It was very hot while we were there and had to leave door open at night which meant that the family cat who is very friendly became a regular visitor which might be a problem if you have cat allergies.

Sunny Lane was exactly what we expected, and we not only enjoyed our 2 nights there immensely, but we want to do it again (for longer) next year. Franschoek is central and makes a great base from which to explore many aspects of the Western Cape. Our hosts were concerned, but unobtrusive - and we felt completely 'at home' at Sunny Lane."

Sunny Lane have responded that a microwave has subsequently been installed and a weber braai is available for use (it is just stored away to prevent rusting). Guests need just ask for it."

"Even on a dull day Sunny Lane would live up to its name. A tumbling cascade of magenta bougainvillea offset by the white walls greeted us at the gate. Once through the gate a path leads to the accommodation and beyond was a sparkling pool. We stayed in the smaller of the two cottages which was clean, comfortable and had plenty of information brochures. It adequately suited our needs for the weekend but best of all it was so close to the main street and amenities which meant we could walk and not have the hassle of finding parking for the car. Truly good value for money."

"We choose one of the most dreadful weekend’s weather wise to go away for a weekend but the minute we arrived at Sunny Lane felt at home. We had a most comfortable stay with cosy under floor heating in the bedroom, comfy bed, hotel package DSTV in the lounge where my husband could enjoy his sport and every other amenity to think of to make one's stay comfortable and relaxing - even a coffee machine. The location is wonderful, almost in the centre of Town and one can walk around to browse the shops, restaurants, pubs, etc. I told the host, Barbara, that I will definitely be back to enjoy the outdoors, i.e. pool, garden etc with the rest of my family. Thank you Sunny Lane."

We were treated kindly by the very friendly owners and all our needs were met. We loved the space and the scenery, the fact that we enjoyed privacy and that we could go for long walks in the area. Sunny Lane is very centrally situated and we had easy access to shops and tourist spots. I have already recommended the guesthouse to my friends. Most of all, we found the prices very reasonable. We will definitely go back there again.
Thanks to Rooms for Africa.com for advertising this guesthouse! Good luck, Karin van Graan

Comfortable, clean and fully equipped, Sunny Lane has everything you need right in the heart of the town. We particularely loved the bed linen - so soft and white. Sunny Lane is a self catering guesthouse and all you need to do is to visit a winery, the cheese shop and the bakery and enjoy a most delicious meal a la francaise on the porch! I can warmly and sincerely recommend Sunny Lane."

"Beautiful Franschhoek has a bit of a reputation as an expensive destination. And certainly there is some pricey accommodation, ditto for restaurants and wine farms. But Sunny Lane offers a spacious, clean and relaxing place to stay, a short walk from the busy main road. The larger of the two suites has a lounge, dining room, TV room, kitchen and bedroom with big cupboards and a bathroom (with bath and shower) and toilet. You can sit outside on the little stoep or step down to the well-wooded swimming pool area, where a braai is available for your use. The tranquillity of the garden is something to be experienced. As paranoid city-dwellers we were kindly allowed use of a garage but we noticed that many Franschhoek residents park in the streets. The accommodation cost my wife and I R550 a night. Being bargain hunters, we found the Pick ‘n Pay food shop in the main road maintained the town's gourmet reputation at a fraction of the cost of the restaurants, ideal for self-caterers. And the Franschhoek Cellars, also within walking distance, was a cheerful non-snobby place that provided delicious and delightful wines and cheeses for tasting. Sunny Lane, in Akademie Street, passes the test with honours."

We had the unit attached to the back of the garage. The other one is attached to the house. Both verandahs look into each other which wasn't a problem while we were there, but both together would be particularly suitable for 2 couples travelling together.

The rooms are neat and everything is there if you want to stay in and cook a meal for yourself. The owner Barbara is very helpfu and friendly. The swimming pool is clean and very inviting after a long days exploring the wine routes. There is basic T.V. but a DSTV channel which are not shared would really be a big bonus to the rooms as this is the only negative point for us."

"The Sunny Lane facility is excellent. Set in a quiet street only a short walk from shops and restaurants, the apartment we occupied for two nights is well equipped for self catering with large pleasant rooms. The small swimming pool in the grounds would have added to our enjoyment but we stayed in early spring before the pool was ready or the water warm enough - and it rained, good for the grapes but wet for us. Having a comfortable apartment to return to, out of the rain was most welcome. Friendly owners, comfortable apartment - recommend."

The location is perfect for strolling down to all the fantastic restaurants in Franschhoek and the surrounding countryside and vineyards. The accommodation was spacious, clean and had everything we needed, some of the equipment is a little dated but all fully functional. The only issue we had was given the location a couple of decent wine glasses to appreciate the fantastic local wines would have been great, but you can't really count that as a major complaint!"

There is also a delightful private courtyard area with a swimming pool. Sunny Lane is situated on a quiet back street but is only a short walking distance to all the attractions of Franschhoek.

It all goes to show that you can stay in Franschhoek without spending a fortune!

Highly recommended!

"We enjoyed our stay. The setting in Franschoek is magnificent with beautiful mountains all around. The location of the unit is really good and a short walk to really nice shops and cafes. "


"Perfect place for two couples"

(Sweden) Mr Sonden

"We had a great two weeks long stay. With Sunny Lane as our base we explored the wineries in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch by foot and by car. After a full day of exploring we spent the late afternoons on the terrace and in the pool. In the evening we fired up the grill or took the short walk to one o..."

"We had a great two weeks long stay. With Sunny Lane as our base we explored the wineries in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch by foot and by car. After a full day of exploring we spent the late afternoons on the terrace and in the pool. In the evening we fired up the grill or took the short walk to one of Franschhoek's great restaurants. The apartments suited our needs very well (four adults and two infants) and were serviced daily (except weekends). We can highly recommend Sunny Lane! "


"February 2010 Review"

(Spain) Mr Anderson

"In a great central location, no need for driving in the evening to enjoy all the restaurants. As for the winelands, they are excellent. Accommodation is clean and basic."


"Weekend stay at Sunny Lane"

(Australia) Martine

"Sunny Lane is in a very convenient part of town. The self-catering cottage was clean and provided everything we needed. The cottage is not serviced on weekends. "


"Sunny Lane - Franschhoek South Africa"

(Uganda) Mr Hjortdal

"Very good value for money. Nice, quiet, clean and cosy guesthouse. Nice privacy and to me much better than the usual hotel hustle.

"Nice Little Guest House in Town"

(South Africa) anonymous

"Convenient little guest house. Has everything you need for a weekend of wine tasting and eating out. The pool is also great as it can get hot in the summer!"


"Another gem"

(United Kingdom) Mr Bubbear

"A very pleasant stay but too short. The accommodation was excellent and the welcome friendly.
I was able to book my return seats via the internet - an invaluable service not provided by all.
This was our first trip to South Africa and our first wholly DIY trip. We'll be doing it again based ..."

"Sunny Lane Franschhoek"

(South Africa) Mrs Paterson

"The units were both neat and clean with very comfortable beds. The pool was most refreshing in the heat of summer.
As the two units are very close together it would be ideal to have two couples book out the units.

We certainly enjoyed ourselves!"


"Perfect romantic getaway!"

"Down the lavender lined garden path, our self catering cottage at Sunny Lane in Franschhoek exceeded all our expectations. It was spacious, airy, comfortable, private, secure and very clean. We had the use of the swimming pool which was lovely on a hot day. Our hosts Barbara and Peter were very friendly and helpful.
The cottage was conveniently situated in a pretty street, quiet, set well back a couple of blocks up from the main road, yet only a few minutes walk down to all the restaurants and shops. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sunny Lane to any visitors wishing to stay in Franschhoek on a self-catering basis.

"Nice place"

(South Africa) Ms Antonazzo

"A nice, quaint place in walking distance from town. Spacious and heated floors for winter!"


"We loved it!"

"Sunny Lane was great. A lovely little oasis in a fantastic location in central Franschhoek. We loved it! The owner was friendly, but left us largely on our own, which was nice after we had spent a fair few nights in one of the up market resources (equally lovely, but we just fancied chilling a bit). Sunny Lane offered just that opportunity to chill. It is set back from the main house down a delightfully lavender scented lane, has a lovely terrace with vines growing on it and access to a small kitchenette and the house pool. It was clean and serviced daily while we were there. Incredible value for money. We will definitely recommend Sunny Lane to friends visiting South Africa and may even return ourselves since we both enjoyed our stay so much."


"Sunny Lane Franschhoek"

(United Kingdom) Mrs du Toit

Lovely house, gardens and pool and very quiet. Easy walking distance
to the lovely shops and restaurants of beautiful Franschhoek.

"Spacious, friendly and peaceful"

(South Africa) Ms Farrelly

"Spacious with everything you need. Walking distance to centre. Very friendly and welcoming family. Beautiful and peaceful outdoor areas to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. We had a wonderful stay!"


"Relaxing and peaceful Accomodation"

(South Africa) anonymous

"Rooms where spacious and neat as well as the bathroom, living room and kitchen area. Much bigger than what we've seen on the internet. Good value for your money. Stunning Pool area with quiet surroundings. Safe for little ones to play around."

"Sunny Lane is a delightfully located self catering facility located in the garden of a family home in Franschoek. It is very convenient for the attractions of the village but is well placed in a quiet little backwater. The two apartments were ideal for the three of us on our trip and offered really good value for money for the location. The swimming pool was of a reasonable size and very clean and we would happily have spent our entire stay around it.
However it is difficult to award more than three stars. This is not a luxurious establishment and the time is probably approaching when a little refurbishment is required and we would only recommend to others on the understanding that they must not expect it to match many of the other, albeit more expensive, properties available in the area.
However for us it was absolutely charming and we will almost certainly return to stay on our next visit to South Africa. "

The owners are friendly and helpful without being obtrusive and the location is perfect for exploring Franschhoek and the surrounding beautiful countryside!"


"Good stay in Franschhoek"

(South Africa) Michelle Marani

"Stayed in Sunny Lane for 2 nights, the room was bigger than expected, clean and more then adequate for our weekend. "


"Sunny Lane - 06 July"

(South Africa) Mr Hlongwa

"Comfortable - however the tea-set could be freshly filled for the new guest. T

he place seems to be collecting some dust under the bed and over the tea-set."

"The aroma of lavender greets you as you walk through the green wooden door. Destination: Franschhoek. Address: 30 Akademie Street.
Bliss await in a picturesque town.
Sunny Lane self catering overnight accommodation in Franschhoek is a charming little gem, situated in the heart of the village.
The suites are fully equipped, with under floor heating as an added bonus, which kept us warm during our Winter stay. We stayed in the larger apartment which consist of a lounge and open-plan kitchen, plus double bedroom with full bathroom en-suite.
The suites each has its own patio - to soak up the tranquility of the garden and the mountain view.
Sunny Lane offers affordable luxury and is the perfect stay in the food and wine capitol of South Africa."


"Very Good Self-Accomodation with Heated Floors"

(Sweden) Mrs Amundsen

"Very good apartment with a lot of space. The heated floor was really good in the cold mornings in June. Situated near to the centre in a quiet neighbourhood. "


"Nice room, but service not really good"

(Germany) Ms Mester

"The room was small but nice. When we arrived, the door and the window were open and a cat lies on the bed. Because of the lavender around the house a lot of moths were flying in the room, some even died in the bed! (A fly-grating would help.)

During our 4-night stay nobody cleaned the sleep..."

During our 4-night stay nobody cleaned the sleeping and the bathroom. The day before we left the accommodation, Barbara wrote us a letter to tell us she will not be at home before next day´s afternoon and we should let the outstanding money in the room."


"Great Location, Great Value"
