Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Set against a backdrop of imposing mountains and rolling vineyards, Last Word Franschhoek blends serene luxury with Cape Winelands allure – a short stroll from renowned restaurants, art galleries, and historical wine estates.

Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and refined, with a light-dappled guest lounge opening onto a sun-filled courtyard featuring a sparkling pool. The hotel features 8 spacious Superior Rooms, as well as 2 Pool Suites with semi-private plunge pools and a leafy courtyard – all designed for restful private stays. The contemporary interiors feature high ceilings, classic detailing, floral motifs, and thoughtful touches throughout.

Begin your day with an al fresco breakfast before taking a leisurely stroll to nearby tasting rooms, hopping aboard the Franschhoek Wine Tram, or venturing into the surrounding mountains for a scenic hike. Evenings at the hotel are laid-back – unwind with a complimentary glass of wine or a drink in the lounge, or opt for an in-room massage to round off the day.
