Kettle's Guesthouse

The house has a good view and in the pool you can lay down and spend some time there taking the sun.

The location of the house is completely inconvenient if you don’t have a car. It is 40 mins walking to the beach, there are no supermarkets or restaurants close, to move to any place you have to use uber/bolt or walk for 30 mins to arrive to the closest supermarket. The area is nice, but going to the center can take you 30 mins or more by uber, and sometimes it is really difficult that drivers accept the trip as it is far. So, to eat you have to order uber eats or going down and comeback with uber which is expensive. Apart from that, everything was good in the apartment until the check out. The only person that was in then place was the cleaning lady and we asked if we can leave our luggage for 2 hours because our flight was until 5pm (the checkout is at 10), and she agreed but immediately asked for tips for the whole staff, I understand the part of the tips, but the fact that she asked for that as it was an obligation was super rude.

Finding the place was easy but it is sometimes a little bit of a wait for the Uber as it is a tad bit out of the way. But that doesn’t matter much when you think of the incredible view that you get on the bay and the mountains behind you too. I truly enjoyed waking up and seeing the sun come up from behind the mountain and then seeing the sun set from the balcony. The place was spotless. It was very clean and had everything I needed. The bed was so very comfortable and just firm enough. The pool was very enjoyable and kept clean as well. All areas of the property were in good shape and well maintained. Candice was very lovely too and she did allow me to drop my luggage earlier even if check in was much latter which I truly appreciated.

It is not so much that I disliked anything. But the wind was quite strong and my balcony door was rattling quite a lot because of that. But that’s the weather and there’s no controlling that. Putting one of the balcony’s chairs against the door to keep it in place at night, did the trick! :)

Amazing views and location. We absolutely loved this accomodation and it was the perfect place to relax and soak up the endless views. The room was very clean and cozy and was very safe as well. I can’t want to come back!

Keys are labeled so can be a bit hard. Otherwise nothing.

all was good

location

Pictures don’t quite do the property justice - the grounds, interior and rooms are beautifully decorated and we particularly enjoyed the outside terrace with perfect views over Camps Bay, Table Mountain and Lion’s head. The terrace gets sun all day and we could admire beautiful sunsets too. The location of the property is perfect to explore Cape Town and surrounding areas. I can’t comment on parking, but we found it very easy (and affordable) to get around by Uber black. The room was very comfortable, we even had a small kitchen unit which was great for making breakfast and beautiful garden views. The cleaning service was top notch too. We had a peacock chilling in front of our window every now and then too! Overall we loved our stay and will definitely return.

Everything was great

Great location for camps bay with parking outside. Pool area is lovely (although pool not very clean when we were there). Rooms comfortable and great view from pool area and common area. We were granted early check in which was much appreciated

Staff not very welcoming for cost of stay. Very loud if the wind is bad!
