- gorgeous cottage - wonderful rustic feel , in the best way - fireplace was such a pleasure to keep us warm in winter along with electric blankets . The host also provided us with electric heaters but that wasn’t really necessary in the end . - the animals ! Just wonderful - the host was very helpful for anything we needed - the location is very close to the centre in a car ( less than 10 minutes )

    We spent 2 nights at the "Leopard lodge", by the lake, and we are happy with our choice! Our apartment was on the first floor and was big and bright, the furniture was very typical and original. Fully immersed in the South African vibe. The terrace has view on the lake, the mountains behind, just great. Everything was very clean. The car can be parked just outside the lodge, for free of course.

    Outstanding rustic chalet experiences in former wind yards. We stayed in the Lake Lodges and enjoyed the frog sounds from the little pond. Breakfast was served in the very colonial style main house. Very impressive

    Very hard to choose one. This was such a perfect place. We made a tour through SA and stayed in a few hotels/lodges, but Lynx was the winning hotel. Heaven on earth. The host was very helpful, the pool was so nice, Thomas helped with the umbrellas..... Everything was more than excellent. I would love to come back!

    A beautiful view of Franshhoek. We were allocated the game lodge - it was a lovely surprise to see some zebras first thing in the morning! Natasha was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome, and even assisted us shuttling between our lodge and the main residence.

    My overall experience relevant to other 5* boutique hotels that I've stayed in within Franshoek was disappointing, the per night rate charged seemed high in comparison to other better hotels and guest lodges that I've stayed at. The room was smaller than I expected, and the bathroom configuration wasn't practical, NO bath...?

    An absolutely beautiful location for a room looking out over the lake and the mountains. Very comfortable bed and aircon and log fire available dependent on the temperature. Great breakfast in the main lodge. No restaurant - but a short drive to the excellent restaurant Arkeste. Tea and coffee in the room, and microwave and fridge - so you could self-cater. Cute drive through a mini-safari to get to the room.

    Beautiful view over the vineyard and across to the opposite mountain range. The scene reminds you of the alps. Various lodges to choose with or without self catering. The game park is an extra bonus. First class restaurant and wine tasting are on the property but separate and very much worth a visit.
