As beautiful as ever!
This was our second stay here. Auberge Clermont is as lovely as ever. On a small farm just a few hundred metres from the centre of Franschhoek, the location is perfect. The cottage is on the sunny side of the valley, with a beautiful outlook over the vineyards onto the mountains. The accommodation is beautiful - you could be in the best of the south of France - and the attention to detail makes it all the more special - from the complimentary bottle of Auberge Clermont wine to the flowers in the room. The delicious breakfast features Franschhoek's local smoked salmon trout on the menu. Very hard to beat. We will be back.

Hi Mark, Thank you for coming back to stay with us and for giving such positive feedback. We really do appreciate return guests as it shows that we are on the right track to be one of the best guesthouses in Franschhoek! Looking forward to your return

To enjoy a 5 star Auberge accommodation do not hesitate to book into the beautifully decorative and quaint Clermont Guesthouse, with spacious rooms and outstanding amenities. Most definitely all tourist requirements so often taken, as to be expected, are professionally provided for. What however takes and makes this experience exceptional, is Angela and her staff’s absolute personal yet professional touch, passion and great attention to visitor requirements and beyond that (like organising an unexpected but hoped for Tuk-Tuk slow/scenic ride through the typical and close by Franschoek ambiance). Indeed great value, thanks

Our best stay in Franschhoek
My husband and I have stayed in Franschhoek many times, each time in a lovely guesthouse. But Auberge Clermont has to be the best, ticking all of our boxes. It's location is perfect being close to town but away from the crowds, in open farmland and breathtaking mountain views. The guesthouse is beautiful, decorated with thought and style to create a secluded and relaxed environment in which you really do feel "away from it all". And Angela and Jane were perfect hosts; friendly and attentive, but extremely respectful of privacy and space. Everyone at Clermont did their utmost to make our stay perfect - and it was. Thank you

Romantic perfection in Franschhoek
I surprised my wife with an overnight stay to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in this beautiful auberge in its extraordinarily lovely surroundings. It's about the best location one could wish for in Franschhoek - your own little farm, with vineyards and fruit trees to wander among, and only a ten minute walk into town (but if you're visiting Franschhoek, you're probably in a car anyway). We've lived in Europe and enjoyed some of the best of France - this auberge could be set in the loveliest French countryside you could imagine. Everything about our stay was perfect. Our hosts kindly sourced a bouquet of flowers for my wife; we drank a full bottle of their wonderful Sauvignon Blanc, made on the farm, on our terrace for sundowners; the breakfast was lovely; and our hosts were wonderful. Of course we stayed in the honeymoon suite, in an old wine cellar, and it was beautiful in every respect. It's also perfect for families, with self-catering options, a swimming pool and tennis court, great cycling (mountain bike and road) from the gate. Fortunately, not too much accommodation available - it's an auberge, not a hotel - so one gets to enjoy the environment in peace and quiet. Can't recommend it enough.

Very good B&B in lovely surroundings
My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights in the honeymoon suite (room 1), which is both roomy and well appointed; it's a very nice B & B. The Auberge is only a couple of minutes drive away from Francheok where there are an abundant number of good restaurants and shops. Breakfast at the Auberge was very good, and all in all it's great value for money set in beautiful surroundings.

We loved the ambience of Auberge Clermont. In all aspects this was a great place to stay. We were so sorry that our itinerary allowed us to stay only one night as we loved the place so much. It was very relaxing and the hotel environment was extremely charming and homely. We thoroughly recommend this property as a place to stay if you want a calm oasis away from noise and busyness.

Wonderful villa in a relaxing vineyard
Amazing four night stay in the Villa. Great place for families. Located on a lovely vineyard in a quiet corner of Franschhoek only 3 minutes from the Main Street. Villa is a huge 3 bedroom farmhouse with its own pool and fully furnished. Separate, private area from the other B&B guest. We spent the majority of our time and meals outside on patio enjoying the amazing views. Great place for family or friends looking for a relaxing spot.

Well-appointed room with lovely views across vineyards. For exercise, a walk round the farm beats the small pool. Breakfast was tasty and service excellent. It's about a 15-minute walk into Franschoek - not recommended after dark, but you can get a tuk-tuk back from the town

Fabulous property. Welcoming and beautiful
We stayed at the Villa at Auberge Clermont for 6 days. The villa is great - French country farmhouse style. Very comfy beds, large bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen with cooker, dishwasher fridge and freezer. There is maid service everyday. The verandah is perfect for sitting out in the evenings, and the pool is great. Very peaceful and trainquil. Well run by the staff and owners and perfectly placed a short distance from the centre of Franschhoek.

Beautiful & secluded, but choose your suite wisely
We stayed in what they called the honeymoon suite. It is on the ground floor and it was amazing. There is a little patio outside the room, but it's in a sort of communal area, so it isn't really part of the room. The other downside to this room in particular is that it isn't very secluded; the walkway outside the room is used to access some of the other rooms, but even given that, the place isn't that big, so it's unlikely you will see more than a few people during your stay. It really is close enough to walk to town (probably 10 to 15 minutes walk), but I wouldn't suggest walking back at night as you will be walking down dark and abandoned roads. I did quite a lot of research beforehand and the price for what we got seemed more than reasonable. You should choose this place if you're looking for something just out of town and seclude, but not prepared to pay exorbitant prices. I do have one word of caution. There were guests who stayed on the first floor and they had a problem with small slugs crawling up under the rafters and into their room. I hear there were hundreds! We didn't have that problem at all, so I suppose it depends on the room you choose. I suggest you phone and ask about this beforehand. We also had a problem with the geezer, there wasn't enough hot water to have a proper bath.

Beautiful quiet Inn
We stayed at Auberge Clermont for two nights. It's an excellent place to stay for South Africa wine country. Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby, and the property is beautiful. Great tennis court and friendly and attentive staff, especially Pauline, who is lovely. Breakfast is delicious, with both cold and hot options. Finally, we saw a mongoose among the grape vines! Loved auberge Clermont.

Nice environment in the middle of the wineyards...
Great time in Franschoek, although we weren't as lucky as we expected (got pretty pouring weather). Nice hotel although the breakfast should have been a little bit more sophisticated and generous if we consider the hotel standing. Nice advise from reception for our evening diner (at Ryan's Kitchen - Great six meals course with an excellent wine choice). Would definitely come back again, hopefully this time with a better weather.
