A very good place to stay as I did not expect it to be so nice. The room was fantastic, and the breakfast was exceptional and well worth the reasonable price. I would stay here again and highly recommended.

This one is a keeper....

The proprietors are most welcoming, and no doubt receive a lot of repeat custom as a result. The place is beautiful, and it's setting and location are stunning. The bedrooms are thoughtfully provided for, and tastefully decorated. I will definitely be heading back here when next in Cape Town.

Stunning property. Some of the rooms are designed like private cottages and have their own separate entrances. Although in a guest house, this gives a more private feel. It is very tastefully decorated. The property owners are wonderful - friendly and accommodating. If ever in Cape Town again, this is where I will be staying.

Le stanze sono pulite e ben arredate. La casa complessivamente accogliente. Personale disponibile e simpatico anche per colazione fuori orario la mattina presto. La zona non sembra particolarmente sicura. Peccato per gli asciugamani veramente "datati" .

Exxceptionnel !

Un établissement superbe dans lequel nous avons passé un séjour extraordinaire. La chambre Deluxe est très confortable. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et très bon. Et surtout Sarah et John, les propriétaires de la Guesthouse sont exceptionnels. En plus de leur extrême gentillesse, ils ont su nous guider dans l'organisation de nos visites !
