Our take
Plumwood suits couples who want a peaceful, luxurious retreat in Franschhoek built around wellness and relaxation. Franschhoek lies outside any malaria risk area, and the guesthouse is adults-only, so families cannot book it. The pool, the mountain views and the oversized bathrooms set the tone. Guests who want a lively, family-friendly setting should look elsewhere, and I would choose Plumwood for the quiet and the comfort.
- Book a room with a balcony or patio to fully appreciate the mountain views.
- Take advantage of the sun loungers by the outdoor pool for a relaxing afternoon.
- Explore the historical heart of Franschhoek, which is just a short stroll away.
Why we love it
- Adults-only tranquility for a peaceful stay
- Oversized bathrooms in every luxury room
- Private balcony or patio with mountain views
- Outdoor pool with sun loungers for relaxation
Why guests love itPlumwood is adults-only, so it is not an option for families with children, and I would point them to another Franschhoek address. Couples will find an outdoor pool with sun loungers, mountain views and air-conditioned rooms with oversized bathrooms and a balcony or patio. The focus is on quiet and wellness, which makes it a natural fit for honeymoons and restful stays between wine-estate visits.
