This charming lodge exceeded my expectations in every way.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Francke Lodge in Strand, Western Cape, and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. The accommodations at Francke Lodge were superb. The rooms were immaculately clean, well-appointed, and tastefully decorated. The attention to detail was evident throughout, from the comfortable bedding to the thoughtful amenities provided. The staff at Francke Lodge were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable and stress-free. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for, as they were always available to assist with any inquiries or special requests I had. Their warm hospitality truly made a difference and added to the overall exceptional experience. The location of Francke Lodge couldn't be better. Situated in Strand, it offers easy access to the beautiful beaches, local attractions, and nearby amenities. Whether you're looking to relax on the sandy shores, explore the scenic surroundings, or indulge in the local cuisine, you'll find everything conveniently within reach. Additionally, the lodge's facilities added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. I also appreciated the secure parking and the free Wi-Fi, both of which were convenient and reliable. Overall, Francke Lodge exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Whether you're visiting Strand for business or pleasure, I highly recommend considering Francke Lodge for an exceptional stay. I will definitely be returning on my future trips to the area. Thank you for providing such a memorable experience and making my stay in Strand truly unforgettable.

Aangename gasheer en dame en die ontvangs was puik.

Ons was baie gerieflik en het geen klagtes nie. Sal beslis Francke Lodge aanbeveel vir my vriende en familie en sal graag weer daar wil tuisgaan wanneer ek weer Gordonsbaai toe gaan. Sal dit 'n gereelde vakansiebestemming maak.

Ons het baie laat die aand daar aangekom en die eienaars het ons met ope arms verwelkom.

Hulle gasvryheid is ongelooflik. Die kamers is mooi. Hul het ons baie gehelp en ons gaan definitief terugkeer as ons weer in Strand is. Elke sekonde by Francke Lodge was ons gemaklik en het welkom gevoel. Dit was regtig baie lekker.

We arrived there very late in the evening and the owners welcomed us with open arms.

Their hospitality is amazing. The rooms are nice. They helped us a lot and we will definitely return when we are in Strand again. Every second at Francke Lodge we were comfortable and felt welcome. It was really very nice.

Guests were not free as owners are staying at the same accommodation. Facilities promised were not provided, eg. free WiFi etc.

We paid R1000 from Cape Town station to the lodge.

Francke Lodge 's response

I am sorry that your experience at Francke Lodge did not meet with your expectations. I wish to clarify that my personal and permanent accommodation is separate from the main house, with its own bathroom, kitchen and stairs leading to the outside. I am careful to minimise my interaction with my guests. I am available in case there are queries.
Although I have access to the main house, I do not enter whilst there are guests. I have since learnt that the \Wi-Fi passwords should be prominently displayed in each room. Thank you for helping to clarify this, I will be doing so in future.
Your transport was arranged between you and a separate service provider. It is not part of the services offered by my establishment. I am therefore not able to comment on this matter.
I thank you for your review, which will aide Francke Lodge in providing the perfect client experience.

Excellent accommodation with the best service ever and great hosts.

Francke Lodge is definitely a home away from home. The accommodation was more than perfect and our hosts were not just friendly and caring, in fact they made us feel as if we were family. I would highly recommend this lodge to absolutely everyone.

Goeie ontvangs en lekker rustig sonder steuring.

Alles is 100% wat jy verwag van 'n lodge, ek sal net aanbeveel volle DStv-pakket, veral vir die duurder kamers.

Good welcoming and so peaceful, with no one bothering us.

'n Heerlike nag se rus met al die nodige geriewe en hope gasvryheid.

Die vriendelike ontvangs en behulpsaamheid het ons besonder welkom laat voel. Daar was al die nodige geriewe en veilige parkering agter 'n veiligheidshek. Die kinders het dit baie geniet om op die bunk beds te slaap dit was 'n heerlike nag se rus.
