“This guesthouse struck me as exceptionally well-run, particularly for those seeking a personalized experience. The individually decorated rooms reflect an eye for detail, and the emphasis on local sourcing-especially the breakfasts-suggests a commitment to both quality and community. I appreciate the location; it's quiet, yet close to excellent restaurants and within walking distance of Cape Town's botanical park.”

Really good stay!
awesome breakfast menu friendly staff coffee machine
I found the breakfast menu so awesome! The staff was eager to assist with luggage and directions. My room included a coffee machine (a total lifesaver for early mornings!). I loved the complimentary robes they had!
The airport shuttle felt a little pricey. Uber was definitely cheaper.
Rooms
10/10
My room came equipped with air conditioning for those warmer days, a very comfy bed, and blackout curtains. The bathroom had both a shower and a separate soaking tub (the tub was sooo relaxing).
Service
10/10
The staff provided quick answers to all my questions and also ensured that I felt welcome. Bartwell deserves a special shout-out for his excellent service. I appreciate that the team happily arranged taxis upon request.
