despite being near to the centre of the town, the guest house remains quiet and peaceful at all times. Being centrally located means that it is only a short walk to one of the many of the town`s restaurants. We enjoyed greatly the French Connection... more

Travelling for a month with two young children is never easy, but our 4 night stay at La Fontaine Guesthouse was absolutely stress free! Our Family Room (double bedroom/bathroom/lounge area with 2 single beds and small kitchenette) was very nice, comfortable and spotlessly clean. And the pillows were lovely! What a relief to finally wake up without a neckache! We... more

I booked 4 nights at the end of February for my wife & I & a number of friends from Ulster visiting the Wineries. I was very concerned before arrival to read the contributor’s remarks about rudeness & cockroaches: an unholy combination. We found the place to be spotless, and there were absolutely no cockroaches. We were all absolutely delighted... more

Stayed here for two nights and was given the Lemon room near the pool. Setting for the room was amazing. We checked in ok and was led to our room and I felt there was not much customer service compared to the other hotels we had stayed in. The owner seemed extremely busy and was quite rude to us. Location... more

During the summer when the weather conditions are right, crickets - black chirping insects arrive. As Lemon garden room opens out onto the garden area, crickets will fly in when the doors are left open. We are fastidious regarding cleanliness and these insects were definitely crickets It is our policy to make every guest's stay at la Fontaine a pleasant...

This gem of a place was the lodging highlight of our visit to ZA. wonderful service, gorgeously put together with all the amenities one would require or desire, the view from our first room was quite romantic with entry onto collective balcony for long reflective periods enjoying said view of Franschoeks distinctive landscape. We did have a slight mishap in... more

My husband, 2 year old son and I stayed for 4 nights at La Fontaine in Nov 07. This was based on other Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed. It is a beautiful property, located just one street back from the main street in Franschhoek. We were located in the Orange Suite, which is a self contained unit right by... more

To endorse the other recent reviews, this is a great place to stay. My wife and I spent 2 nights here in Oct 07. We had a spacious room in the main house which was very comfortable. Breakfasts were very good and Kathie and her staff provide a warm welcome and good service. Kathie was good enough to book 2... more

This is a beautiful guesthouse set in the heart of the town of Franschhoek - one of the main tourist towns in the Western Cape Wine Region of South Africa (not far from Stellenbosch and about 45 mins drive from Cape Town itself). *Large rooms, comfortably and homely decorated with air conditioning and fans *Some rooms are in their own... more

La Fontaine Guest House is tucked away on a quite street that runs parallel to the Franschhoek Main Road. It is sign posted and very easy to find. It is a great location as it is literally a 2 to 5 minute amble from the main shops and restaurants. The main house is a very attractive and well presented building.... more
