Highly recommended! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8432404B60719850E9B76EC891D39E4DF118645D1689500515139.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/639D727203D83FC08455026518A236801BB5A84B1689500512524.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D9D9E72F12B1203F5F2CEB3BAD00EE7782BE05E31689500512630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3B1BD6D8FCB60A83C8D460AD470C2286C309E4D81689500525316.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Larry Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### jonathan Dec 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrific ##### jonathan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Überaus freundlicher Empfang und Betreuung während aller 12 Tage - sichere Umgebung/ Villenviertel - nette und qualitativ gute Restaurants, Einkaufsmall fußläufig erreichbar - gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicolas Jan 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice hotel but cold in winter.

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 Verified ### 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Jan 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It's a great place to stay! ##### Mary Verified ### 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 Verified ### 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Warwick 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 > - [Town Lodge Bellville](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Town-Lodge-Bellville.h485201.Hotel-Information) > - [Penguins View Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-PENGUINS-VIEW-GUESTHOUSE.h48804983.Hotel-Information) > - [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > - [Sherrington Court suite 1](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Sherrington-Court-Suite-1.h25833184.Hotel-Information) > - [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > - [Prince Edward Mansions suite 3](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Prince-Edward-Mansions-Suite-3.h26668455.Hotel-Information) > - [One&Only Cape Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-OneOnly-Cape-Town.h2442736.Hotel-Information) > - [Edward Court 1 Bedroom Sea Facing](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Edward-Court-1-Bedroom-Sea-Facing.h25034980.Hotel-Information) > - [Oudekraal Lodge - Comfortable and Spacious 3-bedroom Holiday](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oudekraal-Lodge-Comfortable-And-Spacious-3-Bedroom-Holiday.h100418462.Hotel-Information) > - [Harpers House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Harpers-House.h14702249.Hotel-Information) > - [Camps Bay Beach Apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Camps-Bay-Beach-Apartment.h24926742.Hotel-Information) > - [Horizon Bay 1201](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Horizon-Bay-1201.h29659268.Hotel-Information) > - [Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Grace-Hotel.h541970.Hotel-Information) > - [The Paragon 317 - Two Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Paragon-317-Two-Bedroom-Apartment.h102385365.Hotel-Information) > - [The Yard - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Yard-Hostel.h42135097.Hotel-Information) > - [Constantia Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Constantia-Cottages.h13309883.Hotel-Information) > - [2 Cottons Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-2-Cottons-Cottage.h31844970.Hotel-Information) > - [Afton Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Afton-Safari-Lodge.h113633206.Hotel-Information) > - [Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Coopmanhuijs-Boutique-Hotel.h3750887.Hotel-Information) > - [Azure 213 On Big Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Azure-213-On-Big-Bay.h28783146.Hotel-Information) > - [Queen Victoria Hotel & Manor House by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h4271934.Hotel-Information) > - [Lumley's Place Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lumleys-Place-BB.h37699148.Hotel-Information) > - [Vetho Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vetho-Villa.h18079509.Hotel-Information) > - [Carmichael House Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Carmichael-House-Boutique-Hotel.h4533246.Hotel-Information) > - [The Den Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Den-Apartments-By-Cape-Summer-Villas.h38084092.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocaso by Totalstay](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocaso-By-Totalstay.h21521657.Hotel-Information) > - [Waterfront Marina Residential](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Marina-Residential.h4015388.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grosvenor Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Grosvenor-Guest-House.h13371813.Hotel-Information) > - [Unit 613 Cape Royale Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-613-Cape-Royale.h42354206.Hotel-Information)
