What you should know about LA FONTAINE GUEST HOUSE

Guest House in Franschhoek, Bed and Breakfast in Franschhoek

La Fontaine Franschhoek offers characterful accommodation just a short walk to the main street, Huguenot Road (R45) with its restaurants, shops and galleries. We invite you to enjoy the authentic ambience and warm charm which has come to characterise La Fontaine Franschhoek. Built in 1895, this fine example of a Victorian homestead was first occupied by a family from the village of Campbell in the Karoo. In 2003, it became the property of Linquenda Guest House cc and was run as part of La Fontaine Franschhoek. After substantial renovations in 2004 to bring it back to its former glory both to the buildings and garden, it was brought into operation and has become an integral part of La Fontaine Guest House. Meals are well balanced and in accordance with the best scientific requirements. Breakfasts are served outside under the vine covered pergola or in the breakfast room. Fresh produce is sourced locally by Dawn, a trained chef ensuring that we offer the best breakfast in Franschhoek! Our knowledge of local culture, history and wine making is very extensive as we have been in the Franschhoek Valley since 1982 and have been involved at La Fontaine for 14 years. Rates are very competitive and offer unbeatable value for money. A grey water system has been installed to recycle bath and shower water. We request that you switch off lights, heaters and air-conditioners when leaving the room. Insulation in the roof of the guest house is made from re-cycled paper. Supplies for La Fontaine are bought locally with re-usable carrier bags. Lafontaine Guest House is involved with a number of social investment activities ranging from supporting local cultural activities to community development through cricket, and also wider community and charity involvements. La Fontaine Guest House sponsors the Green Room which is a meeting point where the presenters come to relax and enjoy refreshments of tea, coffee, sandwiches, and a glass of local wine before heading off to their next presentations. The Green Room is made available and after the performance members of the audience are invited to a finger lunch. As sport, and specifically cricket, is the owner’s love, it is in this field that the local communities of the greater Drakenstein Valley are supported by La Fontaine Guest House. Ladies Cricket: This support has been very successful in developing the local team into one which has grown in stature. It has not only won the club championships in all codes on a regular basis, but has provided players for both the Provincial and National teams in the u19 and open age groups. Up to twelve junior schools participate, most of whom are from very disadvantaged communities. The staff compliment has been very stable since inception in 2001, losing only four, mainly to retirement. A Hospitality manager, Kathie, an Assistant manager, Dawn, a Bookkeeper, Shirley, four Housekeepers, Charmaine, Georgina, Ragel and Lizaan, a Laundry Lady, Brenda, a Handyman, Trevor and a Gardner, William, make up the Team. Their skills have been developed predominantly through in-house training from Kathie, who is skilled and experienced in Home Economics.
