A beautiful place with excellent hosts

This place is absolutely stunning. The cottage had such a lovely relaxing feel to it, the host had gone to a lot of effort with lots of little additional extras that gave it a perfect finishing touch. The hosts are incredibly professional, welcoming and the breakfast was unbelievable! I would have loved to have stayed another night.

Only a minor thing, the TV wasnt logged into any accounts like Netflix to watch a movie as it was raining but no big deal.

Great stay at Cottage 55

Very beautiful room with every detail well thought. Lovely areas to sit in the garden. The B&B is just a short walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. Safe parking. Breakfast is outstanding - every morning beautifully presented with a special delicious surprise. Very friendly and welcoming hosts.

Lovely cottage room, great guests and savory breakfast

We have loved our stay at the cottage. The room is very confortable, well decorated and has everything you need. The rest of the property with the gardens are a great environment to be in. The hosts were very friendly and prepared a savory breakfast. Everything was perfect! We do highly recommend this accommodation.

Perfect location & perfect hosts!

Our stay at the Cottage on 55 was perfect! The room is gorgeous as is the whole property and the location is just a short walking distance to lots of cute bars and restaurants. The breakfast was incredible and Erna & Guido were the perfect hosts. We were only passing through for 1 night but would have loved to have stayed for more!

Nothing - we would have loved to stay for longer!

An oasis of calm in a busy rural town.

Excellent breakfasts, cooked by the owner, which are different every day are served in the beautiful garden. The owners of the B & B are from Holland and charming. They have a very positive attitude towards South Africa and have brought their children up there. They kindly made us a packed lunch to take with us on our flight home which was really appreciated as we had a crack of dawn flight and the food on Virgin airlines is truly terrible. The cottage on 55 is very handy for the high street and for transport to the wine tram. It is a gorgeous spot. Franschhooek is in a stunning setting and there's lots to do in and around the town. The Cottage on 55 is an oasis of calm in which to relax after a busy day, with a garden filled with beautiful flowers, attracting many birds. We loved the swimming pool. Franschhoek is a great place.

The curtains were a bit thin so the light comes in very early. The snacks provided in the room were rather unhealthy and not local to South Africa. We would have preferred Biltong etc to have been on offer. Although we didn't mind, the bathroom is open plan to the bedroom.

A paradise within a paradise

A paradise within a paradise! Franschhoek itself is pretty nice and for all wine lovers a paradies. But we immediately felt at home, when we arrived at the Cottage on 55. The hosts are super nice and helpful, the garden is amazing and the room is more than a room, it is a 360 degrees wellbeing place with so many nice and well chosen details, that you immediately settle in and relax. The water quality is excellent from the tub. For me, the best water I ever drank. But this on a side-note.

If I really look hard and try to find something, than I could complain about the bathroom door not closing easily. But come on....this is really a forced effort to find at least a small negative thing. We will definitely come back!

Absolutely fantastic spot in Franschhoek! The accommodation is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable and clean. The location is great, as it walking distance to the main street and close to the wine tram terminal. The breakfast was excellent every day, always beautifully presented and with a different surprise of the day (main course) each morning. Erna and Guido were very welcoming and attentive hosts who made us feel right at home from the start. We would highly recommend booking to stay here when in Franschhoek!

Wonderful guest house & owners

At the centre of Franschhoek a very nice and cosy little (2 room) guest house. We stayed in family and it was great. The owners are super cool and interesting, we had great discussions and learned a lot about the country, the region and wine. And great breakfast. The owners are also very engaged in local activities!
