Lovely German couple who own the property were very friendly, helpful, informative, & gave us good recommendations as wall as insights into the culture/history of SA. Cheerful, colourful, whimsical property, each room is different, great breakfast!! Lovely cook and staff! Location in Seapoint was 10 minutes walk to the waterfront promenade, in a mostly residential area, was safe and close to lots of eateries, shops, and specialty coffee. Easy 10 walk to the red hop on hop off bus stop (near Winchester Hotel). Bonus: Every morning at breakfast we could watch the paragliding/parasailing above our house, coming down from Signal hill!

This is a fabulous guest house, the owner Jaques meets you and is really welcoming and informative. All the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is a nice continental buffet style, with plenty of options. There are two pools, we only used the main one, but very clean and a good temperature. Plenty of towels and beds / seating by the pool. They also have a driver, who will shuttle you around for approximately the same cost as an uber, but he's very reliable and that’s important. The rooms are very well equipped, plenty of storage, a safe and comfy beds. There's an honesty bar, which is well stocked for most needs I would think. We will absolutely go back to stay the next time we are in Constantia.

Beautiful room and modern bathroom and amenities. Gated and safe. Friendly staff. It felt like you could ask them for anything at any time no problem. Cozy boutique hotel feels like a small private little quiet community. Wide selection at breakfast and it was delicious.

A very quick stay between arriving on one flight and catching one the next morning. For the value you can't say the single room was too small, so instead the single room was very cosy. Better to upgrade to a double room if you are staying longer. Staff were very friendly and waited with me at the front gate for my uber to arrive.

    Fantastic guest house in a great location which is ideal for exploring the Cape. The hosts Michael and Jeanne are terrific and are extremely helpful with great local guidance. Breakfast was a real treat - most of the food is either local or home made (bread and yoghurt). Jeanne also bakes a 'treat of he day' which is always delicious. Our room (202) was excellent - large bedroom with a terrace facing the sea. The property is in a cul-de-sac and so it is very quiet. Highly Recommended

    Loved our stay at the Tintagel Guest house. Big comfortable bedrooms, immaculately clean. Wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful, they happily arranged dinner reservations for us. Lovely breakfast, outside in the courtyard on good days, inside when it became windy. Secure off road parking. Great location, close to Kloof Street, Long Street and an easy drive or inexpensive taxi to all the main city centre attractions and the Table Mountain Cable Car station.

    Cheviot Place is a great place in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very charming and you can walk to places like the Waterfront or Green Point Park. There are a large number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. On the other hand, James is a great host and has given us many good tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. In summary, Cheviot Place is a highly recommended place to spend a few quiet days in Cape Town in a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

    I stayed at 10 different guest houses during my trip in South Africa and Maartens Guesthouse is definitely my favourite! His warm personality, wicked sense of humour and attention to detail really makes us feel at home. He’s not only a great host but also a very kind friend. Thank you for having us!

    Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.
