    My stay at Residence William French was worth every penny. The room was absolutely amazing, with breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains. The staff treated me like family, and the host went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable.

    The breakfast menu could have been more varied, maybe a different option each day would have been great. Nevertheless, the same breakfast served every morning was absolutely delicious!

    To stay in this guesthouse is truly an amazing experience. the location is close to all the main attractions in the region. the suites are spacious and luxurious with amazing views. Breakfast is delicious with fresh and quality ingredients. the host is attentive and hospitable, making guests feel at home. the staff is friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the seating arrangement on the terrace near the pool may feel too close to other guests' terraces.

    Residence William French - a breathtaking stay with impeccable design and a delicious breakfast. The hosts, William and Janine, exceeded all expectations with their gracious hospitality and attentiveness. The view of the ocean from the pool is priceless. Every aspect of this guest house is perfectly furnished and awe-inspiring. The dinner experience felt like dining at a 2 Michelin stars restaurant. Highly recommended for a memorable South African getaway.

    Amazing Christmas experience. Waking up to a delicious breakfast and a stunning view was the best start to our day. The staff was friendly and hospitable, making us feel welcome. We loved the location, so close to the beach and other exciting attractions. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Plus, the complimentary wine was a fabulous bonus!

    The dinner was a surprise and didn't offer many options. While some people might love the element of surprise, we preferred more options to choose from.

    I had an absolutely amazing experience during my stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location up the hill provided breathtaking views of the ocean. The service, room service, and housekeeping were top-notch, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was taken care of. The laundry service was convenient and efficient. Additionally, the airport shuttle service was a great convenience for my travels. The warm welcome drink upon arrival made me feel instantly at home. The staff went above and beyond to provide pet amenities for my furry friend. The tours and ticket assistance made exploring the surrounding area hassle-free.

    I highly recommend this hotel to all my family and friends.

    The views were absolutely stunning and the food was delicious. Our room was very comfortable and had amazing amenities. the hotel was also in a great location, close to many attractions and the staff was very friendly.

    The hotel was very overpriced for what it offered and we felt like we didn't have much privacy. the staff was always around and although they were helpful, we would have liked to have more alone time.

    A fantastic stay with breathtaking ocean views, comfortable rooms, and warm hospitality. Within walking distance of a beautiful beach, national park, and other attractions. Delicious homemade breakfast and dinner served by an excellent chef. Friendly and polite staff always willing to help.

    Nothing all good.
