"We have stayed here on numerous occasions and it's is always a pleasure to be welcomed back by Marlicia, Louis and the team who maintain the house and grounds immaculately. We wouldn't consider staying anywhere else whilst in Franschhoeck except Grand Plaisir of course. Peaceful location a short easy walk to the bustling high street with its restaurants and bars."
