Fantastic, quiet location. Very comfortable and clean place. The host family - very nice, interesting and helpful people.

Rafal Poland

My standard room in the bottom garden has a very jungle like feel. I could even hear the owls and the different birds in the trees. No sea or city views from my room as green was all around. Yet, I was within walking distance to restaurants. From the pool area, I had views of Devils Peak which is great. Uber is easily accessible from this guest house and anywhere else in the city. It’s convenient that they have a guest bathroom available to have a shower before late flights. To summarize, my stay was comfortable from start to finish.

Henny South Africa

Alta Bay is a gorgeous little gem. Steffen and Beulah are wonderfully warm and helpful and it's nice that it's a little off the beaten track. The gardens give the impression of a tropical hideaway.

Ein wunderschön gelegenes kleines Hotel am Fuße des Tafelberges mit einzigartiger Aussicht auf Kapstadt. Sollte Booking. com Ihnen mitteilen, dass Sie gerade das letzte Zimmer gebucht haben rufen Sie einfach an. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall hier zu übernachten und mit den freundlichen Besitzern zu plaudern. Einfach Spitze!

Christina Germany

Beulah, the hostess ensured that everything was faultless. She could not be more helpful and gave me great recommendations for restaurants and not to be missed sight-seeing. The location is uphill, so either wear your best walking shoes or plan to take uber everywhere. Uber is easy and cheap. The room was great, comfortable and all facilities worked fine. They don't serve breakfast but their kitchenette was enough. There was cereals and milk on arrival
