Staying in this hotel was a treat from the moment we arrived. A warm professional welcome from Conrad who could not have been more helpful in suggestions for our stay. The room was one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in, and the breakfast was exceptional. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer, but we certainly will on a future visit.

Last Word is a beautiful little boutique hotel perfectly situated at the end of the Main Street in Franschhoek. From the moment we arrived Conrad and his team couldn’t do enough to ensure a perfect stay for us and our friends. Our room was vast with a sitting area, enormous bathroom and super comfy bed. The decor was reminiscent of a Kit Kemp interior. The common areas were spotless and the small pool provided a lovely opportunity to cool down. There’s a welcoming sitting room shared by all guests with the most well stocked honestly bar I’ve ever encountered. Breakfast in the quirky but tastefully decorated dining area was of a high standard and nothing was too much trouble for the team. It was super easy to walk to everything in Franschhoek including numerous wine farms and all the main sites and shops. It was the perfect place to stay for a 3 night visit to due to the location, standard of accommodation and the friendly professional service. Read less

A very warm welcome from the manager, who introduced the staff to us. Accommodation was incredible, so spacious and extremely comfortable. The Manager suggested places to eat that were nearby. I would recommend this establishment to anyone travelling through the area.

Welcomed by the Manager and accommodated despite an early arrival into our Superior Room (really an extensive suite offering every amenity including white port decanter, drinks fridge and gin!) this hotel is ideally positioned and suited to enjoy the heart of this safe, pretty and welcoming town. Beautiful pool and terraces with a generous free bar: what more could you wish for!?! It’s the special, individual touches that greet your return to your room each night that we will remember….be it a pillow-treat or a romantic candle illuminated welcome. Read less
