Le Manoir de Brendel

Lovely rooms, beautiful gardens and helpful owners. Great breakfast on the terrace- butter wrapped up with tiny tinsel!

Super comfortable, peaceful place to stay within a stunning wine estate just outside of “ picture perfect” Franschhoek. We enjoyed eight nights of total relaxation. Spacious and comfortable suites, pretty pool lots of thoughtful touches in the rooms

A very belated but nonetheless truly heartfelt THANK YOU to Le Manoir de Brendel for hosting us a little while back in October for our Gondwana Tours & Safaris get together in the beautiful Cape Winelands. We were looked after like celebrities, “wined and dined”, nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and attentive staff with welcoming smiles …… We really enjoyed the plentiful amenities, and little touches like the complimentary sherry and wine. .... Loved the crisp linen and very comfortable beds/ bedding as well as the bathrobes. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to lounge around the huge pool - but it certainly is an amazing feature and we will have to return to try it out. We stayed at the self catering "cottage" which has three double beds. Downstairs en-suite bedroom and upstairs more open plan bedroom that shares one large bathroom in the middle. There is ample space! We also occupied two stunning rooms in the main house. What a treat. Equally big and equally well kitted out. Breakfast is served on the verandah on sunny days & inside on cooler days. The buffet and hot breakfast to order leaves nothing to wish for. Dietary requirements are taken care of provided they have been communicated in advance. If anyone is thinking of getting married or celebrating a special occasion look no further …. There is even a small chapel on the property! ….. also worth mentioning is that this is an animal friendly accommodation! This beautiful gem surrounded by the characterful Franschhoek Mountain range in the Cape Winelands has the feel of a home away from home and offers all the comforts one would look for in a luxury accommodation. Franschhoek town is only a short 5min drive away. Guests may also enjoy hikes in through the vineyards that surround the property. For those that prefer a less busy place to stay when visiting Cape Town, Le Manoir really lends itself as a base from which to explore the Cape Peninsula.
