    Little privacy as another room with glassdoor is just beside. The deck around the pool is very small for four persons. Not much to sit on outside for coffee.

    The bed was very comfortabe, the best on our 5 weeks trip! Practical kitchen, good bathroom. Plenty of mountain water for drinking. We always found parking nearby on the street. We could borrow umbrellas. We were not affected by load shedding.

    Nothing. It was the perfect start to our SA trip and we can't wait to return

    Everything about the guest house was terrific - Jean was amazing from the outset and we were sad to say goodbye. The guesthouse is modern, clean, comfortable, incredibly well located. You can't go wrong with a stay here

    All was waonderful!

    At the conclusion of our three-week journey in South Africa, we chose to stay here. In fact, we also started our trip with a stay here, and we were delighted to have booked it for the finale of our road trip. Jean, the host, is truly wonderful, welcoming us as if we were old friends. The space is tastefully decorated, and the view from the front window is breathtaking. The location is ideal, situated near the top of the roads in Kalk Bay. While it involves a few steps, the delectable food in Kalk Bay made the ascent more than worthwhile.

    Jean was so incredibly welcoming and gave us so many great tips about Kalk Bay. The room as absolutely beautiful, so comfortable, and way bigger than I expected. The bed was super comfortable and the fan kept it nice and cool during the warm summer nights.

    I was naturally reluctant to book this guesthouse as it had no reviews on booking.com due to being so new to the market, so I decided to phone to find out if I could take a look first. Jean answered the phone and said she would put the kettle on for when I arrived. I already had a good feeling about this. What I wasn’t expecting was the brand new, gargantuan and beautifully appointed room/suite that awaited, with a comfortable bed and all the self catering facilities you might need. There was also a spectacular and enormous Dragon tree outside the bedroom window which was a joy to wake up to! It was a snip at £75 a night, and I felt very lucky that there was availability for the nights that I needed. What a gem, and by far the best guesthouse I’ve ever stayed in - I could’ve happily moved in! Jean was super friendly and the perfect hostess, and could not have done more to make me feel welcome and comfortable. She was available on WhatsApp for any questions, and responded very quickly. If I was forced to make a negative comment it would be for there to be a socket close to a mirror so I could dry my hair, however after mentioning this to Jean, she soon rectified it. That is next level service right there! I cannot recommend Dragon tree guesthouse highly enough. Thank you again Jean x
