Incredible guest house in a perfect location. 5 minute walk from the wine tram. The rooms are stunning and service is impeccable. We came for our honeymoon and would recommend to everyone. Beautiful pool area and near to lots of restaurants.

My husband and I were part of a group of 8 friends who stayed at The Last Word. It was my husband's and my second stay there. It is a luxurious boutique hotel in a very central location in Franschhoek, yet it is very quiet. Almost everything is within walking distance. The rooms are large and luxurious. Some have heated bathroom floors. Our room was a little smaller than our friends' rooms, but we had our own outdoor seating area. The hotel also has a large common area upon entering the hotel, and an honor bar with a wide variety of wine, beer, spirits and juice and water, for those who want to be a little healthier! There are also areas to sunbathe, sit with friends and chat with other guests on their second level. My husband and I woke up too late to enjoy breakfast each day, but our friends all commented on how good it was. With your room comes access to a well-equipped gym a two minute walk away, so I took full advantage of that one day to try and burn off 500 of the 1 million calories I had previously consumed on the trip! The manager we primarily interacted with during our stay was Franklin, and I dare anyone to find a kinder and more gentle man. Our entire group loved him. Conrad came on shift in the afternoon of our last day there, and we wish we had stayed longer to get to him him better as well. I would highly recommend anyone staying in Franschhoek to stay at The Last Word! Read less

This was the first stop on our honeymoon and it's safe to say it couldn't have been a better one. Arriving here after a long journey felt like stepping into a little oasis of calm, and instantly Conrad and his colleagues made us feel so welcome and at home. They were there with assistance, travel tips, smiles and some lovely special touches. We… Read more

The Last Word was absolutely outstanding. We stayed for 2 nights in Room 2. From the moment we arrived at the gates in our car, to the moment we left, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Room wise we had a pool suite, which exceeded all expectations. The shared areas were beautifully decorated and a good place to sit, in the evenings,… Read more

Breakfast was superb, possibly one of the best I've had anywhere. Read less
