Very thoughtful details. Charles and the rest of the team were very welcoming. There is a nice living room space on the second floor which looks out at table mountain, the backyard, and the pool. I particularly liked working from there. ##### Anne Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Patience Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I highly recommend it.

Located a 5 minute walk from Cavendish Square, Newlands sports ground and across Esme St from Sans Souci Girls High School, it is centrally located while also quiet even in the middle of a bustling work day.

My only issue was with the internet - is is unstable and sometimes it disconnects, you have to wait for a minute then it comes back. Just have in mind that this is a (beautiful) residential area, in the neighborhood (within 10 minutes walk) there is only a few shops, coffee shop, a supermarket, a restaurant, a bar - which I could not enjoy much as I was staying around Christmas & New Year and they were closed most of the days. To reach one of the trails to Table Mountain it takes only 15 minutes walk from the guest house. I would stay here again in the future if they fix the internet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1049-p63d94f30-edbc-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1056-p477bcde0-edbc-11e7-bd65-326511383643-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1904-pfdfc09f0-edbb-11e7-bd65-326511383643-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1994-pd9b14470-edbb-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diogo Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Guest house très accueillante et très bien placée Découverte de Cape Town en rayonnant autour de la Guest house qu'il faisait bon retrouver tous les soirs. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Jan 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It's a great place to stay! ##### Mary ### 8/10 Good #### Ignatius Sep 6, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location for business Good place to stay for business in the area. ##### Ignatius ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Near enough to walk to UCT 3 nice days.

We stayed in the Leopard room. The spacious room had two double beds, a huge couch, plenty of storage, and a good size bathroom with a large bath and seperate shower. It's a beautifully decorated room with patio doors onto the terrace. The Guesthouse, although fully booked during our stay, was extremely peaceful and quiet. There was a good choice of both hot and cold options for breakfast. The omelettes were perfect. I cannot say enough about the staff. Each and everyone we encountered were unbelievably pleasant and good humoured. There is a lovely sense of calm about the place, and yet, the standards are very high. Our room was always pristine when we arrived back from our days activities, and every need is catered for. The location is good for exploring the cape. The city centre is about a 15 minute drive. Camps Bay is 20-25 minutes, and it's an easy drive to the winelands. If you want to leave the car behind in the evenings there is a local taxi which offers an extremely reliable and reasonable service. We took a taxi and dined in both Cape Town centre and Constantia. The Vineyard Hotel in Newlands is a stroll away and houses Myoga Restaurant, which is one of the best eateries we visited during our trip. I cannot recommend this guesthouse enough. It's like home from home. Thank you Inri, Charmaine, Aaron, Adda, and all the team for making our stay so pleasant and memorable. ##### Tara ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa, Houston, TX Dec 2, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Excellent Guest House with Great Customer Service Excellent service! We were greeted by Aaron and felt very well taken care of the entire stay. There are not too many restaurants that are very close to the guest house but if you walk a little bit, there are quite a few options. Free parking as well and very close to the cricket stadium! ##### Melissa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Warwick, Parktown, Johannesburg Nov 30, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Newlands accommodation Very well run B&B ##### Warwick ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [2 bedroom ocean view at Hilton Lagoon Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Ocean-View-At-Hilton-Lagoon-Tower-At-Hilton-Hawaiian-Village.h38287805.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mount-Nelson.h19437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Secrets-Royal-Beach-Punta-Cana-Adults-Only.h3206683.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Oude Werf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oude-Werf-Hotel.h2720474.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Sea Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Sea-Point.h533915.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunsquare Cape Town City Bowl](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-SunSquare-Cape-Town-City-Bowl.h19918386.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178248-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cappadocia](https://www.expedia.ca/Cappadocia-Hotels.d6054888.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [One&Only Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-OneOnly-Cape-Town.h2442736.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront-Breakwater-Lodge.h663635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cape-Town-Foreshore.h4623642.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [Town Inn Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Town-Inn-Suites-Toronto.h8010.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Calgary by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Calgary.h9141.Hotel-Information) > > [The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Onyx-Apartment-Hotel.h28825118.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Presidential Suites by Lifestyle - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Presidential-Suites-By-Lifestyle-All-Inclusive.h16273140.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Lima (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lim/vancouver-to-lima) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mnl/vancouver-to-manila) > > [Flights from Dallas (DFW) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dfw/yul/dallas-to-montreal) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Honolulu.d1488.Car-Rental-Guide)
