We had an amazing stay here. The place.is lovely and the staff were brilliant. It was so comfortable! We had spent the day on the wine tram, which was lovely. The room was exceptional - it was so comfortable and generously sized. The breakfast was delicious and service great. Would definitely return if we go back to the area. ##### Kirsty Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lewis 8 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay We had a fantastic stay at Residence Vive La Vie. We were warmly greeted upon our early arrival and were very happy that they were able to have our room ready (after a very long flight). Our cottage was spacious and well appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the center of town, very convenient. The breakfast was phenomenal, fresh cut fruit and made to order dishes prepared by some talented chefs every day. Highly recommend! ##### Lewis Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josephine 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities All the rooms are different but all are good-sized. Our room has double bathroom sinks, a large shower, a chaise lounge in addition to two armchairs. Very comfy. The breakfasts are excellent! Their so-called mini-continental is big enough to fill up most people: fresh baked muffin, croissant, fresh fruit, cheeses& meats, yogurt, juice, coffee. But you can also add eggs Benedict, omelette, shashuska, French toast— all included! We were in the winter but I can see how nice it’d be to enjoy their pool and gardens in the summer. Highly recommend. ##### Josephine Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabine 20 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### beautiful new guest house Very warm welcome with a glass of MCC. The rooms are new and elegantly furnished and have a terrasse to the pool area. The pool area is kept very beautiful. Great breakfast is prepared in the open kitchen by Anje and her staff. We had the chance to meet the very friendly owners that gave us some recommendations for the wineries and restaurants in Franschhoek. The location is about 10 walking minutes to the city centre. will definitely visit again if we have the chance. ##### Sabine ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danièle 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Viva la Vie ist ein sehr schönes, kleines Hotel, das perfekt gelegen ist, wenn man die Wine-Tram nutzen möchte. In nur 10 Minuten ist man zu Fuß an der Haltestelle. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet und groß. An manchen Stellen ist die Eineichtung ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Einiges könnte ausgebessert werden. Es ist allerdings alles absolut vertretbar. Das Frühstück ist fantastisch und das ganze Team ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Pool hätte ein kleines bisschen sauberer sein können, aber da wir eh nur einen Tag da waren, haben wir ihn ohnehin nicht viel genutzt. Wir können diese Unterkunft daher absolut weiterempfehlen. ![Schönes großes Zimmer](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/53afe4e8-11cf-4f26-9d92-d9e763f62b12-1761929000193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danièle Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lieven 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super verblijf gehad.

Parking available for a car or 2\. Room clean and comfortable however was very cold. This ruined my stay. Needed extra heater. Used aircon to get some warmth. Shower was good. Main disappointment was not refunded for part of stay as had to leave 2 days early. ##### kieran Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theunis, Oakland Park 10 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Second time here and loved it even more.
