    The guest house is conveniently located within walking distance of the V&A Waterfront, which offers a wide range of attractions and activities. It is also in close proximity to Green Point Park, providing a peaceful escape from the city. the rooms are elegantly decorated and well-equipped, with a lush garden adding to the ambiance. the hosts are friendly and informative, providing helpful tips on local attractions and dining options. the daily breakfast offers a delicious variety, including freshly-baked bread rolls and South African condiments.

    Some areas of the guest house may appear cluttered, which might not be to everyone's taste.

    Fabulous base for a city break in Cape Town! If you want to eat nearby, try Cushty Deli, which is situated 500 ft away.

    We had a great time at this place, just a 10-minute walk to Signal Hill, and we recommend it, especially for a weekend getaway, only 25 minutes by car from the airport.

    This hotel had some nice amenities such as a garden and a bar. The location was great, near some interesting sites and only a short walk to the waterfront. The bed was also quite comfortable and helped me relax during my Christmas vacation.

    The hotel lacked cleanliness. The rooms were not well-maintained and had a lot of clutter.

    Barry and Mina were welcoming, helpful hosts. Excellent continental breakfasts. Quirky, comfortable rooms with good facilities. Quiet location, easily accessible.

    Nothing that I didn't like.

    Friendly, helpful hosts provide good city tips. Delicious breakfast with fresh bread. Peaceful rooms offer good sleep. Bar/games-room is a fun way to meet people. Cozy garden adds charm. Highly recommended.

    The breakfast was delicious and there was a good variety. The location was great, everything was walking distance and there were plenty of options for cafes, restaurants, and a nice park nearby. The staff was friendly and attentive.

    The room was a bit small and the bed could have been more comfortable.

    Spent Xmas at a guest house that offered excellent service and hospitality. the hosts provided useful information about nearby attractions and dining options that helped me to make the most of my stay. the location was perfect as it was close to key tourist spots, yet quiet enough to ensure a peaceful rest. the breakfast served every morning was delicious and had a good variety of options to choose from. Cleanliness and comfort were also top-notch.

    The room was a bit small and lacked some natural light, which was a bit disappointing. Although the staff did their best to ensure the stay was enjoyable, there were no additional amenities like a pool or gym.
