Great for the odd night.
Welcome was very friendly. Bed very comfy but found 2 millipedes on the top of the duvet. Loved the electric blanket as the room was a bit chilly. No bottled water in the room but there was a small honesty bar where you could purchase some. Breakfast was sufficient and promptly served.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here as a family in the family room and have been extremely pleased with our stay. The location was excellent, the grounds gated and very pittoresque, a short drive from the airport and in a safe quiet neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants in close driving distance. Rocco was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast had far more choice than we had expected. It was nice to be able to enter our room via it's own entrance and although we stayed in the winter season it was nice to have a little patio area in front of the room with seats and a table. Would definitely recommend this guest house.

unexpected oasis
We were travelling as a family group and so we needed 2 rooms for 5 people. The hotel is in a lovely garden setting and our 2 children loved the pool after a long time travelling. The staff are helpful and the rooms are spacious and well decorated. All in all a very pleasant stay and we will stay there again

Nice guesthouse set off the road
The guesthouse is set down a driveway away from the main road so it was very quiet and relaxing. Breakfast had a good variety on offer. The bathrooms are modern but the character of the original house has been tastefully kept throughout.

Fantastic Place - 5 Stars
We stayed here for 9 nights and had a fantastic time. The location is perfect to explore Cape Town and the whole Western Cape. The local area is extremely safe. The guesthouse is fantastic value for money and Rocco and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The place is well maintained and the pool is great. Would not hesitate in booking a stay here again. If possible, try and book room 10 for a great view of the sea and mountains.

Very tired family room with total lack of privacy.
Only stayed one night of the 3 paid for. Truly not a nice experience. We had the family room which was enormous but that is the end of any positives. Dated dirty stained furniture Skylight without curtain so light flooded in early Curtains on all 4 windows did not cover the windows so no privacy Water ran away so slow in shower had to turn it off every 2 mins to drain Same with sink No air con so very stuffy
