Detailed Reviews
We had a wonderful trip to Bo La Motte Farm Cottages. The location was excellent, and the views absolutely breathtaking. The rooms were impeccably clean and the host communicated all details up front and was extremely helpful in accommodating our late arrival and request for a camping cot for our little one.

Loved Pear Cottage. It has a beautiful view over the dam.
The cottage was well appointed with a fully equipped kitchen. There is a small braai/bbq on the porch.
The main bedroom had a king size bed which was very comfortable and crisp, clean white bedding. The second bedroom was quite small but had 2 twin beds.
The bathroom had a shower and a bath which was great for being able to bath my toddler.
The location is fantastic. Only 900m out of town! Easy walk to town.

Had a super stay at BoLa Motte Farm. Perfect for kids as they can run around or cycle the entire property and be free. Massive dams for some bass fishing even though we didn't catch any. The screenary is stunning next to Huegonot Monument and at the edge of the mountain. It is only a 10min walk to town. The host and especially Issie were fantastic. Wood set out int he fire place each day and to get extra was not too expensive. It has eveything you need for the family and plenty of heating for winter. Must be super beautiful in Summer and will definitely try it then.

We spent 2 nights my mother and I mid week. The cottage is big with everything you need and the rooms have comfortable beds with electric blankets. Bathrooms are big with shower and bath in one. Nice fire place in the lounge and of course the patio overlooking the vines. We loved of our stay and would definitely recommend Bo Lamotte.

We recently stayed at Pear Tree cottage, which was a wonderful experience. The cottage is in a secluded location overlooking the lake and mountains to the front, and vineyards and more mountains to the rear! It felt very private and peaceful yet was only a short walk/few minutes drive from the centre of Franschhoek.
The cottage was extremely well equipped, with a spacious open plan living area and a covered verandah which included a braai (BBQ) and tools. There was also an open patio with sunloungers. There were a couple of local bottles of wine (additional reasonable cost) in the fridge on our arrival. We spent the first evening having a braai and listening to the birds and cicadas - a real South African experience!
There is also a children's climbing frame and a pool onsite, a short walk from the cottage.
Christelle, the manager, was very friendly and extremely helpful both before arrival and during our stay. She accommodated a request for early check-in (a member of my party wasn't well).
We absolutely loved our stay here, and if I could award 6 stars, I would!

We loved everything about this place. The cottages are very private with a good amount of outside space. Ours overlooked vineyards and the mountains which was lovely for eating outside. The cottage was very comfortable, with a large open plan living and kitchen area. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also lovely. We stayed with our baby and a cot and high chair were provided. The farm is about 2 minutes drive from the main street in Franshooek and you could easily walk.
Sadly we had to leave a couple of days early due to coronavirus, which was a real shame. Maybe we’ll have the chance to come back one day...

Such a beautiful place and a memorable stay. Well kept, nice view and feel of nature. We just enjoyed it so much and would love to go back.
The cottage we stayed in had a modern farmhouse feel, nicely appointed rooms that works well if you travel as a family or as a couple.

This was our 4th stay at Bo La Motte Cottages and once again it did not disappoint. From the friendly arrival procedure to our efficient departure, the service by Christelle was truly excellent.Nothing was too much trouble and extra wood and charcoal, at a small charge, was easily arranged. The cottages are spacious, well equipped and furnished (hansgrohe fittings to kitchen and bathrooms!). Great location, an easy 15 min walk into Franschhoek. Excellent place to stay.

Bo La Motte is situated just outside the center of the busy village of Franshoek in the western cape. The self catering cottages are on a working farm positioned overlooking vineyards and man made dams with plenty of mature trees.The cottages are fully equipped including a wood fire heater which we needed due to a sudden cold spell. The staff were very helpful and informative. My wife and I will definitely make use of these facility in future and can recommend the accommodation highly.

This is a great location away from the noise of Franschhoek traffic, very peaceful. A 15 minute walk into town. The owners have negated the effects of load shedding and they also encourage recycling. A comfortable cottage with a rustic charm. There are chickens and friendly dogs roaming the site which was no problem to us. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

"Only book the size cottage you need. We were in the Pump House which sleeps two. Glorious! There are larger cottages for families."Read full review
