    A very comfortable and pleasant stay.

    The room was a little too small and lacked the space for a comfortable chair to use to read or just relax.

    This is a beautiful small hotel with a nice garden and a cozy atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean.

    Nothing really. Possibly too much chlorine in the plunge pool, but that’s splitting hairs!

    Quirky, comfortable and stylish. This really appeals to us. Roland is an attentive and engaging host who really gets hospitality.

    It would have been perfect if the shutter of window can be managed easily - though it did not affect anything during our stay.

    The host Roland is extremely friendly and helpful also provided a lot of insights and tips for visiting Cape Town. The location of guesthouse is very good -- Safe and easy to access to major spots. Strongly recommend this guesthouse for people who want to discover beautiful Cape Town.

    We stayed at Roland & Alexandra’s place for 5 nights exploring Cape Town and it was absolutely perfect! Ronald is very helpful during your breakfast sessions (which are also very nice) for all kind of tips (surrounding, food, activities and safety) :) Our room was very romantic with the bathtub in an open space in a real African vibe! An absolutely perfect start (for us), or end time of your trip :) Thank you so much!

    Everything was great!!

    The breakfast was wonderful. Such a good selection of breakfast options that were made-to-order and of the highest quality. I have never had more delicious or fluffy scrambled eggs. Every breakfast included a wonderful fresh fruit plate including local in-season fruit of perfect ripeness. Wonderful kiwi, dragon fruit, papaya, mango, etc. Great coffee and capuccino. Delicious orange juice. Gracious and friendly staff. Location could not have been better with a quiet safe neighborhood two blocks from Kloof Neck Road and easy access to Table Mountain, Lion's Head, Signal Hill, Waterfront, Hout Bay and the Peninsula. Easy walk to many fabulous restaurants on Kloof Street.

    The water pressure in the shower was very low and the temperature was difficult to regulate.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The owner and staff are very friendly. The room was tidy and spacious. Same goes for the bathroom. The style of the guesthouse is beautiful with an African touch. The location was excellent; restaurants, shops and Tafelberg + Lion's head were close-by. Breakfast was great with various options. The full experience, topped with complimentary fruits and cookies made it feel like a home.

    I would prefer a door for the shower stall instead of a glass pane that only partially encloses it, to avoid water splashing on the bathroom floor.

    The guesthouse is gorgeous and lovingly appointed, with multiple pleasant and comfortable places to relax - indoors/outdoors, in the sun/in the shade. The breakfast is copious and delicious. The location is in a very quiet area, only a few minutes from a wide variety of restaurants and cafes, and you will enjoy the views of table mountain and lion's peak from many different angles. The best part is the personal attention offered by the host, particularly helpful for first-time visitors to South Africa.
