MAISON MONTAGNE at Dieu Donne Vineyards

Request an upstairs room with a balcony: the vineyard valley view at sunset is the whole point of staying here. Breakfast gets mixed marks, with the hollandaise specifically called out as needing work.

• The pool area offers unobstructed valley views, describing it as one of the best features of the property.
• One reviewer specifically recommended requesting an upstairs room with a balcony for views over the vineyards.
• The staff arranged champagne and rose petals for an anniversary stay without being asked.
• A generous breakfast with a choice of several cooked options alongside a continental buffet, though one noted some elements like the hollandaise sauce could be improved.
• One reviewer pointed out that guests receive a large discount at the vineyard next door.
• The hotel sits in the middle of vineyards, close enough to Franschhoek's restaurants to be convenient but quiet and removed from town noise.
• Upstairs rooms come with balconies overlooking the vineyards and valley, and reviewers described the rooms and bathrooms as large and comfortable.
• Guests receive a discount at the Dieu Donne vineyard next door, making it a useful base for wine touring including the wine tram.
• At least one reviewer described having the best shower they had ever experienced at the property.
• The hotel is a short drive from Franschhoek's centre rather than walking distance, so a car is helpful.
