The property and especially the cottage 14 was absolutely fabulous. Loved everything at the cottage: the surroundings, the view, the fireplace. The cottage was beautifully decorated. Didn't get time to enjoy the swimming pool and the huge outside fireplace.

Situated in the quiet corner of the estate, the country house’s spa has treatment rooms, each with a terrace opening out onto the vineyards. Guests can enjoy a variety of therapies, as well as a glass of cold ice tea.

Tranquility and spending quality time are the main things we were looking for and that is exactly what we got. Beautiful views, away from our usual busy city life. The place was clean, great staff - very welcoming. We felt like we were part of the family and the team made great suggestions on local restaurants to visit for dinner. The complimentary wine tasting and wine in our suite were highly appreciated. We did not feel the impact of loadshedding because the house had a back up power supply. The second day of our stay was a cold day but we had wine and a fire place in our suite to make everything alright.

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Chambray Estate - The Terraces in the Vines is a recently renovated bed and breakfast situated in Franschhoek, 32 km from Boschenmeer Golf Course. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast features mountain views, a year-round outdoor pool, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Nestled in the serene outskirts of Franschhoek Cape Town, lies a hidden gem of hospitality and charm - the Chambray Estate - The Terraces in the Vines bed and breakfast. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm welcome that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The first thing that struck us was the breathtaking view of the Cape Town mountain range and the sprawling farm surrounding the property. It was a picture-perfect scene that instantly soothed the soul. Our room was cozy and meticulously decorated, with every detail carefully thought out to ensure comfort and relaxation. But the real highlight of our stay was the breakfast. Oh, what a breakfast it was! The English breakfast served was nothing short of spectacular, with each element cooked to perfection. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon crisp, and the sausages bursting with flavor. And let's not forget the omelette - a culinary masterpiece that left us craving for more, its called the “special order” as their little help Cindy would say. But it wasn't just the food that made our mornings special; it was also the ambiance in which it was served. We dined al fresco on the patio, basking in the morning sunlight and soaking in the panoramic views of the mountains and the farm below. It was a truly magical experience that made each mealtime a memorable affair. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the gracious hospitality of our hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness throughout our stay. From recommending the best local attractions to sharing stories about life on the farm, they made us feel like cherished friends rather than mere guests. In conclusion, our time at the Chambray Estate - The Terraces in the Vines Bed and Breakfast was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of exceptional food, breathtaking views, and warm hospitality made it a stay we'll cherish for years to come.

    The location is excellent. Before the busy main street of Franschhoek, but still very close to everything, a little piece of heaven. Quiet, peaceful with the sounds of nature all around. The wind in the trees, the little river running in front of the cottage and the lovely bird song. The swimming pool to cool down in, after a walk through the surrounding vineyards, the fire place in the cool evenings and the clean, comfy, cottage. The coffee machine and delicious rusks, where an extra bonus. Thank you Michelle, it was wonderful.

    The site is in a wonderful location, surrounded by mountains with so much space within the estate itself, we stayed in the retreat cottages, across the road from the main site, but so peaceful, with a willing mini bus ready to take you around as needed. We hired bikes, went hiking, wine tasting, had some amazing meals and the kids had a ball. Breakfast was great, lots of choice cooked fresh and served not far from the rooms. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to return, thank you to everyone who made our stay.

Jesse the owner and Maga the manager were very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice breakfast with a view.

    Lisa and the team hosted us for two nights at their stunning guest house and we had such a lovely time. Great location - only a short walk from the town, and beautiful gardens with mountain views. Even when fully booked, the guest house feels so quiet and peaceful and we had the pool to ourselves whenever we wanted to use it. A very relaxing stay and perfect for anyone enjoying the wine region!
