    Great location in a lovely, quiet, safe neighbourhood, with cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. Also convenient for a great Spar shop where you can shop for salads and meat for a rooftop braai. The villa is nicely furnished and the bed was extremely comfortable,. Host Burger was very friendly and contacted us just after we arrived to check everything was ok. A very enjoyable stay.

    Lovely and well appointed establishment. Excellent location to city centre and surrounding attractions, while close to airport in terms of driving time. Corinne was an outstanding host and gave us the full run down of the accommodation and facilities and took us on a tour of the house and garden making us well acquainted with everything. House is large and spacious with plenty of space for privacy and decor very tasteful and elegant. Well maintained property. Quiet neighbourhood. Definitely will return when next in Cape Town.

    Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.

    In a great location close to Camps Bay, overlooked by the Twelve Apostles with a beautiful view of the ocean. The apartment was beautiful and very homely with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kelly was so welcoming, a great host and very obliging. We didn't meet Adam but he kindly sent through a comprehensive list of things to do in the Cape Town area via WhatsApp.
