I felt like I’m staying with wealthy friends who live on a spectacular ocean-view hill, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but who also have professional staff ensuring warm yet perfect hospitality. Delicious full-service breakfast overlooking Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Large rooms with shared terraces. Access to a play room in the evening. Secure parking. Friendly and kind staff. Location about 15 minute drive from downtown.

The view was breathtaking. Opening the curtains in the morning to the view of the ocean and mountains was worth getting out of bed every day, and having South African wine on the balcony at night was a peaceful treat. The room was well appointed and spacious, and the staff was very attentive and helpful.

My wife and I stayed for 5 night in the garden suite in August 2024. It is without doubt one of my favourite rooms I’ve ever stayed in of any hotel anywhere in the world. It is so peaceful and spacious and beautiful with incredible views. The whole guesthouse is so clean and beautiful with lovely outdoor spaces and truly brilliant service. Supreme and everyone we encountered were truly first class! We completely fell in love with Cape Town and with ocean view! I will be returning and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a comfortable and relaxing stay in a brilliant area of a great city.
