Guest Reviews
- DL (10/5): A quality experience in a warm, welcoming environment. - A lovely guest house, lots of character, central location, on-site parking and a very warm welcome from Philip! Our room was immaculate, elegant and spacious and we enjoyed our breakfast in the morning. All very thoughtful and well organised. We really do recommend this lovely spot for a traditional guest house experience. Nothing, all great!

- Philippa (10/5): You will love this place! - This is my second review as we left and came back the following weekend. This place was amazing. So accommodating with keeping our bags and taking care of our every need. We will always remember Max’s iced cucumber water by the pool and Philip and Steven’s amazing breakfasts ☺️ Nothing
- Tanya (8/5): Great - Location Nothing

- Elani (10/5): Home away from home 🏡 - Home away from home..Feels like visiting family! Received a warm welcome from the always smiling staff.
Great location and facilities. That I had to leave....
- LORRAINE (10/5): Awesome . - Everything about this B&B was amazing - the location is just perfect especially for the two oceans marathon - Steven our host was so friendly, helpful and obliging. Will definitely recommend and will be back . 👍
- Philippa (10/5): Don't hesitate to stay here. You won't be disappointed! - We loved everything about this guesthouse, from the warmest of welcomes from Max and Stephen, the ongoing attention to our every need of Philip, our room, the pool and the amazing breakfasts which definitely set us up for the day. We felt we were ideally located in this area as nothing was more than a short, low-cost uber ride away. We were given great advice on where to go to eat and where to visit. We went away for a weekend and were able to leave some luggage safely stored at the guest house which was really helpful. Any down time we had was spent in the lovely gardens, next to the pool, taking in some gorgeous SA sun rays. There is a school next door but this didn't detract from our time. There is also a small gym where we spent a few happy moments doing some yoga or a quick workout which really helped us feel better for the wedding we were going to attend later. Max, Stephen and Philip couldn't have done any more to make our stay comfortable and most memorable. We highly recommend this fabulous guest house in Rondebosch! Nothing.
- Janette (10/5): It was a treat staying here. Every detail was without fault. We loved it ! -
- Jenelle (7/5): - The location was good for where we needed to be. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It was just what we needed for our 1 night stay Some of the rooms are upstairs and was a challenge with large suitcases as this was the start of a long time away from home so we had more luggage than one would normally have for a 1 nights stay somewhere

He knows exactly how to make the guests comfortabel and relaxing.
Furthermore this house breaches the most elegant and luxurious style of classic decoration which is executed in perfection.
They even have a very nice located and hygienic gym where you can use difference fitness apparatus and tools. It was difficult to take a hot water shower in the luxe suite.

- Hans-Eberhard (7/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und war bemüht das Frühstück gut zuzubereiten.

- Joshua (8/5): A clean, convenient place to stay in CT. - Convenient location near Rondebosch; comfortable bedroom; friendly service when available. Lack of staff - e.g. on the day of arrival, we waited at the gate for 15 minutes before anyone buzzed us in; staff always helpful when available, but often there was no-one around. Didn't know that our room looked out onto a primary school, and that there would be noise from about 7 AM onwards.

- Dudu (9/5): -

Номер просторный, чистый, с приватный выводом во двор.
Отличный вариант для тех, кто ценит тишину, приватность и хороший сервис без лишней суеты.

- Ian (10/5): We've stayed there about 5 times, so I think that sums up how we feel - Did not have breakfast nothing
- Leilani (9/5): Close to all Cape Town has to offer, great staff and good value - We loved our stay here, we felt very safe and there is great parking onsite if you are driving. A bit tricky to get in and out of the property but you get used to it after a while. The room was a great size, we had some laundry which was done within in a day at a very reasonable cost. The staff were amazing and very helpful. Breakfast was a bit samey but I think in busier months there would be more options. This is a great value for money option with good amenities. We used the BBQ on our first night too, this was a pleasant surprise to have as an option instead of constantly eating out. Nothing
