    Facilities/windows are a bit old.

    The location is superb. The neighbourhood is safe and there are a lot of restaurants, pubs nearby. The garden is beautiful. Breakfast is really good too.

    We would have preferred a room on the ground floor as ours was out the back and up a steep set of wooden stairs! A more modern toaster is needed in the dining room and everyone makes their own toast using two very old toasters which weren't really up to the job!

    The breakfast selection was superb - cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts every morning. Followed by a selection of cooked breakfast choices and coffee and tea. The location was lovely and safe: Near enough to the V&A waterfront for all our needs but not too far to take an uber back at night time. Our room was lovely and clean and the beds very comfortable. The gardens were beautifully maintained and the pool area was lovely - if not a little cold! Roger and Heather in reception were really friendly and helpful.

    No one came back to me about parking. My security gate was troublesome to get in and out of. The room was very hot, so I had to sleep with the door open.

    Your security guard was very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable

    A couple of small cockroaches which they took care of quickly. Quirky locks that I kept finding difficult to unlock. Too many keys! A bit farther than I wanted from the V&A waterfront.

    Lovely large room. Great breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff.

    My parents accommodation lacked a view due to overgrown trees which was a shame as this was the best part of it for us in a different lodge.

    They had really thought of everything, clean, tidy, helpful - braai packages were so smart!

    After arriving late at night at Cape Town Airport, our taxi driver took us to the Brenwin Guesthouse. The welcome, despite the late hour, went very smooth. The room is basic, with a nice garden. Breakfast is ok, not really special. Location is excellent! Supermarket is within short walking distance. Waterfront is also within walking distance. For us, the guesthouse was perfect for the first night in Cape Town. Our rental car was delivered at the Brenwin. Very friendly staff. I had a few questions before we arrived, and the reception answered this always quick. Thank you!

    The room was lovely but a little small, it did not have anywhere to sit apart from on the bed. Not really a problem because the communal areas were so nice. A few tiles and the bathroom sink were cracked.

    Excellent location for enjoying the Waterfront. Lovely outdoor space for smoking. Fabulous staff, from the lovely lady who checked us in to the restaurant staff who served breakfast.

    I don't know if anything could have been improved - perhaps a more sturdy door to the bathroom.

    Brenwin Guest House was truly excellent - my brother and I needed a place to stay for one night between trips to other parts of the coast, and the pictures of the swimming pool really won me over. We had a twin bedroom with small kitchen/living room, which was good value for the price. The swimming pool courtyard was lovely and private, and breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. The staff were extremely gracious in letting us stay by the pool the following day until we needed to head to our next destination, and even let us keep some food bits in their office fridge. The guesthouse is also close to some really good restaurant and coffee shop options, and super close to the V&A Waterfront. Would certainly stay here again, and would recommend to others.
