Breakfast draws repeated praise for quality, variety, and cooked to order options. Facilities include a pleasant outdoor pool and reliable backup power that keeps lights and internet working during load shedding. A few guests mentioned minor drawbacks such as some noise or a bathroom fan request. Expect a polished, relaxing stay with thoughtful touches.

The friendly staff helped make this a spectacular stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the town and wineries. The location was excellent and the beds were great. We didn't try it, but we were told one of the swimming pools was bathtub warm.

I almost never leave a review but I couldn’t ignore this place. The property is very nice but what truly makes this outstanding is the staff, and really at all levels. From how we could park early in the morning to only check in in the afternoon, to how our little note about vegan breakfast if possible was fully noted with multiple options provided! You feel like a regular guest in a small caring hotel.

Would 100% recommend and will definitely return for a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Fontaine - the rooms were clean and modern. Comfortable bed, and a wonderful shower. Our rooms were downstairs around shared courtyard, where the doors opened up next to the pool. The staff were absolutely amazing and were so happy to help with all manner of requests. Breakfast was part buffet, part al a carte - we were impressed every day with the quality of the food. There are nice areas to eat for breakfast (inside and outside). The bar was very nicely decorated and comfortable for drinks, games, watching sport.. The hotel site felt very secure - for parking, and personally. Close to Franschhoek town - the restaurants and shops are just a walk away. Very convenient. Worth noting that the hotel has a back up generator so during load shedding, we were able to use ample electricity in the rooms - and the bar area was fully functioning (critical for sporting events).

A true gem. This is my new go-to place for the first (and second) night in Cape Town. Most international flights arrive in the early morning and commercial downtown hotels do not let you check in before 3 pm. Most of us are exhausted. So make your way to Franschhoek against traffic and stop at some wineries on the way. Then rest at La Fontaine. Many fine restaurants within 0.5 miles. Lovely breakfast and exceptional service.

Would 100% recommend and will definitely return for a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Fontaine - the rooms were clean and modern. Comfortable bed, and a wonderful shower. Our rooms were downstairs around shared courtyard, where the doors opened up next to the pool. The staff were absolutely amazing and were so happy to help with all manner of requests. Breakfast was part buffet, part al a carte - we were impressed every day with the quality of the food. There are nice areas to eat for breakfast (inside and outside). The bar was very nicely decorated and comfortable for drinks, games, watching sport.. The hotel site felt very secure - for parking, and personally. Close to Franschhoek town - the restaurants and shops are just a walk away. Very convenient. Worth noting that the hotel has a back up generator so during load shedding, we were able to use ample electricity in the rooms - and the bar area was fully functioning (critical for sporting events).

Charming place with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was great, staff helped us with recommendations, packing wine bottles, arranging transport. Beds were comfy and room was quiet. Nice lounge area where we could hang out for a bit after check out. Would definitely stay here again.
