Comfortable and friendly accommodation
Happy with our stay. Close to the family we were visiting. Vegan had to ask for non-dairy milk but the next day it was provided.

6/10 Good

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.

Définitivement un oui
Nous avons adoré notre séjour en famille dans cet établissement. Le petit déjeuner était vraiment très bien. Si vous avez une voiture et voulez être entre Cap Town et les vignobles et pas trop loin de l'aéroport c'est vraiment parfait. Plus ou moins 30 minutes selon traffic du centre ville de Cap Town. Wifi vraiment mauvais dans les chambres mais bien dans le salon commun. Un service avec attention et la volonté de vouloir répondre aux besoins des clients si une problématique se présente. Très propre et confortable. Tout près vous trouverez des épicecires, station service et un mall est à moins de 10 minutes si vous avez besoin. Nous étions en hiver et les lits chauffants étaient vraiment appréciés. Ils ont une belle piscine mais à cause de la saison nous n'avons pas pu l'utiliser. Service de burandrie sur place à un prix très raisonnable.

Super Zufriden
Wir waren 14 tage dort und waren mehr als zufrieden. Die Freundlichkeit des Teams und das tolle Ambiente ließen keine Wünsche offen. Verstehen dementsprechend auch nicht die Kritiken hier. ich fahr dort in den Urlaub und muss nicht ständig im WLAN hängen, außerdem ist das Internet im Haus vollkommen ok, nur außerhalb funktioniert es nicht immer. Wir würden sofort wieder das Hotel buchen.

abgewohntes Gästehaus
Wenn wir das Zimmer nicht schon im voraus gezahlt hätten, wären wir wieder abgereist - was einige Gäste trotz Bezahlunng umsetzten. Das Zimmer war eine Dunkelkammer-Terasse vor dem Zimmer nicht nutzbar-schauten auf eine Mauer- ungenügend Licht auch im Badezimmer. Schminken und Einsetzen von Kontaktlinsen/Rasieren aufgrund von Dunkelheit trotz "Licht" an der Decke nicht möglich. Alte Duschkabine - war nicht schliessbar. Eingangstür zum Zimmer geklemmt. Möbel mit Verletzungsgefahr (war ein Familienzimmer - zu scharfkantigen Tisch!). Kleiderschrank war für einFamilienzimmer ein Witz. Frühstück teilweise keine frischen Brötchen, obwohl Spar nebenan. Sehr einseitig. Jeden Tag selbe Wurst/Käse/Obst und Joghurt, obwohl genügend Auswahl zu kaufen wäre. Unfefinierbare Geräusche in der Nacht - ist auch anderen deutschen Gästen aufgefallen. Besitzer war teilweise anwesend- hat es nicht für nötig befunden - Gäste zu begrüßen bzw. über die Zufriedenheit zu befragen.Wer gerne in einem abgewohnten Gästehaus Urlaub macht - füllt sich dort gut aufgehoben.

Trevligt hotell med lugnt läge.
Trevligt hotell med avskilt och lugnt läge. Vacker trädgård och fint poolområde, bra rum, god service och bra parkering. Även frukosten var mer än OK. Ett minus att det inte fanns öl eller vin att köpa på hotellet och att det saknades lite färg här och var. Kanske läge att fräscha upp lite? Annars kan jag rekommendera detta för lugnet, läget och priset.

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.

Ottima sistemazione per lavoro
Ho trovato questa guest house nelle proposte Expedia per Cape Town e devo dire che la scelta è stata veramente azzeccata. Situato in una zona molto tranquilla questo B&B offre quiete, pulizia, cortesia e un'ottima colazione sia a buffet che calda e servita in tempi brevissimi. Quando tornerò a Cape Town la sceglierò sicuramente ancora
