    Wow, where do I begin! When I say that I was beyond impressed with the High Tea at La Residence, I am not over exaggerating! We experienced the most amazing high tea for Mother’s Day, from being waited on like queens to the Momosa station (need I mention it was bottomless?) the staff at La Residence have thought of it all. Besides the stellar service and friendly staff, the array of sweet and savory dishes were phenomenal, and don’t think they are stingy either, each person gets more than one bite of each dish, meaning there is plenty to go around. There are over 5 different teas available, and if you’re not a tea drinker, fret not, a variety of coffees and other hot drinks are on offer too (once again, need I mention, bottomless?). There truly are no limits when it comes to the value for money that this high tea offers. The staff go above and beyond to make your time with them special, and really do treat you like royalty. All expectations I had for the day were surpassed, ten fold! I honestly can not recommend this enough. Trust me when I say, we will be back! Thank you to all the wonderful staff at La Residence for really making this a Mother’s Day to remember!

    We enjoyed a fantastic vegan Valentine’s Dinner with live music at La Residence, the atmosphere was spectacular and very relaxed, the staff were friendly and helpful and the dessert was undoubtedly the best vegan dessert we have ever had. Would highly recommend.

    La Residence is the perfect oasis amidst the gorgeous vineyards and mountains of Franschhoek to elope! The hotel showcases old world charm and the friendly staff goes the extra mile - you will not want to leave. As a photographer you want your clients to experience the best South African hospitality has to offer and La Residence sets the bar extra high. They treated my couple who travelled to South Africa from the States with so much love and excitement, I could not think of a better place to say I Do! I can highly recommend this location for anyone who is planning a wedding or elopement. You will be treated like royalty.

    The most idyllic location and incredible staff. We were hosted so generously and made to feel so welcome. Beautiful, unbeatable surroundings, a peaceful and private space, impeccable wine and the best service. Could not recommend more highly and only wish we’d been able to stay longer!

    What a gorgeous hotel! We went for afternoon tea and it was simply sublime.

    I celebrated my 30th birthday there and booked the afternoon high tea. Beautiful views, great service, the food was amazing. Definitely going there again.

    An absolute spoil. From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, the staff were welcoming and very attentive. A beautiful place, such attention to detail. I recommend La Residence if you feel like indulging yourself

    My band performed here a few times - the staff are fantastic and the food is devine. I'm sure the rooms are lovely.

  • 5/5 Shinel S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places. Food is always great (try the Caesar salad). Wine options are great too. Tea manu is a pleasant surprize (& the way tea is served) Staff is excellent Have had good experiences here each time. The peacocks are a treat too. Oh- and the decor!! You had me at decor! Gardens also absolutely beautiful. Make a point of visiting them

    Elegant, old world charm. Warm and inviting. Incredible service. Very friendly staff. Beautiful setting. You never want to leave. First stayed: 15 April 2022 We loved every moment of this stay. We were in room six, which had fantastic views, and was very spacious. Every member of staff we engaged with was wonderful to us, and seemed entirely focused on ensuring we had an excellent weekend. Loved the breakfast. Eggs Benedict (with the bacon done exactly as I requested) was perfection. One small wish: The restaurant wine list needs more white blends. Highly recommended. 5 / 5

    Marvelous infrastructure and landscape. Nice buffet and a la carte breakfast. Only disturbed by occasional peacock noises during the day. Beautiful birds but very annoying. So happy they sleep at night. The management puts efforts into making this place cozy.

  • 5/5 Cheryl T. 1 year ago on Google
    What an absolutely fabulous piece of tranquility, so close to Cape Town! It feels like home. Staff are super friendly, attentive and caring. Rooms are carefully and tastefully decorated, with personalised themes. Lovely grounds to walk, shuttle to town/ wine tram and carefully prepared delicious meals. High tea was a big hit! Caution, don't plan a big dinner after it though. Just marvellous.

    My partner and I had a memorable lunch experience at La Residence. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you Michael for taking care of us. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend for a "feel at home" experience with picturesque views.

    One of the most popular hotels in Franschhoek situated between the mountains and the Vineyards known to the area. Beautiful lawns and plants for privacy and an amazing venue for weddings and corporate events. Also some beautiful spa, pool and restaurant for extra special occasions.

    Went for lunch as a Mother's day treat. From the moment we walked up to the door and stepped in, we were welcomed with smiles and greetings. Were were offered any available seating and so we chose the one closest to the roaring fire, that added to the warmth of ambiance. The beautiful furnishings and decor, the abundant flowers adds to an air of luxury and it works well to create a serene setting. It's a space that feels cosy without overdoing the furnishings. The good and level of service is definitely something to be appreciated. The flavours where so intense and portions were just the right amount. The waiter was equally attentive and it matched what one would expect from such an establisment. Though we visited for lunch, we were informed that they serve Dinner as well, which I can imagine to be even better than what we experienced. I would definitely recommend this establisment for a lunch or dinner stop when staying out in Franschoek .

    It was breathtaking, and their friendly staff adds a lot to the experience of the restaurant. The ambience is drawing, the extra touches makes a guest keep coming back. The chef brought us a special made pastry to go with our starter. We were also honoured by the entertainment and gracious presence of an 82 year old man who plays splendid sounds of the piano. It was a birthday to remember.

    Non residents are welcome at the restaurant. Sunday lunches are reasonably priced - a good way to enjoy the ambience of a truly world renowned establishment. The Sunday lunch special we enjoyed recently was 3 courses for R435 per head. A local gentleman was playing music on the iconic "pink" piano... Quite nostalgic! What a beautiful setting in Franschhoek.
