The Last Word - as before this was a fabulous base to enjoy Franschhoek and the surrounding area. The service and quality of the rooms is amazing and we were lucky enough to get one of their pool suites which had been refurbished after the flood that had closed the place for 6 months. We would unreservedly recommend this place to anyone, it is a very special hotel.
