Recently returned from a 3 night stay at these apartments and we had a great stay in apartment 6. It was modern, clean and bang in the centre of Franschhoek town. The check in was the quickest ever and room was ready for us despite arriving early. The facilities were great and bed comfy - didn’t want to leave the place and wouldn’t hesitate to book when visiting again 😀

Well located and excellent service on arrival. The apartment we had needed some renovation - toilet door handle fell off and the skirting around the kitchen area wasn't fixed. However overall the property is lovely and has all the amenities needed for any length of stay

lovely and central!

It was wonderful and not the first time staying at the Ivy. It is literally off the main street. Great space. Just a couple of things - no bulbs in bedside lamp and bedding feather, even after calling reception and being told of course it is not (my sister is slightly allergic, I love feather bedding). Otherwise, really great place to stay. I'd suggest more coffee pods and perhaps a description of what type of coffee is in the various pods. Thank you

Lovely apartment in great location

We stayed here for a couple of nights for our visit to Franschhoek. Apartment 5 was lovely and more than we needed. It had 2 bedrooms- a large one on the mezzanine level with a large bathroom and a smaller double room on the ground level with a smaller shower room. The kitchen had all the things you need inc washing machine, espresso machine, large fridge freezer. There was also a large tv in the lounge area and wifi. There is a (very) small pool area, but I don't think it gets the sun much. The location is fantastic- right in the heart of Franschhoek, a short walk to all restaurants and the wine tram office.

Good. Location But

Because of a local dispute the patio was off limits which curtailed employment of the flat considerably. The tv had no remote control so subtitles were not available. No good for someone with hearing difficulties. Various things were broken e.g. Light fitting. Towel rail. Could do with some maintenance. Best was location with secure car parking in centre of town.

Spacious modern apartment

Very clean and modern apartment (number2) in great central location. Although it had two bedrooms, the master was in a loft so open to noise etc from below. Ok for us as we were only a couple! Lots of light coming into apartment so take eyeshades if this bothers you. Had one terrace opening onto the light well - so not a pleasant place to sit. The larger terrace was unfortunately barred from use and was surrounded by high screens anyway so no views.

Great apartment right in the village centre

Stunning apartment, well equipped and located for easy walking around Franschoek. Luxury design and service with 2 great balconies to enjoy the weather. Only downside was noise from the nearby road but worth it for central location.

We find the location excellent. The apartments are well stocked with kitchenware and now have a plunge pool which is welcome on hot days. Staff are very obliging.
