A lovely stay in a lovely historic Franschoek house. Elsa welcomed us with open arms and made our stay an absolute delight. The house is situated in a nice quiet part of the town but very close to all the restaurants.

A very perfect accommodation with short walking distance to many restaurants and to the wine tram. Excellent and fresh breakfast. Very nice host by Jaco & Elsa. Shower facilities not ideal every day but an eye catchet.

Wonderful cozy and well equipped bedroom. Situated in the center of town within walking distance of all amenities and restaurants. Neat and clean heritage homestead run by exceptional people. We were there during the devastating floods of September that left the town cut off the outside world and with no electricity or water for days. Magnificent hosts Jaco, Elsa and their daughter Eldorette kept us cosy and supplied outstanding and delicious meals to their stranded guests. We all left as close friends with wonderful memories.

Amazingly central location and very large and comfortable bed. We had an excellent farm-style fry-up breakfast in the morning and Else, her husband and her team of staff were all so hospitable. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Elsa and Jaco are an extremely caring couple. We have been there before and will return again. The premises are absolutely typical of Franschoek and the surroundings. With all the modern facilities. The breakfast is superb The staff are very friendly. We will definitely recommend staying at Centre Ville. It is positioned in a very convenient place to explore the exceptionally beautiful town of historical Franschoek and its surrounds.
