The hosts were so warm and welcoming My room was Lovely, spacious and well appointed. There is a full bathroom offering a shower and a bath. There’s a nook with a coffee station, fridge and kettle. I loved being just across the road from the ocean and having sea views from my bedroom. Lots of extra treats such as chocolate on my pillow and biscuits at my bedside were extra special touches which shows the care the hosts put i to making their guests feel comfortable. Definitely the place to stay if you’re in the area.

We enjoyed the stay at Franskraal B&B. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. From arriving, they make you feel as though you are visiting family. I enjoyed the finer touches to detail (like the cherry and biscuits and rusks). The facility is good for wheelchair users. Clean and neat.

Wonderful location on the water front. Very comfortable bed and silky sheets. Great use of main living room area overlooking the sea. Unfortunately it was wet and windy when we stayed or we would have sat on the balcony.
Easy to find, left too early to have breakfast so cannot comment. 10 minute drive to Gainsbaai to shark dive.
Host was helpful and recommended place for dinner and made reservation.

Great stay. Very welcoming hosts and very comfortable room with nice welcoming touches added by the hosts.
Great breakfast served the following morning.
Could not ask for anything more of the hosts or the B&B.

Arguably the best b&b in this side of the world. our hosts, Amanda and Helmie, are perhaps the nicest couple ever - just like your favorite aunt and uncle. The rooms are immaculately clean, towels frsh, linens crisp, and the  little chocolates under the pillow prompted an "Ahhh..." from me and my husband. The breakfast, which varies day to day, are to die for. Utterly yummy and true to form, presented in the prettiest way (see photo). Although Franskraal beach can be a bit rough in the summer, this b&b makes a trip here worth it. We even extended another night just because we felt so relaxed and at home. We can't wait to come back in the winter to watch the whales from Amanda and Helmie's front room. What a place!!!

What a lovely lady who owns the b&b! She has oodles of personality and gives a warm welcome into her home/the b&b. She went over and above for us. Lovely location looking onto the sea where you can spot whales. Highly recommend!
