Clean spacious accommodation in good location. The pool and garden were well maintained and pleasant. What let it down was the breakfasts. There are a lot of good bakeries around but we were served ultra processed cheap bread. No jams or butter on the table. It just lacked a few touches which would have made it very good.

Fabulous property set behind secure gates with onsite parking. Close to The Wine Tram and walking distance to Franschhoek. Lovely contemporary spacious bedroom with modern sculptures and beautiful pictures. Lovely comfortable bed with fluffy towels and nice toiletries. Breakfasts each morning were delicious which set us up for the rest of the day. Good, healthy choices of hot and cold selections. All made to order. Very friendly staff and very helpful host. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly Recommended.

We had an amazing stay here. The place.is lovely and the staff were brilliant. It was so comfortable! We had spent the day on the wine tram, which was lovely. The room was exceptional - it was so comfortable and generously sized. The breakfast was delicious and service great. Would definitely return if we go back to the area.

Great stay

We had a fantastic stay at Residence Vive La Vie. We were warmly greeted upon our early arrival and were very happy that they were able to have our room ready (after a very long flight). Our cottage was spacious and well appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the center of town, very convenient. The breakfast was phenomenal, fresh cut fruit and made to order dishes prepared by some talented chefs every day. Highly recommend!

All the rooms are different but all are good-sized. Our room has double bathroom sinks, a large shower, a chaise lounge in addition to two armchairs. Very comfy. The breakfasts are excellent! Their so-called mini-continental is big enough to fill up most people: fresh baked muffin, croissant, fresh fruit, cheeses& meats, yogurt, juice, coffee. But you can also add eggs Benedict, omelette, shashuska, French toast— all included! We were in the winter but I can see how nice it’d be to enjoy their pool and gardens in the summer. Highly recommend.

Overall a nice stay and will come back. Parking was outside on the street. No option to book inside parking on hotels.com site, but it was safe. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom a little dated showing wear and tear (cracked walls). Breakfast was excellent! Complimentary Netflix and good wifi.
