The breakfasts were top notch. We were spoilt for choice. Presentation mouth-watering. Could not have asked for more. Our hosts, Francois and Marinda made us feel so welcome. They are gracious and attentive and are a mine of information regarding places to visit and restaurants to try. The location is ideal, near shops and quiet and peaceful. The view from our room and the deck is absolutely stunning.

There was absolutely nothing we did not like. This was our envisaged and perfect weekend getaway.

Great place to stay in Plett. François and his wife are just the loveliest hosts. The room we stayed was the green one; it was spacious, with a large and clean bathroom and a comfortable bed. It should have great views of the bay, although it was foggy when we were there. For the night, you can park inside the gate, which is very safe. Finally, the breakfast was fantastic, one of the best we had in our trip. The outside area is also great for hanging around, we didn't enjoy much because it was foggy.

Really nothing related to the place. Just the weather that was foggy.

The guest house is very well located. The hosts were lovely and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfasts were amazing - and far exceeded our expectations. The bed was comfortable and the hosts have a very charming and loveable scottish terrier who won my heart!

The rooms are a little small and could do with an update, although they were clean and well presented. It would have been nice to have had a fridge in our room, although there was a communal fridge available. Unfortunately there was something in the room that triggered my asthma, so I did not sleep as well as I might have done, which is why we probably wouldn't stay there again..

Francois and Marinda were amazing hosts, welcoming us and offering advice and guidance on local beaches, restaurants etc. Property was very well located for Main St and would recommend car or Uber to beach, as distance is not great but hills are steep. Property was safe, clean, with a choice of breakfast offerings, the ‘Plankie’ was great ! Would happily return !

Lovely room and very helpful hosts who took great care of us during our stay. The breakfasts are simply sensational and you certainly won't give hungry. There's also a separate kitchen/sitting area where you can use the microwave to heat up your own food if you wish. Location is a short walk from restaurants and shops.

Wifi connection not great, but it's a minor criticism and certainly doesn't affect the 10 rating.

The room was well equipped. Only the bathroom is very small but still o. k. for one person. Therefore the price is a bit high in comparrison to other places. The view over Plettenberg Bay is great. Breakfast is fantastic!! The homemade platter was really great. Thank you for all the extras you offered like muffins and wishes for a save journey when I left.

Francois and Marinda set a standard that must be difficult to emulate. They clearly love hosting each and every guest. The place is spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable and the breakfast was exquisite, with special touches each day. Added to that, there is also access to a guest kitchen with other special treats! As well as lots of activities a short drive in the local area, with there are many excellent restaurants in safe walkable distance. We really enjoyed our stay at Franmarel and would highly recommend it.

This was by far our best stay in South Africa. Not only the view from the terrace and our room was beautiful, but especially the hosts are lovely, welcoming and help you out with whatever you need. They gave us great recommendations which never disappointed. They put a lot of effort in small details, which made our stay so comfortable. The breakfast was unbelievable and cared for. Overall a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely come back.

The location was just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. Lots of restaurants to choose from. There was a partially restricted view of the mountains and sea, partially blocked by a house that was illegally built in front of Franmarel. The central and point beach were a few minutes drive to reach. We stayed for 6 nights, but felt we had only scratched the surface of all that was on offer in "Plett". Breakfast was incredibly well planned and served. A different starter was offered each day. Plenty to choose from. Francois and Marinda are the nicest of people, so friendly and helpful. We can only offer thanks to them both for a great stay.

The bed in our room was very noisy when you turned over during the night, so probably need a little bit of TLC.

FranMAREL is in a quiet part of town, easily and safely walkable to lots of restaurants . Francoise and Marinda are perfect hosts. You feel as though the place is yours but they are there if you need them, from dinner reservations to the most amazing breakfast.
