Comfortable home in secure estate in Franschhoek

“Gerald and Ingrid's house is only minutes away from Franschhoek with a view of vines and mountains. The house is nicely furnished and bedrooms comfortable. The garden is pretty and very well kept; the outdoor area providing a delightful place to sit and relax or for outdoor dining. We enjoyed our stay very much; thank you Gerald & Ingrid!”

“One of the best swaps we’ve done. Beautiful house with every detail thought through. Gerald even prepared a welcome tray for us. Highly recommended!”

“We had a wonderful swap to Gerald and Ingrid's home in Franshoek. The house is beautifully decorated, super clean, very comfortable and has everything you need to completely relax. The property is located within a security estate about 5 mins by car to Franshoek's main road. As we were only in Franshoek for a few days during the hottest weekend of the year so far, we chilled by the pool and didn't get a chance to explore the Estate or play tennis as we had intended. Maybe next time! ”

“Gerald and Ingrid were most gracious in accommodating our last minute request to stay in their beautiful home. They personally met us at the house, showed us around and how to use some of the appliances. The house was immaculately clean and very well equipped with everything one would need to make your stay comfortable. We loved the location of the house and particularly the outdoor section where we relaxed and spent a lot of our time reading and swimming. The Big Dog Cafe was such a hit and part of our everyday routine and of course the beautiful restaurants, wine farms and greater surrounds of Franschhoek are world class. The house is in a security estate and it felt safe and peaceful and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay and all the extra lovely touches (Wine, Crisps, Nuts, Dried Fruit, Milk, Water), not to mention your comprehensive house manual. All the best, Richard and Bev”

“Gerald and Ingrid are wonderful hosts. During the booking stage, when we had lost our flights through the collapse of Thomas Cook, they were extremely helpful and understanding. Communication was always first class. The house was immaculate and wonderfully located in Franschhoek. Every one we met was helpful and friendly, Surprise one morning woke up to find the gardener washing our car! Franschhoek is a delightful town with some much to choose from, too much to list! Thank you Gerald and Ingrid for a memorable stay. South Africa is now on top of our list of places to visit again.”

“Gerald & Ingrid -WOW! Thank you so much for the most wonderful stay in your stunning home. It was our first house swap and we just loved it - loved your home - loved meeting you - loved Franschhoek and especially loved the fire place at night drinking a glass of red wine snuggled up on the sofa. What a superb property. Brilliantly located with so many amazing top class restaurants a few min drive away. The home was absolutely immaculate and smelt of beautiful lavender, well equipped with everything you may need. We were also totally spoilt with a massive hamper of food and wine that went down well. It was so unexpected but greatly appreciated. I could not rave more about Gerald, Ingrid and there home - we cannot wait to come back. TOP CLASS xx”

“Had a great stay in Ingrid and Gerald beautiful home and didn’t want to leave. We were met by Ingrid and Gerald who were wonderful and gave us all the information we needed to know. They also left us a wonderful basket full of goodies wine, fruit, biscuits etc. The house was spotless and so comfortable. The TV was not working but that didn’t matter to us but they had us sorted in no time. We took a swim in he pool several times to cool off. On. He second day we went wine tasting on the Franschoek Tram an experience we can highly recommend. Would live to come back again and spend more time. Thank you for a memorable stay x”

“Gerald and Ingrid could not have done more to welcome us to their home, the food hamper and wine were most appreciated. Their home is in a beautiful location and Franschhoek is a fantastic place to sample wine and award winning restaurants. Would I return again.....most definitely.”

“Ingrid and Gerald's house in Franschhoek is absolutely gorgeous. We spent 2 weeks there and loved every minute. The home is beautifully decorated, perfectly organized and located just outside Franschhoek in the lovely, and very safe, residential wine estate - La Petite Provence. We particularly enjoyed the sun-heated pool in the backyard which was cool and quickening in the morning and warm and rejuvenating in the afternoon. The kids loved it. We had a great time exploring the surroundings and manage to see all that we had planned for. The house is the perfect starting point for daily trips to the wine estates in the area, Stellenbosch is only a winsome 25 min drive away. Ingrid and Gerald are the perfect hosts. They provided us with clear instructions regarding the house and gave us many valuable suggestions of places to visit. A wonderful swap with so many memories to cherish.”
