It was beautiful! Exactly what I needed to relax.

Gorgeous place x such a spoil x lovely relaxed time away 😌

The staff was incredibly caring and attentive to all details. Zoe at the front desk was amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay at Trail’s End! The rooms are great: clean, tidy, large bathrooms, cozy beds. We both rented bikes and In the morning after our first night Pieter showed us a few wonderful biking trails. There are different levels of trails so there is something to do for everyone. We were also able to join for the train race in the weekend with Mike and Luke - an absolute must do if you enjoy biking! A fun addition was the tour in the biking museum which has been set up with great care and an eye for detail: for us it was nice to have some insights in the South African bicycle heroes. Trail’s end is also a great basis for tasting the wines of Elgin, we would highly recommend going to Oak valley and Paul Clüver (check if you need any reservations). Trail’s End is very “bruisend” (bubbly) as we say in Dutch. Many guests enjoy the shared area with or without kids - which for us (as we enjoy some livelihood) was quite nice. In the evening it is highly recommended to try the lovely dishes from the chef (try the hake if you enjoy fish and Malva Cake or brownie for the sweet tooth) and several great wines / beers / other drinks can be ordered at the bar. There is enough space for everyone to enjoy the great atmosphere and relax and read a book, play some games or watch soccer on the big screen tv. What worked well for us was that there is a quiet time from 22:00 - as everyone also wakes up early to go biking, hiking or do other activities. Lastly but not the least important: the staff is superfriendly, it is visible everyone enjoys working there and this gives a great energy to Trail’s End. Overall a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some challenging mountain bike trails, good wine and laughs with other guests & staff. Unfortunately we don’t live in South Africa but next time we visit we will definitely come back to Trail’s End.

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. We spent our first night at Houw Hoek 20 years ago. This time we were spoilt by the catering staff with chocolate writing on our desert plates wishing us a happy anniversary. All staff were friendly and helpful

Literally everything. The breakfast was incredible with a wide selection and mimosas. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Staff are so polite and welcoming. Highly recommend! Was worth every penny.

Very spacious, welcoming, and peaceful.

An 18th Century Cape Dutch style Manor Home in beautiful condition with a lot of original furniture. Breakfast was one of the best we have ever had; farm fresh and delicious. Corna was a very gracious host. We will be back!

The hotel is set within beautiful gardens and vineyards just a few hundred metres from the centre of Franschhoek. The views from the hotel are absolutely stunning. I was met by the owner of the property upon check in, Basil Cary, who is a fantastic host and a great source of local information in relation to restaurant and wine tasting recommendations. I stayed for seven nights and can highly recommend the Cape Vue Country House. My room was very comfortable and furnished to a very high standard. Breakfast was absolutely top notch and all of Basil’s team were very friendly and professional. This is a gem of a hotel.

Hermien was a fantastic and attentive host. A peaceful, well maintained lodge. 10/10!
