La Fontaine Boutique Hotel by the Oyster Collection

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and loved the hotel's setting right off the Main Street of Franschhoek. The hotel was incredibly comfortable, they staff was so helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was a great way to start the day. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the winelands!

We know we were in for a treat when we realised that La Fontaine was a sister hotel to Blackheath Lodge in Capetown, where we had spent the previous 5 nights. Part of the Oyster collection, the attention to detail for guest experience, is really impressive. Thay clearly recruit and train to the highest standard. Kim is phenomenal in her concierge role. She recommends and books activities and restaurants, and even provided information for our next destination, Hermanus Bay. Nothing was too much trouble, and the other staff, including Cecilia and Franklyn were also so helpful. The location is good and central to Franschoek town centre. The breakfast patio and room are pretty, with a delicious offering of cake, biscuits, tea and coffee all day. The breakfast options are extensive with fruit, yoghurt, cereals, pastries, meats and cooked dishes. There are two small pools with comfy longers and an extremely inviting sitting room with a fire, where we enjoyed a nightcap. Our room was really comfortable and quiet, with a large, if somewhat quirky bathroom (old pull chain toilet) We cannot recommend this more highly and thank the staff for a really enjoyable stay.

The staff was friendly and so helpful. We had a lovely stay.
