• "Very nice"

  14 February 2011

  "Francolinhof is a very well run, beautiful guest house. I think it is located in one of the prettiest spots in Hermanus with great views of the mountain and the sea. It's close enough to the town without being too close, so it's always nice and quiet here. The breakfasts are amazing, so delicious, and the staff are really friendly and give excellent service. I would highly recommend Francolinhof."

• "High expectations well exceeded"

  14 November 2008

  "What I look for in a guest house is a clean bathroom, a good night's sleep, and a square meal. Francolin excels at the basics. Add to this a few luxuries and wonderfully hospitable hosts Mary and Jean, in a truly magnificent setting, and you can't go wrong."

  "We had a magnificent holiday in wonderful surroundings. Mary and Jean were welcoming and helpful without being obtrusive. All of Mary's recommendations (for restaurants, day trips, wine farms) were excellent. The breakfasts were amazing, as were the rooms and views. As per one of the comments on the guestbook... "a lesson in hospitality". Will recommend this guest house to all our family and friends. "

  16 November 2006

  "This is the best B & B we have ever stayed in - our only regret is that we had booked it for just 1 night on our journey towards Cape Town.The hosts were excellent and the standard of accommodation was out-standing.We had excellent views of the whales in Hermanus Bay from our own bedroom balcony - what more could you ask?!!Breakfast the next morning by the patio was superb.We would definitely recommend this B & B to anyone travelling along the Garden Route - just don't book it for one night only!!!"

• "Our stay in Nov. 2006"

• "Francolinhof Guest House, hospitality & great views!"

  16 September 2006

  "Great service and personal care from the owners of the Francolinhof Guest House made our last days in South Africa very memorable. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, and the view was so great (yes, even from our luxurious bathroom!). <br/><br/>The breakfast was very good and every day a surprise. <br/><br/>But what we will remember most of all was the hospitality of the Jean & Mary Faure and their staff!"

  "you walk out of you bedroom door and are immediately in the mountain where we had access to wonderful walks.After this we sat down for a wonderful breakfast!This is certainly a worthwhile stop in Hermanus and we enjoyed every minute of the 8days we spent here and our host were outstanding!!!"

• "This place has it all!"

  13 December 2005

  "Furnished in style and providing maximum comfort and hospitality. Your hosts could not be more helpful and accommodating. The location suited us perfectly as it was close to a splendid beach and cliff walks with magnificent views. The centre is only a short drive away and advice on where best to dine is available and, in our experience, always sound. "

• "Holiday Review"

  25 November 2005

  "Mary, the owner of FrancolinHof Guest House was extremely welcoming and very friendly, as was her husband - a really nice smiley face on our arrival.The accommodation is truly superb - very classy and tasteful - all new since July 2005.The bedroom and bathroom are stunning, the crisp sheets fabulous.The personal touches are lovely i.e. a glass of port on your return to the guest house in the evening, the chocolates on your pillow, the homemade cakes on the tea tray in the bedroom - all so very welcome and certainly not expected.The view from the dining room is lovely whilst having breakfast.Mary was so excited for us, once we'd managed to spot the whales in the bay!I'd have no hesitation in recommending this guest house."
