Welgelegen House
6 Stephen Street, Gardens, 8001 Cape Town, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
Welgelegen House is in a lovely part of the city and a beautiful old building. We received a very warm welcome from Memory who made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. She and all the staff were very friendly and helpful for providing recommendations. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed, and the included breakfast was good. They were also accommodating with holding our luggage until our late flight on the day we left. We can highly recommend staying here!
