Fantastic hotel. Amazing room. Large, comfy and all amenities you need. Breakfast was great. Lovely to have it all brought to you at your table. Great shower. Near everything. Conrad and staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Nice touch with bubbly, candles and dessert for our wedding anniversary. If you’re in this area stay here.

A lovely boutique hotel in Franscheok, which was delightful to stay, and the staff made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay and take in the sights, and wine tasting experiences.

A first-class stay with outstanding service! Franklin and all the staff went the 'extra mile' to ensure we were looked after. Our room/suite was beautiful and the bathroom was particularly spacious and impressive. The only minor disappointment was the quality of the breakfast which we felt did not match the high quality of everything else. The hotel is in a great location for exploring Franschhoek; we enjoyed some lovely shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, all within walking distance. Thanks to all at The Last Word for a wonderful stay. Read less
