    Willy was a great host from the minute we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble during our stay. Great location & good restaurants & coffee shops near by.

    Everything was absolutely faultless. Hospitality of the highest standard, cannot recommend this place highly enough. Our host, Willy, is without the most helpful, fun and genuinely, the nicest host I’ve ever had in guesthouse; and I’ve traveled a lot.

    Location excellent in De Waterkant, walking distance to many restaurants, coffee shops and shops. Easy to find, checkin quick with a very friendly, informative host. Safe parking available. Room is comfortable for a short stay. Breakfast was good. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend it. Coffee machine and fridge in room. Lovely shower.

    Everything! Willy and Sam were so friendly and helpful! The view of table mountain from the terrace was beautiful, great to enjoy a glass of wine after a day of sightseeing. The area felt very safe and Willy gave lots of advice on where to go/where to avoid etc. Breakfast was plentiful and Willy even provided us a take away breakfast when we had early starts. I can’t wait to return in November!

    The room was well appointed and comfortable facing the harbour. The location is excellent with many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The V&A waterfront is a 10 minute walk away. The rooftop is a wonderful space to have a glass of wine and looks up onto table mountain. The plunge pool is also quite quaint.

    Loved everything! There was a tiny shower leak but nothing that can't be fixed easily.

    Willy was welcoming and so helpful. The location is great - perfect for walking down to the busier parts of the city! The room was a little bit small but lovely, we didn't need anything bigger. Room was very clean!

    The legs of the bed hung loose in the middle 15cm above the ground so you almost sink through the bed. The airconditioning was not working.

    We absolutely loved the appartement, very spacious, amazing decoration. The outside space is very private and cozy. The cape finest from the facility man to other staff are always amazing. It was our second time staying worh Cape Finest. We will be back.

    Cape Finest Guest House is a total gem and everyone there always strives to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. Willi made sure to give us the best recommendation for restaurants, day trips, places to go, what to avoid. The rooms were comfortable and we loved the chill-out area on the roof terrace. Breakfast was yummy and additional options were readily available.

    The staff were some of the friendliest kindest people I’ve met, they made such an effort to make us feel comfortable all the time, it really felt like a family energy. You can access the pool and upper deck any hour of the day and night so it doesn’t feel like a strict hotel they really created a guest house feeling. You dont often see the other guests so that also makes it feel private. The rooms are clean and nice and there’s a cleaning service everyday

    For starters, location, location, location. Perfect location, rooftop terrace with an honesty bar, little pool and awesome view. There was safe offroad parking while you are in the middle of the the city and they served an excellent and varied breakfast. Very flexible in keeping our luggage while we were exploring the city. But, most importantly of all, Willy was a gem. He gave us a warm welcome and was very patient with our many questions, answering them all and handing out great tips about the do's and don'ts, the places to go and see....

    We are so overwhelmed! It is like a jewel within the city jungle. Thank you to the great hosts and the whole team! You made our stay very enjoyable! The breakfast was very delicious and always freshly made. Beyond the great hospitality we experienced the best thing is the roof top with a fantastic view... ;-) We will definitely consider staying there whenever we come back to Capetown
