    Nothing really to add here!!

    Facilities are lovely, pool area in particular is brilliant. Room was comfy and clean. Staff are friendly, accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was great and the overall stay was great. Would really recommend. Great value for money and excellent location - slightly off the beaten track, but actually nice as you're out of the business of Kloof St, but still within walking distance. Also really easy walking distance for Table Mountain too. Great all round place to stay!

    The transfer to the guesthouse was quite expensive, while it was just a standard (small) car, where we were all jammed on the back seat and one of the suitcases had to be put next to the driver seat as the car was too small for 3 suitcases. The driver was wearing a sleeveless basketball shirt. Arriving at the guesthouse it was not possible to pay the driver by card. After our stay we decided to book a big Uber van to the airport and it was 1/3 of the price as compared to the small car arranged by the guesthouse.... It is not very well noise isolated from other rooms. The wooden floors and the thin walls make you hear the neighbours quite a lot. Also late arrivals or early departures were waking us up as they went through the hallway to the reception. The light in the hallway is on the whole night, and this light enters the room from underneith and the sides of the door. The pool water was very cold.

    Very nice friendly welcome and polite / helpfull staff throughout the whole stay. We appreciated we could enter our room earlier than official checkin time. Beautiful house and gardens. Very good quality breakfast. We wished we could have enjoyed the breakfast even more, but unfortunately we had a very early flight. Spacious room, with good light isolation from the windows / outside. Nice gin tonic made by the staff to enjoy around the pool in the sun.

    My only minor critique would be that the rooms aren’t entirely soundproofed. Noise carries both through the walls and between the floors. Hotel staff start kitchen preparations very early in the morning and the noise and talking does carry, at least on the ground level

    Beautiful property with modern interiors, lush gardens, great pool terrace, amazing location and handy off-street parking. Really good breakfast options. Incredible views!

    We were on our honeymoon and the staff made us feel like we are at home! The level of hospitality in this hotel is by far the best I have seen. The breakfast was just amazing. The location was close by to most of the places that we went too by I guess in all cape town you need a car regardless. The neighborhood was safe and quite and at night

    There wasn't really anything that I didn't like. Maybe that the room door was not completely shutting out the light on the corridor.

    The pool and the whole outside area was exceptional!
