    It is very hard to criticise Harper’s House but if I had to say one thing it would be that the pool is small but it definitely does the job!

    Harper’s House is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is exceptional and the staff cannot do enough for you. There are lovely cafes and a supermarket / liquor store nearby and it’s easy to get places using e-hails. It was a sanctuary in a bustling city and we would highly recommend staying here - we hope to be back!

    Beautiful hotel! We had a lovely spacious room downstairs. Gorgeous bathroom, big comfortable king size bed, perfect to rest after a long flight to Cape Town. The breakfast on the terrace was delicious, and was lovely to relax by the pool and read a book. The staff were all super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again when next in Cape Town.

    Harper's House was great for our short stay in Cape Town. It had everything we needed, most importantly, off-street parking. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and the breakfast was superb! Would 100% stay there again.

    Booking went wrong in the beginning, but it was sorted out with great engagement of the receptionist - so that all was great in the end.

    Lovely room, very nice ambient in the entire guest house. Staff was extremely engaged, friendly and helpful. Great breakfast.

    Really close to Green Point, V&A and the Stadium. We were visiting for the sevens so this was super handy. Lovely staff who waited up for me even though I didn't arrive until 1am. Nice facilities and gorgeous decoration. Will return! Must visit Giovanni's deli around the corner, simply lovely.

    Despite booking a large airy room the room allocated was small with little natural light. It was very clean and comfortable as we were only staying 2 nights was fine as we were out and about. We have been offered a special rate should we return however would just have liked the room we chose in advance.

    Beautifully restored period property.

    There was no socket next to the mirror for a hair dryer, and there is no extension available. If you need to style your hair, it is a challenge. The guest house is right next to the liquor store, there might be a bit of a dodgy crowd around.

    Beautiful house, very tastefully decorated, cozy and spacious rooms. Nice quality toiletries, the room is equipped with all 5* essentials. Nice breakfast with good variety of dishes, cozy terrace for dining outdoor. Friendly and helpful staff.

    We stayed at Harpers House for the Cape Town Marathon. The location was perfect, it was very close to the start/finish. It is also easy to get from Harpers House to the city, the Waterfront is within walking distance and all the other shops you need are close by. They also serve a very nice breakfast.
