Nothing

Booked for my parents. Their feedback: "Had the most amazing stay at Fernwood. Our reception on arrival by Nathan was warm and friendly. We stayed in the executive suite with the mountain view. It was quiet & peaceful & everything was so clean, and we felt we could use a hotel bath tub for the first time because of how clean it was. Clean linen, excellent room. Very friendly staff, an excellent breakfast and all round excellent stay. It exceeded expectations. We'll definitely come back".

Couldn't fault anything.

Wonderful guest house, stayed in the main villa, bedroom was huge, bathroom fantastic and a very large patio/balcony outside the French windows. So much cupboard and drawer space too. Breakfast was superb. Very attentive staff only too happy to make our stay memorable. Location was convenient, near the Botanical gardens and close to Constantia Mall. About 15 mins taxi from the Watefront area. We got there really early and no issue allowing us an early check in. Top notch and highly recommended. There is a pool too but we didn't have time to try it.

The bath in our room STANK of bleach, it just couldn’t be used. The other members of staff we came across weren’t so nice and friendly.

The location of the house is nice. The welcome we got from Nathan was very nice and he showed us around the house. The breakfast was splendid, lots of selection.

The staff the cleanliness and the comfort and of course the lovely breakfast every morning. The swimming pool is great and loungers a very comfortable . Also it's so quiet.

Our host and all the staff were brilliant. Everyone seem to enjoy working at Fernwood Manor.I have no hesitation in recommending the guest house .

There is nothing to dislike about this place. We felt at home immediately, the staff were all very professional, friendly and helpful. It would have been the icing on the cake to have been able to have the odd simple evening meal but there were lots of restaurants nearby to choose from

A very safe location, a leafy suburb of Cape Town and a little oasis to spend a few hours at or come back to each day. We had 5 days here but should have stayed longer to enjoy everything Fernwood had to offer.

This is the perfect retreat, quiet, beautiful and very clean. We spent 5 days here and did not want leave. Personnel is super friendly and quiet, the salt water pool refreshing and exquisit, not too cold. The garden is gorgeous and beautiful. Fabulous breakfast. We will come back and strong recommend this very unique paradise! If you love to hike, the Constantia Neck is only 10 minutes away.

Everything was just right.

We had a lovely stay at Fernwood. The guest house is big and spacious with great facilities. Our room was very comfortable, the staff were very helpful and the location is perfect if you want to be close to nature but not too far from the city center. We would definitely stay again.

Sunbeds very low to the ground so too difficult to get on and off

Superb breakfast. Very convenient location

Super friendly staff and landlady. Car-Hiring was organised within one hour. Available Parking Space. Although we arrived in the morning, hours before regular check-in-time after a very long flight, our room was magically prepared and ready within a short time, while we were offered coffee and snacks. Compared to other accommodations in Capetown which might be more upscale and expensive, Fernwood Manor beats them all!

Not sure it is the best place for a base for exploring Cape Town is a tourist. But a lovely little hotel all the same.

Fernwood was a great overnight hotel, it is within walking distance to the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens. Loved the home like feel of the shared spaces. Our room had a view up the back of Table Mountain.

Some things felt a little dated, but I guess the nature of an old restored home leads to that. No complaints though. Missed out on the hot breakfast as I had to leave early, but the cold breakfast was ample and the croissants fresh & warm.

Leafy location, decent parking, helpful staff, comfy bed, nice pool. Decent sized rooms. I arrived early and they were helpful and put my bags in the room while I went off to a lunch. Nice place.

Bathroom a bit old and tired and on the small side for this calibre of accommodation, but not a deal breaker.

Beautiful surroundings in a tranquil spot. Emmanuela is the star staff member by far. We were warmly welcomed by her, she has a sparkling personality. Quality of the breakfast was great.
