The Citizen – “The sweetest selection of cottages in the Cape Winelands.” – “— they renovated sublimely, creating the best little nest, the sweetest little hideaway in a place awash with wonderful places to stay.” - “Breakfast should be declared a national monument, for it’s rare that finer can be found even in pricey five star follies. It’s served beneath a pergola entwined with grapevines, at sun-dappled marble tables.”
Rooi Rose - Chosen as the best honeymoon rooms in the Winelands. - “Elegant simplicity inside, an exceptional garden outside.” ***
Elle Decoration – “Dans le village, l’un des plus jolis jardins.”
Rapport – “In one of the most beautiful valleys in the world visitors to Franschhoek enjoy a great choice of places to stay. With the new offering of Akademie Street Guesthouses there awaits an exceptional experience – from Gelatenheid (Equanimity) to Oortuiging (Conviction). Arthur and Kathy Mc William Smith’s Akademie Street Guesthouses collection is rich in atmosphere, luxury, peace and privacy.” - “Gelatenheid is cut out for the connoisseur who wants something luxurious but very individual. It is the ideal hiding place for the traveller who is no longer impressed with five star hotels.” ***
Die Burger – “The cool restfulness of the houses with their attractive gardens full of herbs and shrubs and a peaceful fountain.” ***
Sawubona - “Tasteful, tranquil and unpretentious, the three guesthouses are all set on one gorgeous property, but each has its own unique character (and private swimming pool)”
Wineland - “To sleep in Gelatenheid is a little bit like sleeping in an art gallery” - - Luxurious finishes, space and comfort laid down by an artistic hand” ***
Winescape - “There are a myriad guesthouses and B&B’s --- But I’ve found the best. It consists of three separate little houses together known as the Akademie Street Guesthouses. – I want to live there, and grow lemon trees amid the poppies and make wine.”
