The Coach House is an idyllic bed and breakfast guesthouse, located in the picturesque and luxurious village of Franschhoek, South Africa.
The Coach House is an eight-room guesthouse situated in the mesmerising village of Franschhoek. With four garden rooms and four rooms within the main house, a shared lounge, an outdoor pool and a lovely garden featuring plenty of sun loungers. We provide luxury accommodation in an equally luxurious location.
Our convenient central location only adds to the charm of this guesthouse. So close to picturesque vineyards, award-winning restaurants, shops, activities, and cafés means you won’t have to venture far to fill your days with new and treasured experiences.
Explore Our Rooms
This quiet and cosy front-facing room is located on the ground floor, tucked away and accessed through The Coach House’s library, just past the communal lounge area.
Our largest room at 474 ft2 is the best way to experience The French Corner of the Cape in style. As with some of our other rooms, this room can be used as a king double bedroom or twin room. Included are comfortable seating areas both inside and outside on your private patio – for those days when 'chilling out' is high on the agenda…
Guests staying in this double room will be treated to a balcony with its own outdoor furniture that overlooks the Coach House garden; you also don’t have to look far for a great view of the valley’s impressive mountains…
Our Premium Garden Rooms act as your own little slices of South African heaven while you stay in beautiful Franschhoek. The main draw for these rooms are the great views of our proud garden, which can also be used as access to your room as opposed to entering via the main house…
This double bedroom is perfect for any dynamic duo touring the area or a traveller flying solo. Being similar to our other Premium Garden Rooms, you’re treated to a stunning view of our beautiful garden that can also act as access to this room, as opposed to using the main house to get to this room…
After something a little different? Our Premium Mountain Suite could be your very own slice of heaven. Accessed privately via exterior steps found at the side of the main house, this is a more secluded approach to staying at The Coach House…
This room is great for travellers on more of a budget, yet it is in no way less accommodating than the other rooms. What this room may lack in views, it makes up for with plenty of floor space and functionality…
If you don’t want to spend as much on your room but still want those great views and similar luxuries, this could be the perfect room for you. With views of our garden and the surrounding mountains, previous guests have loved this room that comes with everything needed for a great stay. Our colourful garden can also be used to access this room, instead of going through the main house…

I'm slow to add this review but stayed here with my wife and we couldn't have had a nicer stay, location excellent just iff the Main St. Hosts were so friendly and helpful, helping us with our taxi arrangements, restaurant arrangements and what sights to visit. Breakfast was of the highest quality and the decor was also highest quality. The garden room was large and clean and quiet. We'd love to visit the Coach House again.Posted on Google![]()

We spent two nights. It is a four star guest house with five star service. David and Jenny are fabulous hosts. The whole place is very clean and always neat. It is walking distance from the main street. We will be back to spend more time.Posted on Booking![]()

Schönes Zimmer mit toller Aussicht und vielen Annehmlichkeiten ☺Der Balkon ist ein Traum, der Blick wunderschön und auch die Sitzgelegenheiten auf dem Balkon sind bequem. Das Bad ist sehr stylisch, alles funktioniert tipp topp. Und es gibt in dem ganzen Zimmer ausreichend Steckdosen, man muss nicht lange suchen und kann mehrere Geräte gleichzeitig aufladen. Die Lage ist super, in wenigen Schritten ist man an der Hauptstraße. ☹Das Bett ist eher schrecklich, entweder das Bett selbst oder die Matratze wackeln. Wenn sich der Partner im Bett umdreht, hat man das Gefühl, man wird aus dem Bett geschaukelt. Das sollte dringend ausgetauscht werden.Posted on Booking![]()

Posto gradevole alla fine del paese, molto vicino alla zona del monumento agli ugonotti, a circa 20 minuti a piedi dal wine tram e 10-15 dalla zona dei ristoranti. Rientrare la sera a piedi non è il massimo perché la zona è molto buia (seppure riferita dal personale come “safe”). Nel giardino stavano facendo lavori per l’inizio della stagione estiva, quindi c’era un po’ di trambusto e la piscina era sporca e non utilizzabile. La camera con accesso dal giardino è grande e arredata in modo carino e abbastanza funzionale. Abbiamo avuto un problema con l’acqua calda che non funzionava il primo giorno, poi è stata riparata…ci è stato fatto un piccolo sconto per questo disagio, ma forse sarebbe stato opportuno controllare prima, perché siamo stati una sera e la mattina successiva senza poterci lavare. La colazione purtroppo è stata deludente: scarsa, poco varia e fatta con prodotti confezionati, eccetto che per le uova preparate espresse. Del tutto assenti dolci freschi, prodotti da forno, frutta secca, ecc., c’erano solo yogurt, formaggio, pane in cassetta e qualche muffin del supermercato. Peraltro la colazione si può fare solo dalle 8:30 che è un orario veramente limitante per chi vuole girare o fare escursioni. Appena siamo arrivati (e anche prima di arrivare) abbiamo segnalato che la seconda mattina saremmo andati via presto e abbiamo chiesto la gentilezza di avere la colazione “to go”…ci è stato detto di si, che non ci sarebbero stati problemi; tuttavia ci sono state portate due ciotole di coccio con lo yogurt (quindi impossibili da portare via), due muffin confezionati del supermercato e due tramezzini del banco frigo del supermercato: ben diverso dalla colazione fresca che era prevista dalla tariffa della camera. Insomma, il posto non è male ma c’è da migliorare perché il rapporto qualità-prezzo è un po’ basso, probabilmente ci sono posti migliori attualmente a Franschhoek per tariffe analoghe.Posted on Booking![]()
