Guest Reviews
- Karen (9/5): - Beautiful design, unique place
- Nastasha (10/5): Stunning place! Will be back!! - The property is beautifully done up. The hot tub was the highlight of our stay. The rooms were stunning, so many added extras like salt for the bath tub, bubble bath, all made it extra special. The breakfast was divine, and Lloyd was also great. Nothing it was fab!!
- Soraya (10/5): Incredible place with great location! - The hotel is incredible! Bonus point for the Nordic spa !! Nothing specifically
- Ulrike (1/5): Nicht zu empfehlen! - Wir haben hier garnicht übernachtet, wir sind geflüchtet, das Haus, der Garten war sehr vernachlässigt, nichts war so wie wir es in die Bilder auf Booking.com gesehen haben. Alles! Wir haben eine neue Bleibe suchen müssen!
- McIntyre (8/5): - Breakfast
- Colin (10/5): Great older style house with a full porch and the staff were great especially Saydaa - Lovely location and staff The staff - a young man called Saydaa
- annie (9/5): A great stay in a lovely location!! - Lovely decor, friendly staff, great location for beach , shops and cafes! No window in my room so had to keep light on.
- 18166e78dea173e80a1f3c6c92d7c9e9 (7/5): -
- ad31d7ac7997737a276f63424579a66e (10/5): Just fab especially the staff who were lovely - The breakfast and location were amazing I can’t think of anything
- 82d16a88c21c720e13595245647c227a (10/5): -
- d386d312006073cdacc29da77ed035af (10/5): Это был потрясающий отель 10/10 - Расположение идеальное, рядом железная дорога, но это не мешает. Пляж рядом, кафе, магазины, набережная. Персонал отзывчий, готовый всегда помочь и предоставить все запрашиваемое. Номера чистые, предусмотрено все, мини бар с водой, газ т без, халаты, фен, сервис 10 и 10, парковка городская бесплатная напротив отеля Хотелось бы за эту сумму включить завтрак
- 02710f7707d471e7c1459d744c912c14 (10/5): - Wonderful guest house, beautiful space, rooms and different nooks and crannies to sit, relax and enjoy the stunning view. Each bedroom was beautifully decorated with incredible attention to detail. The hot tub on the terrace with views of the sea and mountains was the icing on the cake! Excellent service from the staff, so helpful throughout the stay. Nothing!
- Liesel (10/5): - Beautifully curated Nothing
- Kirsten (10/5): - This is such a calm space. The breakfast is lovely and Lloyd is a great host.
- Mrs K (7/5): -
- Linda (7/5): Great Views - We stayed here as I’ve always been curious about this spot overlooking the ocean. The location is lovely, and the views are definitely a highlight. We did end up moving rooms as we could hear our neighbours quite clearly, which wasn’t ideal.
That said, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the beds are very comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach If you’re a light sleeper, just be aware that traffic noise can be quite noticeable as the area gets busy, and parking can also be a bit of a challenge.
- Michael du Plessis (10/5): The Stoep - Staff were friendly and exceptionally helpful. Location is amazing. Room was good.
It was a quick walk to anywhere in the area. Some updates needed. Carpets have water stains, bathroom has damp spots.
Needed to login to the TV to be able to watch anything.
- Kim (10/5): -
- Kathleen (8/5): Lovely for a one night stay - excellent location especially. Suited our needs! - Super friendly helpful staff. Easy checkin - although we did have to go and find someone when we arrived. Lovely chilled vibe. Excellent location. Lovely breakfast served outside our room. Could have some improved privacy. Our room was lovely but did get quite stuffy - would’ve loved an conditioner or stronger fan. A few little things needed attention - the sparkling water in the fridge was a nice touch but the lid wasn’t sealed tightly so it wasn’t sparkling. A dirty water glass. Loose towel rail. Our breakfast dishes weren’t cleared - so left for more than an hour outside our room after being done etc.
- Rachael (10/5): Great stay - Loved our rooms, the balcony and breakfast. Faith looked after us from the moment we arrived until we left.
- Alan (7/5): - Room decor is modern. Nice bathroom. Staff accommodating. On the main road. Not as relaxing when on this main thoroughfare. My room lacked any air flow, but other rooms might be better. Limited natural
light in this downstairs room without compromising privacy.
- Andre (10/5): Perfect location, beautiful views and Faith was very friendly and helpful. - Perfect location, beautiful views and Faith was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again.
- Neil (8/5): We were happy, and felt taken care of in this beautiful, quaint hotel. - We loved the location and the aesthetic of The Stoep. It looked rusty and felt like it tried hard to keep the original Cape Dutch style with a splash of modern. We didn't stay very long so we didn't get a chance to use the jacuzzi or try the wine tasting. I also thought the WhatsApp group was very clever and a nice personal touch. My 2 cents, I think the large TV in each room were a bit weird. I don't think they go well with the place spoilt it a little for me. We immediately turned it off. The toilet in our room doesn't flush well. We had to always flush 3 times for the toilet paper to finally go away. The taps in the shower made us giggle. It was like trying to solve a puzzle on how to close the taps. The cold water shower tap opens if you turn it left or right and when you try to shut off the water it's a bit of a game.
It sounds like I am moaning, but those 3 points are really really minor.
- healymac (9/5): -
- Lindsy (8/5): We will definitely be back, thanks. - Loved the interior and the location The kitchen in the cottage is not properly stocked, there is no dustbin, ice bucket, sponges, just a few things that were missing.
- Sophie (4/5): Not as expected. - The staff were incredible at this property, they were so helpful and lovely and were incredibly welcoming. Excellent location and views. Unfortunately, the property was satisfactory and felt more like a nice hostel as opposed to a hotel. The building was extremely run down, with the aesthetics clearly rushed and not fully completed; with the smell of paint and plastering in our room. There were cracks, poor plastering with limited facilities. The bathroom particularly did not resemble the photos in the slightest, with no natural light, an incomplete interior, with no hand soap, no shelves to store cosmetics and an unwelcome surprise of cockroaches in the bathroom. In the bedroom, the layout was very poorly designed, with plug sockets in the wrong places meaning that a cord ran across the floor space to keep the fridge on; with the fridge then emitting an extremely bright light that meant we had to unplug it during the night. The outdoor space outside our room felt more communal as opposed to being private, with other guests at the hotel using the space directly outside our room which felt a little invasive. It felt like the property had been ‘done up’ in a very short time period, and has never been fully finished. We were very disappointed, as the photos made the property feel like a lavish room and hotel stay, but the reality is that this property has huge flaws from a structural point of view, despite the aesthetics being nice to cover the cracks. Poor value for money.
- Neal (10/5): -
- Batya (5/5): Not worth the price - The location is beautiful and the house itself has charm. The interior decoration, layout and attention to detail is poor and cheap. For places in this price range one expects top quality, well maintained and comfortable interior. The staff are friendly but overall it’s clear that the Ideas Cartel saw an opportunity for another property, took it over and turned it into a BnB in the cheapest way possible.
We saw a similar thing happen at Sonnekus guest house- we stayed there three times and then decided to never go back.
- Alfred (10/5): A lovely stay - we will definitely return! - A lovely hotel guesthouse with beautiful views, and very friendly and helpful staff. We also particularly enjoyed the rooftop hot tub! Nothing
- Carli (9/5): Excellent - Great location, beautiful room It was HOT! Room could really do with at least a ceiling fan
- Karin (8/5): Great memories to take with - Wonderful location and friendly staff, they made you feel at home
- Chanel (6/5): A lovely stay for a night away however, a lot of maintenance needs to be put in to meet the price. - Location is amazing - right near the Dalebrook tidal pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I paid a lot for a one night stay (over R3k) and the room needed a lot of maintenance - there were holes in the wall, paint peeling off the shower, some finishes were broken and had not been repaired well. It was disappointing especially when paying such a high rate - the expectation is that it would be flawless.
- Zechmann (8/5): - The Staff Not enough space for breakfast
- Gerhard Scheepers (10/5): Amazing!!!! - The area was stunning, the hot tub was a win, the room was truly amazing. And the staff was sooo friendly and accomodating. N/A
- Anja (9/5): - Love the look & feel of the place, also breakfast was nice, cute room, very spacious. It’s next to the street and thus a bit loud if you are a sensitive sleeper.
- Sander (9/5): -
- Jeanine (8/5): Beautiful location, friendly staff & attractive interiors but lacks that finer touch. - The location is magnificent & the staff is super friendly but same issue as at Stoep. They need a proper manager. The attention to detail is lacking. Damp in the shower. Badly finished finishes. Peeling wall paper. We couldn’t order wine or bubbly and apparently they couldn’t get it from Stoep either. They forgot to turn on the hot tub for our morning session. Cleaning cloths left outside to dry. Just general tardiness.
- natalie (8/5): Lovely location, great staff. Comfortably furnished - Location and lovely comfortable furnishings in the room Didn’t like the steps to access the other side of the property - a gate would’ve been better.
The bedroom is stuffy during the night as the windows can open but can be a security Irish.
- Cecilia (9/5): Delightful Kalkbay stay - Stoep is conveniently located in the heart of Kalkbay, close to restaurants shops as well as the tidal pool. There is a lovely coastal walkway that stretches in both directions as you leave the hotel. It is a perfect stay for our purpose of a quick breakaway weekend. Faith and staff were ever so helpful and the breakfasts were delicious and plentiful! We love the decor and old work charm of the hotel so tastefully decorated. Our favourite was enjoying the hot tub at night looking at the stars and listening to the sea.
- Carl (9/5): Well located and beautifully furnished property. Faith was a great hostess -
- Matthias (8/5): -
- Rachel (8/5): Fun & great location with lovely staff - The location of this guesthouse is perfect for a stay in Kalk Bay & has the most wonderful balcony looking out to sea where you can sit & relax. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. The room was quite hot although a fan was provided
- Ingrid (10/5): Fabulous 3 night stay staff great and friendly loved the hot tub and space - The staff were so friendly and helpful
The location was great and views from the hot tub fabulous of Kalk Bay
Breakfast was delicious and you had several locations to eat from
Our room was connected to a lovely court yard
Location great to visit Cape of good Hope boulders beach Nordhoek It was a bit pricey but it was definitely worth it
- Hanno (10/5): Will definetly be back!! - Beautiful views, beautiful rooms and very friendly staff. Nothing
- Kate (8/5): Great. Would stay again - Location and style and decor were excellent The room was not very private. I couldn’t have the curtains open without privacy from other guests and then it was dark. Privacy curtains would be a great idea
- Evelien (10/5): Aanrader voor sfeervol overnachten in Kalkbay! Zeer vriendelijk personeel!⁰ - Heel vriendelijk personeel!!
Hele ruime kamer. Heerlijk ontbijt.
Zeer sfeervol en mooi ingericht. Prachtig pand!
Goede ligging dichtbij restaurants, op loopafstand.
Ook leuk om langs de zee naar Muizenberg te lopen.
- Rainer (9/5): - Gute Lage in sehr süßer Kleinstadt. Riesiges Zimmer. Gutes Frühstück.
- Rowan (10/5): -
- lieke (5/5): -
- Mandie (10/5): Incredible! - The staff members were incredible. The friendliest, most welcoming and accommodating hostesses I have ever met. They are just amazing. We LOVED the hot tub, the room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the location was stunning!
- Sina (7/5): -
- Olivia (8/5): Loved our stay - quirky, roomy and great view - Quirkiness, individuality, friendly and helpful staff, great location. WiFi and therefore also tv didn’t work.
- hutcheson (7/5): Fantastic Staff and great hotel, next to a busy road. - Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, especially Sandelie and Faith. All staff introduced themselves by name on first meeting which was a nice touch. The breakfasts were very good. The hotel was well located for visiting the many shops, bars, restaurants and tidal pools. For us the room was too hot and we would’ve preferred air-conditioning. As our room was at the front of the hotel we were disturbed by the road and train noise which also made sitting on the beautiful balcony less relaxing.
- Righardt (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay at. Amazing location, beautiful decoration, good breakfast, very friendly staff, nice wood fire hot tub. Highly recommended!
- Ana (10/5): Relax simple luxury - Incredible helpful and friendly staff, specially Faith. She was absolutely professional and she helped us with everything.
Super nice breakfast. Delicate decoration and best location

- Gaironeesa (10/5): Amazing place🥰 - Loved everything about the place, from check in to check out the breakfast was amazing the jacuzzi OMG😍 The room needs a Fan its too hot😊
- Amanda (9/5): The staff were excellent . We enjoyed our stay - Beautiful setting It was hot. No fan or air conditioner. The fridge door sticks on the carpet it is difficult to open. The door was difficult to lock. The breakfast took a long time. No juice was offered.

- Jody (9/5): -
- Hans (8/5): -
- Ariane (9/5): Topverblijf, zou het iedereen aanraden! - Heel goede sfeer en fijne plek. Verzorgd en schoon en heel aardig personeel Wc was niet helemaal goed. Lekte beetje
- Gavin (10/5): -
- Mandy (10/5): 10/10 for all aspects of our stay - This boutique guest house exceeded our expectations at all levels from the pre-arrival communication, the welcome drink, the spacious modern sea-facing room to the uber-comfortable bed, upmarket linen and friendly staff. Really a great choice for Kalk Bay. We had a tasty breakfast and the restaurants were within walking distance. The Google directions from Booking.com take you off course and get you lost up little narrow streets. We recommend you get a pin drop from the host, Faith.
- Jennifer (10/5): Fabulous! - Friendly and welcoming staff.
Fantastic location.
Delicious breakfast Nothing
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- Lynne (8/5): Peaceful comfortable & worth a return trip. - Location was great. The staff are wonderful. Rooms very comfortable. Shower didn’t drain well. Could do with an aircon in the room as it was hot & stuffy in the room we were in.
- Sarah (8/5): A little Kalk Bay Gem - Such a prime location with amazing staff. Beautifully set up with a delicious breakfast.
- Claus (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswert! -
- Nata (10/5): 1night was too short, so would like to go for longer next time! Loved every minute of it. - We recieved whatsapp messages from our hostess, Faith the day of our arrival to confirm times etc. she was so friendly and welcoming ! The room we stayed in was so beautiful! The breakfast was delicious too!
- Cornelius (9/5): Perfect short breakaway - Felt right at home from the moment we booked in. Lesley welcomed us and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Loved the sea view from the upper stoep and the hot tub was awesome. Easy access to the tidal pool and Kalk bay restaurants are bonus. Breakfast is the best. The rooms are furnished with high quality furnishings which contributes to the pampering and restful atmosphere. All-in-all a good rest.
- Tanya (9/5): Seaside paradise. - The location.
The decor.
The breakfast.
Relaxed atmosphere.
Faith and Lesley, the service was excellent throughout. They were very accommodating and helpful.
The bath. The WiFi was down and we couldn't watch TV or connect to WiFi.
Our room type needed air-con. There was a fan but the room gets hot.
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Corné (10/5): - Wonderful staff, amazing setting, loved the room, enjoyed breakfast.
- Neil (10/5): Awesome. Super friendly staff, awesome view and very comfortable rooms. - The only issue I had was the parking. There was no off street parking which I think we should have been forewarned about.
- Linda (10/5): The rooms and comunal areas are beautifully decorated. Staff very helpful and provided excellent seevice i was ver impr - The room and bathroom was stunning. I loved the istle The old charm, location and style
- Vernon (9/5): Great stay in a great place - The location was perfectly central and everything was perfectly organised. Faith (my hostess) was very attentive to my needs and everything was arranged as i asked for. A very good stay!
- Rayne-Mari (10/5): - The location, Faith and the rest of the team, the room and the whole experience! I was taken care of from the moment I arrived and Faith was wonderful! It is a beautiful spot for a small family or solo traveler and is close to the main spots in Kalk Bay. I did not want to leave and will definitely be back. The breakfast was delicious!
- Melanie (8/5): Nice place to stay in Kalk Bay - lovely staff, close to the shops and restaurants in Kalk Bay, nicely decorated rooms, parking was possible on the side street directly next to the hotel (we assume that this might be an issue during high season due to limited parking options) the accommodation is located directly next to the main street which leads to a higher noise level during rush hour (esp. morning hours)
- donna (10/5): Decadent - This is a beautifully styled and located property and Faith was a wonderful hostess who made sure we were really comfortable. I would highly recommend this luxury property. Breakfast is top class to boot. Nil
- Christina (9/5): Very cosy place with lovely staff, nice interior design and great breakfast. - Very beautiful accommodation with lovely staff, amazing breakfast, super cool hot tub and overall great value for money. Nothing (maybe the main street, but has obv nothing to do with the accommodation which was amazing)
- Anita (9/5): Thank you for a restful retreat in Kalk Bay - I had a wonderful stay at Stoep, and felt really well taken care of by all the team there, who were attentive, responsive and really helpful.
- Natasha (7/5): Central location for a night stay - Great location, walking distance to cafes, restaurants & shops. Staff were very professional & welcoming. Good breakfast. Wifi wasn’t working the entire duration of our stay which wasn’t ideal we needed internet access & it meant the smart tv wasn’t working either. No door to bathroom so not much privacy when using loo or showering. Little detailed bath salt bowls had been used by previous guest but not refilled.
- Alwyn (9/5): -
- Robbertse (10/5): Loved it - The staff was very friendly. The hot tub was amazing, and the view from the stoep was breathtaking. I also have to mention that the breakfasts are very yummy and there is something for everyone. Most importantly, we really appreciate that they accommodated our 2 lil doggies. We felt very welcomed and relaxed. Will come again!
- Willem (9/5): -
- Ekaterina (9/5): Если вы любите стиль, вам сюда - Стильный ремонт, много света, интересное интерьерное решение, вежливый персонал, красивая веранда В номере было всего две розетки, тк две другие не работали. Нет розеток в ванной. Шум из коридора, тк половицы деревянные и скрипят.
- Micaela (9/5): -
- LOURENS (10/5): We had a wonderful stay and will visit Stoep again. - Our hostess , Ruth was very friendly and made us feel at home. The room and bathroom was very spacious. The breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was very special. Softer bed linnen will be nice.
- Mosoval (10/5): -
