Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Franschhoek

We stayed at Villa Stellendal for almost 8 weeks and felt at home: Tommy welcomed us warmly, instructed us and asked about our well-being every day. Our good fairy Miriam also always ensured fresh laundry, flowers and cleanliness in our beautiful home. The villa is cozy, everything is available, the kitchen is well equipped, there is a smart TV with Netflix and the pool provides regular refreshments and a Jacuzzi for relaxation. The villa is secluded and therefore very private. The location is central yet quiet. For all requests and questions, the reception with Anneke, Cindy and Hannah is also staffed daily and open and helpful for all requests and questions. Even if there were small deficits or repairs, Tommy was available daily and quickly and easily remedied the deficiencies. It was very difficult for us to say goodbye, but we will see all the lovely people again in October 2025.

This spot is the perfect place to tour the surrounding wine country. The home was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Lindsay was an incredible host with brilliant communication, she made us feel right at home. Would definitely go back the next time I’m in the area.

Beautiful home, lovely pool, location was perfect, we could walk easily into the centre and a short drive to many lovely vineyards. House was well equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Elaine was very easy to communicate with and check in / check out was straight forward. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at this beautiful house in a fantastic setting in Stellenbosch. Mitford and Ilsa couldn’t have been friendlier, and the house and pool were the perfect base for our group to explore the winelands. We’d be delighted to come back!

Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had staying at a property. From Maryna the host who was an absolute pleasure to deal with, down to the breathtaking property. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were really sad to leave when our trip ended. Would definitely look to stay here again!

We had a great time at Sandy’s place! The house is beautiful and feels very spacious, with amazing views of Cape Town and the mountains. Sandy gave us plenty of instructions that were easy to follow, and personally met us to welcome us in. We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again!

Narine was a fantastic host who communicated exceptionally well, making the check-in process seamless. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, even taking the time to share the loadshedding schedule to help us plan our stay more comfortably. The property is a peaceful and welcoming space, home to a variety of animals, which adds to its charm. However, guests should remain vigilant when driving on the premises to ensure the safety of the animals and those around them. Overall, a wonderful stay with a thoughtful and attentive host—we would highly recommend it!

We had a lovely stay! The house was huge, perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids. It was very convenient being next to the winery where we were attending a wedding. And walking distance from gorgeous hiking!

Our second stay at Mariza's. Will use her facilities again.

The stay at the villa was very wonderful and the owner of the villa, Catherine, was very kind and helpful. The villa is private and has everything you need.

The house was beautiful. Lovely surroundings. Lovely outside area to sit in. Spacious house. Comfortable beds. Everything we needed for our stay. Very friendly and helpful host.

Delightful and excellent location. We had a great and comfortable stay. The manager Fabian was also very responsive and helpful in every aspect. We would love to come back and perhaps try one of your other cottage’s. Thanks for sharing your incredible space and surroundings.

We had an amazing stay! The apartment is beautiful with breathtaking views. Our host was very kind and responsive. We will definitely stay here again.

Champion spot and quality everything!

Antoinette was a fantastic host, very easy check in and check out procedure. Will definitely stay here again!

We only stay one night at Marlize's place, but we had a we love how spacious and modern it is

The accommodation was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet with an amazing garden and wonderful bird life. Thera was a gracious host and made us feel welcome and at home. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a bit of tranquility and serenity.

Marcia's place is a must stay if in the area. Absolutely stunning views of the dam and mountains. The cottage lacked nothing and the terrace sitting area was so peaceful. Would highly recommend it!

Very nice place to stay. Maybe a warning that other people are on horses around the farm and the dam is not very accessible or easy to swim in.

What a peaceful place definitely coming back

We had the most lovely stay at Lalapanzi, the cabin exceeded our expectations and the surroundings and views were so beautiful and tranquil! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you to the hosts for your hospitality!

We really enjoyed our stay with David and Bonnie. The cabin is a true log cabin. We don’t see this often in South Africa. Everything was lovely. So peaceful and comfortable. They have a lovely dog, Chicco. He was very welcoming. The garden is beautiful. Such a lovely place. David gave us insights on where to go and things to do. Thank you, David and Bonnie, for a great stay.

Lovely location right by the beach with loads of shops and restaurants nearby. The house was lovely and very clean, had all the basics and is surrounded by other residence but still very secluded which we loved. Nolene was very friendly and helpful from beginning to end.

Carol was a very gracious host always making sure we were ok and if we needed anything just to let her know .She was open and forth coming .Her place is a little paradise up against the mountain, and very family friendly as there were animals and a pool with pool table and fuse ball for the kids .The chill area is very inviting with lots of seating ,a braai area close to the pool ,with 3 fire places scattered and lots of pretty lighting. The cabin was very comfortable and had all and more than was needed for self catering . She is a thoughtful host and very creative with her decor. I would definitely recommend staying at her place.
