Guest Reviews
A very nice address, very comfortable with a very warm welcome. This guesthouse is very close to amenities (restaurant/supermarket) and very well located for visiting Cape Town. We loved it.
What a wonderful stay, were here 10 years ago once and just as then all praise, we have enjoyed again. Cute ‘cottage’, everything well cared for, huge and good bathroom, sitting outside on the sidewalk and eating. Safe parking and centrally located.
This is the second time we have stayed in this beautiful structure. Emmy is an exceptional, kind and caring host. The neighborhood is safe and full of restaurants. Safe parking. The apartment is equipped with all the comforts. Our favourite place in Cape Town
Large, almost palatial apartment in the heart of Gardens district of Cape Town, close to Table Mountain, nice cafes and restaurants as well as bus routes.
