Derwent House provided us a wonderful start to our South African adventure. They helped us arrange transport from the airport and greeted us so warmly upon arrival and every day of our stay. This charming boutique guesthouse is located in a quiet neighborhood with close proximity to all the excellent restaurants on Kloof Street. We were delighted and grateful to have the staff book dinner reservations nightly! We easily arranged Uber for many sightseeing trips beyond our walking abilities. Our room was small, but we had privacy and a nice little balcony overlooking the pool and a view of Table Mountain. Amenities were exceptional— breakfast, honor bar, homemade goodies… as was the entire team — unobtrusive, but so warm and helpful. We stayed 5 nights and could have stayed longer!

Staff was amazing catered especially for us for halal breakfast,staff made it an amazing stay thank you.

I loved the breakfasts the rooms Future the front desk attendant who works in the evening always greets you back with a beautiful smile and ask how you evening was :) the night watchman outside is always joyful and we always was silly with him as wed come in at night:) i am celiac and they really really went above and beyond to give me breakfasts i was confident with and were really tasty:) and they went out of their way to find breads that i could also have:)

Everything, the pool, the amazing breakfast, the staff and how helpful they were. All the extras in the room. The value is really spectacular. Close to Kloof street as well and staff will help with any reservations and itineraries.

Breakfast is outstanding and with a fantastic rotating daily special in addition to standard options. Lovely main common guest areas with wonderful style. Finally the staff seems to telepathically anticipate your every need even before you ask. Wine & honor bar.

The apartment was incredibly clean and the staff was very attentive! The location was close to a lot of restaurants, which was convenient. It was a great home base while in Cape Town.

A perfect location with helpful and friendly staff.

We stayed in the adjacent studio. Very comfortable and spacious. Staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and made sure we felt like we were welcome in the hotel’s common spaces. Nice location within walking distance to some great restaurants. Breakfast was excellent, too.

Wonderful gem of a property, great location with attention to detail and a home away from home atmosphere.

Excellent boutique hotel. All the of amenities that you would expect from five star hotel chain, but with the personal touch and attention that is unparalleled. Location is excellent and will definitely return.

We are interested in reserving a room for three nights (March 22-25) and wanted any insights about which might be preferable: the 14A studio apartment or a double room off the pool terrace. We are leaning towards the studio option. Thanks! Tom KelschHi Tom, It really depends on what's important to you in a holiday stay. This messaging option does not permit me to explain in detail (only 250 characters.) Happy to elaborate-boils down to space and independence vs service and "hotel feel."Answered on February 21, 2022
