Guest Reviews
- Franziska (6/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - Lake view and tge beach being closeby, cleanness the entire place, i loved and enjoyed everything Checking out at 10 while still enjoying
- Tristyn (10/5): Amazing Rooms, Amazing Breakfast, and Amazing Staff - We stayed there for 4 nights. After the first night my brother and I were staying there, they asked how the rooms were. We said it was okay, beds were a bit small for my brother who is over 130KGs. While eating breakfast (top tier made to order breakfast) they upgraded our room.
Their staff moved our stuff over, we get a better room, a better view, and a great experience. We then needed an urgent extra night due to flooding and extreme weather conditions on the N2. They didn't try overcharge or take advantage. They even pre-blocked off the room until we made the final decision.
Over and beyond is what makes them a top tier space to stay in. Thank you!
- Sabrina (10/5): - Die Lage zum Strand war super, das herzliche Personal und der gesellige Flaire.
- Jacqui (10/5): - Meg was amazing. Our return flight got cancelled and we got another one, one day earlier. Meg didn't hesitate to amend our original booking and organising a refund for the day we lost. The other staff were also very friendly and helpful. Nothing 😀
- Brian (9/5): -
- Jean (9/5): Un bon endroit pour visiter toutes les choses intéressantes dans la région, le Cap, de Bonne-Espérance, la plage des pin - L’amabilité du personnel et le confort des lits Un petit problème sur l’annonce des prix sur le site Booking. Les surfaces ne correspondaient pas à la réalité.

Close to everything, safe and just a wonderful experience.
Plus a WONDERFUL hearty breakfast- a win in my books.
- Matthew (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay in Muizenberg. Safe location a short walk from the beach and "downtown" shops and dining. Nice size rooms with comfortable beds and pillows. Delicious cooked to order breakfast. Roomy, comfortable common areas, including an outdoor courtyard. Easy access from main road. Friendly proprietor with valuable information about navigating area, advice about safely visiting the beach, and so on. Heartedly recommend.
- Seligmann (10/5): - Sehr
Freundliches und hilfreiches Personal
- Ilia (10/5): - Прекрасный и небольшой отель недалеко от моря. Номера обычные и хорошенькие, чистые. Завтрак в целом неплохой. Больше всего понавилось отношение персонала и их гибкость в решении вопросов моей большой группы (14 человек). Я под очень хорошим впечатлением, обязательно приедем ещё! Такого нет
- Pat (10/5): -
- Judith (9/5): -
- Isaacs (7/5): - No aircon
- Sarah (7/5): Great location but breakfast needs improvement - Great location and views. Friendly staff and lovely outdoor seating area. Breakfast was very basic
- Sybille (8/5): - Haus und Zimmer sehr gut, ruhige trotzdem zentrale Lage, sicherer Pakplatz
- Maria Veronica (8/5): Schön - Personal war super freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Der Frühstück wird in der Moment nach Wunsch vorbereitet. Mein Zimmer war relativ eng und ein bisschen laut weil es lag im Erdgeschoss.
- Vedhna (10/5): - Room was neat and cosy. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.Breakfast was delicious. Nil
- Yeshaya Landau (10/5): -
- Marie (9/5): -
- Klaus (8/5): - herrlicher Ausblick, tolle Garage mit elektrischem Tor morgens sehr laute Straßengeräusche
- Fundisa (8/5): - The location and also how clean place was🙂
- Siphokazi (10/5): - No Nothing
- Patricia (8/5): It was nice stay, a good host with close proximity to the beach - The location was nice, next to the beach but also it appears not a very safe area. However, our host ensured we felt good, had nice food in the morning and a private parking space Overall the area does not offer much and generally I felt like I had watch behind my back sometimes
- Mwezi (10/5): - The house was cosy clean and very comfortable Nothing really
- Cuan (9/5): -
- Caitlynn (8/5): -
- Wilna (8/5): -
- Christina (7/5): -
- Annie (10/5): A relaxing stay - just what I needed - the staff were wonderful and special thanks to Isabel who went beyone to assist
- Lurinda (9/5): Relaxing and quiet - Friendly staff, clean premises with clear instructions regarding keys. I would prefer some anti slip cover in the shower stall.. quite slippery. Staff very accommodating with requests.
- Cojocariu (9/5): Nice choise in Muizenberg - The breakfast is tasty, but always the same. If you stay longer it can be a little bit better. We received our last day’s breakfast to go, which was very nice. The king room definitely worth the money, because they are much bigger, have their own bathroom and a lovely view. The water from the sink is staying longer than it should:)
- Dietmar (9/5): - Das Personal, wie auch die Leitung waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
- Hermine (10/5): Nice bed and breakfast - Nice house from the 1930’. Walking distance from the beach and multicolore hunts and to downtown. People are very nice and welcoming. Confortable and clean bedrooms
- Ray (9/5): Enjoyable stay at The Muize - Friendly, helpful staff and comfortable accommodation
- Emmanuel (8/5): -
- Antonia (8/5): Nice stay in town at the beach - Great Breakfast Old Bathroom
- Lore (8/5): -
- Marcia (10/5): -
- Jenny (9/5): Ideal Location for exploring the Cape area - Breakfast is generally a part buffet and part service. This can change if there are a large number of guests when it becomes fully buffet except for your eggs order. The room and bathroom was spacious and on the ground floor which was very helpful for our mobility needs. There are three car parking spaces for guests. And if necessary there is street parking to the side of the property. The staff are very helpful and directed us to specific shops we needed. Nothing really, a wide range of visitors both SA and overseas.
- bedin (9/5): - Lovely place and lovely staff
- Petra (9/5): - Unkonventionelle, gemütliche Unterkunft mit gutem Frühstück und sehr nettem Personal. Die Zimmer zum Garten sind ruhiger. Outdoor gibt es Sitzgelegenheiten zum Verweilen und das Frühstück kann an einem großen Tisch eingenommen werden. Es gibt zwar keinen Kühlschrank auf den Zimmern, dafür aber einen Großen auch zur eigenen Nutzung im Frühstücksraum. Die Nähe zur Hauptstraße ist nicht ideal, dafür sind es nur 5 Minuten Fußweg bis zum Beach.
- Simona (8/5): -
- Desiree (10/5): - The room was spacious and we had a balcony. Nothing
- Margo (10/5): A wonderful venue - I loved my room with the balcony, and the group table for breakfast. The staff were so friendly, and very helpful. I loved being able to walk to the beach every morning. I always felt safe, secure, and well-looked after. N/A
- Leonor (10/5): Cozy and lovely accommodation - Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcomed ☺️ every morning they would check on us and we were super flexible with our request in staying one extra night last minute. The breakfast included is also a great plus. A very homey place to stay! The internet didn’t always work well, specially at night.
- Lerato (10/5): Homey and clean. - Design, Location, the people. Nothing…
- Peter (9/5): -
- Dean (10/5): Loved our stay! Comfortable and great value for money. - Comfortable rooms. Welcoming staff. Hearty breakfast.

- Frank (5/5): -
- Małgorzata (9/5): - Bardzo miła obsługa
Strzeżony parking
Dobre śniadanie
- ClaudiaHammerstein (8/5): - Wirklich sehr nah zum Strand, allerdings umgeben von großen, teilweise mehrspurigen Autostrassen.
Witzig eingerichtete Zimmer, honesty Bar, nettes Frühstück an einem großen Gemeinschaftstisch. Alle Türen nach aussen gut verschlossen, auch die Autostellplätze durch Hoftore gut gesichert. Wir konnten bereits gegen 12 Uhr mittags ins Zimmer einchecken. Recht laut durch starken Wind mit klapperenden Türen und Autoverkehr.
- Pacio 90 (9/5): -
- Gerhard (10/5): - Gutes Frühstück, sympathische Gastgeber. Gute Lage, Strand ist in 5 Minuten zu erreichen, sichere Umgebeung.
- Sabine (10/5): - Ich hatte einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war groß, sehr sauber und wurde täglich gründlich gereinigt. Nach ein paar Nächten gab es sogar frische Bettwäsche. Das Badezimmer war geräumig, die Handtücher immer frisch und super angenehm.
Das Frühstück war jedes Mal ausgezeichnet. Es gibt eine Auswahl an warmen Speisen wie Eier und Bacon, dazu Toast, verschiedene Aufstriche, frischen Obstsalat, Joghurt sowie Kaffee und Tee.
Besonders praktisch: Alles ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar – der Strand sowie St. James und Kalk Bay sind nur einen Spaziergang am Meer entfernt. (Für Infos rund um Wege und Sicherheit lohnt es sich, kurz beim Team nachzufragen :D ) n/a alles war zu meinem besten empfinden
- Reinhard (10/5): -
- ilhaam (10/5): -
- Andreas (9/5): -
- Franziska (6/5): - Gutes Frühstück, saubere Zimmer, Parken auf dem Gelände, nettes Personal Die Betten waren leider durchgelegen, die Fenster lassen sich nicht komplett schließen - dadurch ist es sehr laut, kein Föhn obwohl beschrieben
- Brigitte (8/5): -
- shadracc (10/5): - When I booked on the app, I requested for a queen bed., I was informed that they only have single beds they put next to each other.
- Robert (9/5): -
- Paul (8/5): -
- Kim (7/5): -
- Keziah (10/5): Short but great stay, clean and great value for money - Great location, staff very welcoming and kind. Allowed us to keep our car there for a few extra hours on the day we checked out. Breakfast was good, and room/bathroom clean. Would recommend. Only thing that would have made it exceptional was international or USB plugs
- Sophie (9/5): -
- Lorato (10/5): - The Beds were sooo comfortable,
I liked the place
Km surely coming back soon. Nothing

- Arianne (8/5): A nice place to rest on Muizenberg facing a beautiful mountain and the sea - L’emplacement
La chambre très jolie
Nice upgrading for our booking and very good from Meg / Adrian Nothing
- Suzanne (9/5): Comfy beauty. - We just loved our stay. Our room upstairs was beautiful, with the most amazing views. Comfy bed, lovely shower.
- Sasse (8/5): - The location. N/A
- hedi (8/5): - I liked the host and attention to detail
- Melanie (8/5): -
- Helin (8/5): - The room was clean with a comfortable bed, and I received a warm and friendly welcome on arrival, with a little tour of the house. I really liked the honesty bar, where you can easily purchase water, soda, beer, wine, and more, it adds a nice touch. The whole place has a cozy, homely feeling, with only a few rooms spread across two floors, so it never feels too crowded.
Breakfast is served in what feels like a comfortable living room, which makes the experience feel even more personal. As a vegetarian who’s also lactose intolerant, I really appreciated how the host and chef took the time to prepare something suitable for me, it made me feel well looked after.
I came here for a calm weekend before a busy work week, and it was exactly what I needed. The area feels very safe, and I could walk to restaurants at night or simply stroll around without any worries.
For fellow vegetarians or vegans, I can recommend nearby spots like Kauai and Tiger’s Milk, which both have good plant-based options. On the downside, the town can feel very quiet at times, almost a little too calm. As a solo traveler, I sometimes found it tricky to find places to meet and engage with new people. The house itself was also quite chilly; when it’s cold outside, it tends to be cold inside too. I visited in August, and I’d definitely recommend bringing some warm socks or cozy layers if you’re traveling around that time of year. This didn't take away the good experience, but I'm just mentioning this as an honest recommendation, but I'm still happy with the experience and place all in all ☺️
- Roland (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bernadette (8/5): Very good -
- Colby (10/5): Great value. - So close to the beach. Not too far west on the island. Golf cart to keep sand and water out of our vehicle. Amazing price. No bunk beds, real bedrooms for our older children, 13 16. They need their own rooms and most bookings try and get you to put kids in bunk beds. I didn't book more nights.
- Joel (10/5): Awesome stay - Very nice and clean great neighborhood. Also liked the golf cart. The only thing was the batteries on the golf cart didn’t hold a charge very long
- Bernadene (10/5): Exceptional - The warm welcoming and friendly staff..Ray was very helpful and made our stay very welcoming...This is a lovely and beautiful place we loved everything including the breakfast
- Donell (10/5): - Homely vibe
- Mushaeed (7/5): Good -
- Minords (8/5): Very good - Nice location breakfast is simple but very tasty. Nothing
