“I note the location in Franschhoek is certainly a strategic advantage. The hotel strikes a balance between modern industrial and Victorian design; this translates to individually decorated rooms tailored for comfort, with welcome touches like fireplaces. I also see potential in the curated picnic and bubbly tasting experiences, if well-executed.”
