5 Star Hotels in Bot River, Western Cape

"Charming stay at The Marine where all the staff were so friendly and helpful."

"A gem of a hotel —elegant, comfortable rooms with glorious ocean views. The breakfast are huge and delicious. But what makes the hotel are the staff members . I’ve never been at a hotel were the staff felt like friends who joked with us and cheerfully anticipated our every need. One evening my husband didn’t feel like eating out, so we got some take out from a local restaurant. When they saw us arrive with it, the staff immediately got plates and cutlery and glasses for us and set us up in the...

"golf couse , and rooms very good service has to be better"

"Ideally located in central Hermanus with easy access to everything "

"Unbelievable and amazing stay/experience at this property. Ideally located on the Main Street in Franschhoek so walking distance to most restaurants/bars. The hotel staff were so attentive and lovely they couldn’t do enough for you. Already planning to come back for our next stay "

"We stayed at Mont Rochelle for the second stop of our honeymoon. We had previously come from Cape Town, and it was an easy one hour ish drive/Uber into Franschhoek. This place is absolutely gorgeous!!! We came during the winter months and the sunset over the vineyards and mountains were stunning. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The customer service here was top of the line. We were checked in by Peter and he helped us map our the activities and transportation required...

"The only disappointment was a lack of a fridge in the room, that would have made it perfect."

"Brilliant all round but especially the warmth and friendliness of the staff"

"We fell in love with Leeu House. The staff were so friendly and so helpful - preempting our needs before we even asked. Going above and beyond to help us with reservations (including a last minute request to help us find somewhere to watch the sunset!). The grounds are absolutely beautiful, as are the rooms. Feels like a little sanctuary but still walking distance from all the best restaurants, galleries and the wine tram. Highly highly recommend. Only thing is we wish the pool was heated!"

"Very average place but comes with a very high price. Standards not up to the price being charged. Attention to the little things missing. Definitely not worth over Euro 300 per night! Bathroom towels old and fraying. No back-up power for repeated load-shedding (even 3-star hotels in Cape Town / Graaf-Reinett / Kruger Park / across South Africa now have full solar invertor - back-up generators installed!). Bed too short (and I am average height - my feet hang over end which last happened to me...

"Well equipped rooms set in lovely gardens in Franschhoek valley. Complimentary shuttle service to town. Very good breakfast Bikes on site to rent and explore the nearby vineyards."

"Our first stay at Leeu estates did not disappoint. We have stayed at several other properties in the area and this one just sneaks to the prime position, as our new favourite. Very peaceful, luxurious, great service, wonderful dining options, fabulous rooms and amenities. Staff were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful. The grounds are immaculate and the views of the mountains and the surrounding area, really do make for a wonderful backdrop for a peaceful stay. We thoroughly...

"Stayed here 2/19/24 through 2/21. Location and property are absolutely beautiful, but unwalkable from downtown Franschhoek, so you'll need a rental car or us their recommended taxi service via Whatsapp if you plan to drink lots of wine. Uber was not reliable in this area. The staff were very nice and the breakfast options were good, but limited. I would highly recommend this location. "

"from our welcome to departure we loved every moment, did not want to leave after 3 nights beautiful small hotel. intimate quiet. the rooms are simply gorgeous and the staff gentle attentive warm professional and caring. a soecial treat . Shee and Dids "

"Very nice property with welcoming friendly staff. Excellent food and wine and gives you the feeling that it is home away from home. "

"No restaurant, breakfast only but lovely people amazing views. They will look after you but not much in the way locally so be prepared to order Uber-eats. A bit isolated, rooms clean and quite quaint. Aircon, beds and showers all lovely. So little there reception not open for long but WhatsApp group allows you to stay in contact. "

"These apartments are perfectly positioned within a short walk of Hermanus town centre with all f its charm and eating places. Very well equipped and in great condition, they are very comfortable."

"Wonderful place to stay- just a shame it was for one night only. Staff extremely helpful"

"The room was spacious and the bathroom we had was almost as big as the rest of the room. The team were amazing - able to handle requests at last minute, the breakfast was delicious. The bar was well stocked, loved the honour system concept. Very close to the high street, but far enough away for the noise. "

"Sad to leave but thrilled to have stayed at Akademie. However we do have unfinished business so we will be back, that is certain. Our room was just exceptional: spacious, well equipped and the staff fired up the balcony hottub based on our return time, you might think a hottub in the glorious weather we had, but yes…. To sit there for 30 minutes and just stare at the mountains and the blue sky above was magical. The breakfasts either served in the orangery of pool side were a taste bud delight....
