In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • The staff are the highlight of the stay — Guest reviews repeatedly praise the hospitality of host Doreen and her family, describing a warm welcome, helpful tips, and a friendly, organised team.
  • Cottages with kitchenettes and garden views — The one-bedroom and premier cottages come with a garden view, and guests note the convenience of having a kitchen and fridge in the room.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast isn't served in the rooms — In-room breakfast is available only on request, and guests should plan for the dining room or local cafes if they want a morning meal.
  • Load shedding is a factor — One guest mentioned occasional load shedding, and while the property lights pathways and provides flashlights, it's something to be aware of for power-sensitive plans.
  • The pool is on the small side — The saltwater pool is noted as small by guests, better for a quick dip than serious swimming.

Host Doreen and her family are wonderfully friendly, and the staff are organised and helpful. The cottages are lovely, with everything you need including a kitchenette. Location is perfect – a trendy area with plenty of bars and restaurants, and jaw-dropping views of Table Mountain. Our stay was mind-blowing; we can't wait to come back.”

“I stayed in a lovely studio in the heart of Cape Town. Lots of natural light and stunning views of Table Mountain. The garden was beautifully kept, with fresh herbs, flowers, and friendly cats. Host Doreen was incredibly welcoming, greeting us with local snacks and wine late at night. Even with load shedding, they lit the pathways and provided flashlights. A homely, delightful experience.”
