I have stayed in many hotels all over the world, I can honestly say this is one of the best experiences I have had, excellent service, beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was very unique and every room had a very personal touch.

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed Akademie Street and hope to see you back some day. Kind Regards, Declan & the Akademie Team.
To say that Declan has an eye for detail is like saying Lionel Messi is good at football or Usain Bolt can run fast. There is so much attention to detail at the Akademie that you have to re-calibrate your standards and expectations. Everything is...More

Hi MrCreosote1, thank you so much for taking the time to pen such a lovely review.Whilst, I'm loving your references to Messi & Bolt, sadly they are unjustified! Our detail comes simply by everyone here, owner, managers & staff, listening to our guests and what...More

Hi there & thanks for your inquiry. Firstly, as regards us, at Akademie Street Boutique Hotel, we are actually closed for June & July for essential repairs & maintenance. Sorry about that!
As I am sure you are aware, the Western Cape is currently experiencing the worst drought in living memory! ‘Day Zero’, the day the Cape will officially run out of mains water, has been brought forward from April 21 to April 12. Recently, authorities in Cape Town sadly have reiterated that Day Zero will definitely arrive & happen in Cape Town! We, in Franschhoek, whilst still adhering to the compulsory water restrictions are faring a little better than Cape Town! Hopefully we will not experience ‘day zero’ in Franschhoek. We are very lucky, with our location nestled amongst the mountains and hence have a plentiful supply of underground ‘bole hole’ water. Hence, everyone in Franschhoek, residential, commercial and in deed the local municipality, are currently drilling to avail of this precious resource! It is hoped that our entire area will be totally independent of the severely depleted dams & reservoirs by the end of March. We too, are planning to drill our own bore hole before the end of February, and whilst there are no guarantees, early surveys & indications are excellent! It is hoped that we will have sufficient water to service the entire Hotel!
However, we too must adhere to the necessary compulsory water restrictions, in an attempt to save water and comply with the daily personal water allowance of 50 litres per day per person! Thankfully, to date, all our guests are in agreement that the various measures, listed below, have done little if anything to adversely impact upon their enjoyment of their stay with us! Long may it last! These include :
Pools are not to be filled up – ours are currently operational, if a little low!
All garden irrigation system have been switched off.
The use of bath tubs are prohibited – guests are encouraged to have quick showers instead.
Guest bed linen & towels are only changed every 2nd day.
Guest personal laundry has been suspended.
These are the likely restrictions that our guests are probably going to notice, but hopefully, are not going to find them particularly difficult to adhere to! We are obviously doing many other things behind the scenes to further save water, such as water harvesting, use of ‘grey water’ etc. Everything helps!
Kind Regards,
Declan

Hi Michelle, It's Declan here from Akademie Street. Thanks for your enquiry. Hopefully, you will get some independent answers to your query, but let me just outline a few of the differences between Gelatenheid A & B. Both are similarly finished to the same high 5 star standards & in a similar style, but the ground floor - B is ever so slightly larger. It boasts a larger lounge area and has a kitchen. It also has it's own private external entrance & private parking bay. The big advantage with the upstairs suite, is obviously the balcony and of course the views! Whilst my own personal preference would be 'B' on the ground floor, early indications are that guests prefer the upstairs 'A' suite! But, as I say, hopefully, you will get some independent opinions. Kind Regards, Declan.
