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.
United States of AmericaBreakfast 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.
United States of AmericaThe 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.
United States of AmericaA perfect location with helpful and friendly staff.
United States of AmericaStaff was excellent. Incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure any of our needs were taken care of.
United States of AmericaDerwent House is the most beautiful little place. The facilities and shared spaces were just gorgeous and so comfortable. Amazing location, right in the Centre but on a quiet road so no noise. The staff were so friendly and attentive. I especially loved getting into bed to find a hot water bottle had been keeping it warm. This place is charming and full of lovely little touches which just make for a happy stay. I can’t wait to go back!
United Arab EmiratesStaff are really helpful. Breakfasts cooked freshly to high standard. Free tea and cakes from 4pm. Wine and drinks with honesty system. Overall lots of lovely touches! The only disappointment was the weather! It was unbelievably windy for the whole of our stay.
United KingdomWe stayed at Derwent House for the first 4 nights of our honeymoon. When we arrived Future had decorated our room and given us a bottle of sparkling wine. It was a perfect start to our time at the hotel. The breakfast every morning was delicious and they have a different special everyday. Candice was really helpful with planning our days exploring Cape Town. Even with everything that was going on in the world we managed to have a great stay and if we are ever back in Cape Town, we will definitely be staying here.
United KingdomExcellent service, breakfast, common area and location!

It's warm and intimate, cosy and comfortable, contemporary, but with a unique splash of Afrochic design throughout . . . it's Derwent House. You’re at the centre of the glorious rush that is this magical city – yet nestled in the comfort and serenity of your luxurious base camp in a quiet residential neighbourhood at the foot of Table Mountain, steps away from vibey Kloof Street. Where else could you be but here? We love colour and celebrate African design – you’ll find it everywhere. But when it comes to the basics – like breakfast, bedding, showers, climate control, Wi-fi or news from home – we don’t compromise so you don’t have to. A Cape Town boutique guesthouse experience with a difference – come see for yourself!
