We went to Franschhoek for our first trip and couldnt have chosen a better location! The apartment was perfect and in a great location for experiencing everything the town has to offer- walking distance to the shops, restaurants, wine tram, and grocery store. Great amenities and wonderful staff! Highly recommend!
Excellent service, staff was friendly and helpful. Great location
The wonderful man who checked us in and helped us park made the stay. He was awesome!
The apartment was beautiful, location was perfect with restaurants and Restaurants just few steps away. Staff super friendly. You can park inside the property in a gated garage. Super clean and beautiful decoration. We are planing to stay there again in January. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!
Reception staff extremely helpful, safe and secure premises, good location.very reasonable rates. Heating worked well. This was very helpful as it gets cold in July.
Brilliant location and great apartments
Very noisy
Was great location but very noisy and no insulation to keep sound out. So don’t expect much sleep
Wellington was very helpful during our stay
Recently returned from a 3 night stay at these apartments and we had a great stay in apartment 6. It was modern, clean and bang in the centre of Franschhoek town. The check in was the quickest ever and room was ready for us despite arriving early. The facilities were great and bed comfy - didn’t want to leave the place and wouldn’t hesitate to book when visiting again 😀
Great property, will stay again
Simply Outstanding
One of the best apartment's we have ever stayed in. Location, value for money, service, friendliness, comfort and overall experience was simply outstanding. I would not consider staying anywhere else in Franschhoek
Bait and Switch! Watch for add on fees
It’s a bait and switch. They won’t let you add people to the booking on hotels.com. Once you arrive they add $75 per person on top of the booking fee. It’s a nice place but watch out for the add on fees.
The Ivy was recommended to us by good friends for it's amenities, being close to the heart of Franschhoek and for being a little "home away from home" and it certainly delivered. We were welcomed by Wellington and he was just so pleasant and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. There is a great little welcome area with some lovely snacks, waters etc. Load shedding did happen whilst we were there but it really wasn't;t a problem, the unit is equipped with an inverter so it was really the fridge and zircon that was off in that time, which had no effect on our stay, all the lights still worked which was wonderful. We would definitely stay again on our next visit to beautiful Franschhoek. Highly recommend a day on the wine tram too :)
Super sleek
Apologies or the gush. But these are trophy apartments. Looks like everything was built or bought just yesterday. We were like puppies running around squealing. Could not be a better location. Loved the sweet little swimming pool. Really appreciated he laundry, and reveled on the balcony.
Well located and excellent service on arrival. The apartment we had needed some renovation - toilet door handle fell off and the skirting around the kitchen area wasn't fixed. However overall the property is lovely and has all the amenities needed for any length of stay
Brilliant self catering accomodation
Great central location and amenities.
lovely and central!
It was wonderful and not the first time staying at the Ivy. It is literally off the main street. Great space. Just a couple of things - no bulbs in bedside lamp and bedding feather, even after calling reception and being told of course it is not (my sister is slightly allergic, I love feather bedding). Otherwise, really great place to stay. I'd suggest more coffee pods and perhaps a description of what type of coffee is in the various pods. Thank you
Blissful
Everything about my stay was exceptional from the time I checked in. Friendly knowledgeable helpful staff. Fabulous decor good space. Cleanliness A+. I was sad to leave and already planning my next trip.
Comfortable and Clean
Excellent location, spacious accommodation, clean, modern , friendly welcome. could not ask for more
Second time staying at the Ivy, and loved it just as much as the first. Centrally located, modern apartments that are a great place to stay while in Franschhoek.
Great spot to say in Franschoek
Very nice and well-situated property in Franschoek. Had a great time... hotel manager was excellent and very obliging.
great choice at the heart of franschhoek
great location, very large modern apartment, highly recommended for the area as it is in the heart of Franschhoek
Excellent apartment right in the centre of Franschoek - easy for restaurants and all local amenities. Would not hesitate to stay at the Ivy Apartments again
The Perfect Winelands Getaway
We had a really wonderful stay at the Ivy Apartments that was beyond all expectations. The apartments are perfectly located in the middle of Franschoek, and you can walk to all the best shops and restaurants. Inside the apartment you will have everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. Thank you to the Ivy team for accommodating us at short notice and for making our celebration weekend so very special.
Gem in Franschoek
We had a fabulous trip to Franschoek and staying at the ivy apartments was just the cherry on top. Excellent location, clean and beautifully furnished
Fabulous location! Helpful staff, beautiful spacious accommodation.
Really disappointing to book the Penthouse Apartment, only to be told that there was no washer or dryer as stipulated
Great location, but the property was a little tired and needed a deep clean - staff very good
Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Secure parking
If you don't have a car this property is well located right as you enter Franschhoek. Everything you need is within walking distance, including Woolworths. It was surprisingly quiet at night. The staff were efficient and friendly and we really appreciated being able to check in early after a long flight.
Fabulous
Couldn't recommend enough. Great location, really safe, warm and welcoming staff. We'd love to return....
Spacious inside and the perfect location.
Spacious stay, amenities including clothes washer were just what was needed, location was perfect and room service was very attentive. Will recommend this hotel for others.
Lovely place situated just off the Main Street in Franschhoek We stopped in apartment 8 which had everything we needed. We were also able to check in early by prior agreement which was great. Would recommend
Great spot on the main street. Very nice place
Fabulous Stay at the Ivy!!
The place was beautiful and comfortable. The staff super friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. The location fabulous to walk to everything in town and the entire wine region is absolutely gorgeous!’
Very comfortable apartment, with everything you might need (including very welcome airco), and accommodating staff, ideally located to explore Franschoek. The property has a nice pool corner where you can relax, with trees providing just enough shade. The pool was unexpectedly cold though. Secure parking is also included. We had a lovely stay!
Great apartment. Nice size and location. Clean and beautiful decor. Cute cafe very close by.
Centre of town
Great one night stay to experience Franschhoek from the center of town.
Lovely apartment in great location
We stayed here for a couple of nights for our visit to Franschhoek. Apartment 5 was lovely and more than we needed. It had 2 bedrooms- a large one on the mezzanine level with a large bathroom and a smaller double room on the ground level with a smaller shower room. The kitchen had all the things you need inc washing machine, espresso machine, large fridge freezer. There was also a large tv in the lounge area and wifi. There is a (very) small pool area, but I don't think it gets the sun much. The location is fantastic- right in the heart of Franschhoek, a short walk to all restaurants and the wine tram office.
Good. Location But
Because of a local dispute the patio was off limits which curtailed employment of the flat considerably. The tv had no remote control so subtitles were not available. No good for someone with hearing difficulties. Various things were broken e.g. Light fitting. Towel rail. Could do with some maintenance. Best was location with secure car parking in centre of town.
Spacious modern apartment
Very clean and modern apartment (number2) in great central location. Although it had two bedrooms, the master was in a loft so open to noise etc from below. Ok for us as we were only a couple! Lots of light coming into apartment so take eyeshades if this bothers you. Had one terrace opening onto the light well - so not a pleasant place to sit. The larger terrace was unfortunately barred from use and was surrounded by high screens anyway so no views.
5 stars!!
Great overnight get away from Cape Town. Upscale apartment was fantastic and the nice gentleman who helped with a late check in and an early check out seemed to appear just as we needed him. Overall great time! Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.
1 night at Ivy
Nearby restaurants and very nice modern apartment.
Great location right in Franschhoek with well appointed and spacious apartments
would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay. The apartment is modern, spacious and comfortable. Only issue we had was that the bed and pillows upstairs weren't so comfortable.
Perfect for a Franschoek wine day
Right in the center of Franschoek, easy to walk the entire town & to all of the shops, secure parking, friendly staff, lovely interior, very spacious, immaculately clean, full fridge, stove, oven & washer/dryer combo. Highly recommend!
Can't fault a thing!
Can't fault a thing! A warm and welcoming greeting upon arrival. A quick and efficient check in. A large well appointed room and bathroom. Cheerful staff at breakfast. A delicious breakfast on offer: a cold buffet and a nice selection of hot breakfast items made to order. We did not dine at the hotel for dinner because we had other arrangements made by friends each evening. However we very much appreciated the hotel staff confirming we didn't need a table for dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Great location
Very nice and large place. Great Space and attentive staff make this place an excellent choice .
Beautiful and spacious self catering apartment
Comfortable, beautifully decorated and spacious apartment in a brilliant location.
Perfect getaway in the winelands
Perfectly relaxing
Great apartment right in the village centre
Stunning apartment, well equipped and located for easy walking around Franschoek. Luxury design and service with 2 great balconies to enjoy the weather. Only downside was noise from the nearby road but worth it for central location.
Excellent value
We find the location excellent. The apartments are well stocked with kitchenware and now have a plunge pool which is welcome on hot days. Staff are very obliging.
Good apartment in a great location
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH. WELLINGTON SORTS ANY PROBLEM OUT AND IS A STAR. FRANSHOEK IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES I HAVE STAYED IN AND ALWAYS MAKE IT A PORT OF CALL ON OUR annual trip to South Africa. Would not hesitate to use The Ivy again and recommend it to friends.
Fantastic!
The Ivy Apartments are beautiful (understatement), have friendly and helpful staff and is located as centrally in Franschhoek as it gets - walking distance to all the nice restaurants downtown. Also, it is a great vantage point for exploring all the local wineries.
Excellent apartment in the heart of Franschhoek
Very comfortable and spacious apartment, well equipped for self catering but also close to very good restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
Perfect location in the centre of Franschoek
Modern apartment with much needed and effective a/c. Within easy walk of all the restaurants and excellent quality stores you expect in Franschoek. It would have been nice to have sat outside but the apartment refuses access to the stoop area because of noise complaints.
Stayed here before, easy to come back again...
Quick stay, wish I had more time so that I could relax a bit more into it!
Fabulous location, super-stylish apartment
The Ivy apartments are slap bang in the middle of town. Beautifully fitted out with ample wardrobes, washing machine/dryer and everything you'd need for a wonderful stay. The only downside is the hum from the aircon at the next door block, and the fact that some of the wondows don't have blinds, so you get woken up when dawn breaks. Take a eye-mask!
Perfect location
This apartment is the perfect place to stay in Franschoek. Large, modern, close to everything. Security system for the apartment and secure underground parking. Highly recommend it!
Spacious Apartment in centre of town
Very spacious open plan apartment ideal for a family of four. Location ideal to walk to local restaurant and shops.
Perfect Spot
Hotel is on the perfect location, you can walk to most places you would want to go. Rooms are fully equipped and nicely decorated. A lovely man named Wellington helped us with whatever we needed and more!
Cape Treasure
You couldn't want to be better located in this quaint and beautiful Cape Treasure! Staff were very helpful, the rooms very comfortable and the location perfect! We will be going back!
perfect place to stay
perfect in every way...great to have a washing machine to do my laundry too.
Franschhoek at its best
Really enjoyed the two day break. Great place and location.
The Ivy Apts in Franschhoek
The inside the apt. was beautiful and tastfully remodeled, clean and very comfortable. It was a pleasant surprise to find a washer and dryer inside. We did have problems operating the TV and DVR and there was nobody on sight to ask. I was disappointed to find out that we couldn't use the balcony because the neighbors had complained in the past. I also was disappointed in the location, but seeing how we were only there for one night and day we made do. It was very nice to leave our car after check-out so we could walk around town.
Wonderful
An absolute pleasure staying here. Close to all shopping and restaurant faculties. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Beautiful apartment
Stayed only one night in this beautiful apartment with very friendly staff. Will do it again for a longer period.
Great place. Service needs improving.
The furnishings were simple. and as advertised. The washer latch was broken. The person who explained how things worked had difficulty explaining and keeping it short. A bit unprofessional, but everything else was fine.
Franschoek Break
A lovely comfortable home away from home. Situated perfectly in town.
Most enjoyable stay
Very pleasant, apartment met all our expectations. Very convenient location, walking distance to all restaurants. Glad to see on going maintenance, secured parking a bonus.
Has everything
Stayed 2 nights, well appointed unit, clean, airy and fresh, staff friendly, great location
Lovely apartment close to shops/restaurants
The Ivy was a welcome oasis in beautiful Franschoek wine country.. Close to shops and restaurants and wine tram; clean; easy check in. Would love to stay there again if in the area.
We stayed here for week as we were attending a wedding locally. Our stay here was totally relaxed and the staff couldn't have been more helpful especially Wellington and Lisa. Unfortunately there were necessary outdoor repairs going on to pavements and flooring which was noisy at times and we had to be careful avoiding pieces of wood and broken tiles in stairs leading to the apartment which in the UK is a big health and safety no no!! Other than that a good stay.
Spectacular
Stunning location, gorgeous apartment and Wellington was super!

I rented the luxury penthouse and it was very nice. Felt like home. The area is very walkable with restaurants, grocery, and shops within a very short distance. I grabbed Starbucks everyday and sat on the balcony to enjoy the beautiful mountain views. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I plan to return to this property again.
