Loved everything. The actual apartment with amazing beds and a separate lounge to relax. The garden and peaceful setting. The privacy. The area to have drinks. The splash pool. But it was the ambiance of the place which was just so peaceful and allowed one to truly rest and just enjoy. Great apartment with a stoep and outside garden area.

Siegfried Germany

My family Loved loved the place. The location is excellent and near many of the activities we engaged in. Near a convinience store, food joints, bus stop, table mountain etc. And it was very quiet. This place is extremely homely. The facility is very clean and staff very kind. We were taken care of by Tina who was absolutely amazing. By the way,they even offered to buy some groceries for us before arrival which made our stay easy. God bless.

This lovely historic home could not have been more perfect for myself and 2 sisters. We had 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, as well as kitchen, dining area and living room. Bedrooms had heat and A/C. Location was great in quiet residential area in the Gardens near Kloof Street with its restaurants. Breakfast was not included, but there were several restaurants nearby with good food at reasonable prices. Our hostess corresponded extremely well with us, and also made arrangements for our airport transfers. If I am lucky enough to get back to Cape Town, this is where I would stay. This Guest House is so much better than those big box hotels near the noisy wharf, but just a few minutes from V&A, Table Mountain and other City sights.
