Boasting panoramic views of Kalk Bay's harbour and False Bay, this attractive guest house is spread over 3 buildings and welcomes guests looking to experience genuine South African hospitality not far from vibrant Cape Town.

The location was great; I was upgraded which was a real bonus and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and wonderful to have light during the powercuts.

    Beautiful property with a stunning view across the bay. Breakfast is a choice off the menu with extras like fruit and muffins on the side - all delicious. The hosts, Amanda and Walter, added a real personal touch to the stay and were fantastic. Excellent location - just a 5 minute walk down the hill into the centre of town and up high for the view. Room was very clean and cosy. Lovely boutique hotel feel. Highly recommend.

    This is an exceptional place! The hosts, Tino and Celeste, went out of their way to make us feel right at home. There’s a lot of love and attention to detail here, from the comfy beds, the tasteful, funky interior design to the complementary bottle of wine. Stayed in a lot of places already, but this one is definitely on our top list! Thanks so much for the wonderful stay.

    This is a really special place to stay. The view of the beautiful bay is just stunning, you could just sit there and look at it all day long. Views of penguins right from your window, too! This is a great place to stay if you want to explore Cape Point Nature Reserve, plus the little towns along the way. We also did a whale watching tour and saw many humpbacks. There's also a lovely friendly orange cat that kept us company, which for us is a highlight as we were missing our cat from home :)

    if you are looking for an extra ordinary experience, that's the right guest house. We stayed in the captain's cabin and enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly, thanks Amanda for the warm welcome. We loved the design and you can feel and see the love in every detail. The indoor heated pool area is super fancy and the breakfast is also tasty and high quality. Amazing view over the harbour and only a 7min walk to town, 20min walk to boulders beach. We would love to come back anytime.
