Chrysalis Spa

The massage therapists here, particularly Hope, are repeatedly named by women who come back specifically to rebook with them. The nail bar is the one area to skip, with reviews pointing to undertrained technicians and pricing that several women found hard to justify.

• One reviewer who received a full body massage on Valentine's Day specifically named therapist Hope as the standout, calling her kind, professional, and highly skilled.
• Therapists remember personal preferences across repeat visits, without needing to be reminded.
• One reviewer reported a poor nail service experience, noting the products appeared to be decanted into unlabelled containers and the polish was too thick to use, requiring multiple colour changes. She also stated she was later told by another salon that she had been overcharged as a tourist.
• Therapist Hope is mentioned by name as exceptional and worth requesting specifically for massage treatments.
• The spa features a champagne bar area where guests can relax both before and after their treatments.
• Nail services received a sharply negative review, with concerns about product quality, hygiene, and overcharging tourists, while massage and facial treatments were consistently praised.
• Franschhoek as an already special town, positioning the spa as part of a wider destination worth visiting.
