I was made to feel very welcome even before arriving. I was relocating from Johannesburg to Cape Town for work and Francolin's Rest was the perfect place to make the transition; home away from home. The environment is exactly like it is described. Constantia is an exclusive neighbourhood of cape Town and is absolutely quiet and extremely safe. It provides a restful place to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and to relax and feel at home. My room was well furnished with a very comfortable bed and personal space. The amenities such as shower and bathroom have modern finishes and is well kept, and clean and tidy. The whole experience was more than desirable.

I enjoy cooking for myself and I was suitable impressed by the very large kitchen that is extremely well kitted out (you may even receive an extremely hospitable meal once or twice if you are fortunate enough). You are felt to feel at home with more than enough space.

My host was extremely hospitable and accommodating and always willing to help out with suggestions on how to improve your stay in Cape Town and how to integrate into the cape Town way of life. You can be assured that you will become a local very quickly.

I can also highly recommend Francolin's Rest for holidays. It is ideally situated for access to the wine-lands of Constantia as well as an easy drive to Franschoek and Stellenbosch wine estates. In addition, you can easily get to Cape Point, Boulders Beach Penguins, Kalk Bay and the trendy spots in the city bowl and the amazing beaches on the Atlantic sea board. You will not be short of scenic drives and amazing views.

A must stay with a touch of class!
