From flat-topped Table Mountain down to the blue waters of Table Bay, Cape Town is simply stunning, but the city doesn't thrive by its looks alone. Proudly multicultural, its flourishing arts, dining, and nightlife scenes are proof of this modern metropolis' creativity and innovative spirit.

We have recently renovated and refurbished a lovely old Manor house into a eight bedroom guesthouse with lovely views and a peaceful and spacious environment. All our bedrooms are en-suite; we have eight bedrooms in the main house and four bedrooms in the cottage. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and the kitchenette in the cottage. We have a large outdoor pool and pool loungers for guests to use. There are plenty of areas where guests can relax and enjoy their stay!
This was my second time staying at Boutique and it was once again a super pleasant stay, Trish and the staff looked after myself and my colleague as if we were part of their family. It is home away from home.

Vetho Villa is situated in the trendy suburb of Camps Bay on the Western Cape Coastline. It is set against the breathe-taking backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountain range and the blue seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Vetho Villa is a stone's throw away from the trendy restaurants and exclusive nightclubs of Camps Bay as well as the palm-tree promenade along the beachfront. A mere 7 minutes from the main attractions of the "Mother City," including Robben Island, Table Mountain, renowned V & A Waterfront, and Clifton Beaches. The establishment consists of 5 spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms, all boasting unsurpassed sea and mountain views.
We stayed for 4 nights and had lots of time to explore Capetown. It's a stunning little area to stay in and we felt safe at all times. The room was spacious and the balcony provided wonderful views of Lions Head and the mountains. The best bit; you can park safely in front of the hotel in an enclosed area and walk to the beach in 3 minutes. A supermarket is nearby too. The staff was helpful and friendly. We'd definitely stay again if we get the chance!

Nestled in a wine estate dating from 1702, the luxurious Meerendal Boutique Hotel is just 25 minutes’ drive from the V&A Waterfront. It is surrounded by vineyards and has a restaurant and free Wi-Fi. Featuring views over the surrounding greenery, all the rooms at the Meerendal are decorated with stylish furniture and wooden floors. They all include a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Some rooms are equipped with an espresso machine, and some have a tea-and-coffee making facilities. Guests can enjoy the wine tasting sessions offered by the estate. The staff can help them to organize activities such as mountain biking. The Meerendal is in the Cape Winelands, 30 minutes’ drive from Cape Town International Airport. The nearest beaches are 20 km away. We speak your language!
Sadly the experience at the Meerendal Hotel was very disappointing. On arrival, there was ZERO service and hospitality. Not even a welcome. Just a key hand over with no explanation of where your room is, breakfast, etc. After coming back to the hotel after a wedding, the security guard completely ignored us and wouldn’t open up for us - he could see we were struggling with the remote and wouldn’t assist at all. He was rude and unhelpful. This was unacceptable. We thought the gate would open with our remote but apparently it’s a panic button. Something we didn’t know and the staff never communicated on arrival!!! Breakfast was included but you couldn’t spend over R110. So essentially if you are ordering a breakfast, coffee and juice, you are going to have to pay in. For what you pay, this was a waste. I won’t not recommend this hotel.

We stayed at Ridgemor Villa when relocating to Somerset West, Our accommodation was not ready so we had to book one night additional. Arriving on 25th December (afternoon), we were hungry after 4 hours drive. Most shops and restaurants were closed (also at the Villa). The manager offered to look around and drove to pick up pizzas for us and the kids. Purely service minded to help their client. We were almost the only guests that night and it felt that we had the whole place to ourselves. The room was big 2 separate bedrooms and big bathroom. The standard was OK but felt a little bit tired. Being a hotelier myself, (devil is in the details). Overall clean room, comfy beds and towels. But the AC did not work, some lamps was not working either. old furnitures. The whole room felt "tired" and not been taken care of. On a non-busy period it is an easy routine to do a pre-arrival check on the room(s).We slept very well though.Next day, we had breakfast. We could basically orded any hot food we liked. (Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages etc). Coffee, the and juices. With one staff in the kitchen it takes slightly longer to prepare. Luckily we were the only guests in the breakfast area during that time.All in all we are happy with our stay, the manager and team were super friendly and it felt very nice that we could have all social areas etc to ourselves.

Blue Views is ideally suited to those looking for an alternative to a 5 star hotel, but requiring the comfort, convenience and privacy of a luxury, fully equipped home or apartment in Cape Town's most fashionable and desirable area. All of our properties have access to a swimming pool and are located no further than 100 metres from either the secluded Bakoven beaches or the vibrant Camps Bay beachfront, with its world famous beach, restaurants and night life. Properties on offer cater for all tastes and requirements, and range from convenient one-bedroom apartments to spacious seven-bedroom villas, all equally luxurious yet distinctly different in terms of style.
Deciding to stay at Blue Views’s Villa was the best decision we could have made whilst staying in Cape Town. A charming property with spacious bedrooms and a fabulous living room made it such a fun yet homely house to stay in- plus being a stones throw away from the beach made it beyond perfect. Getting in and out of Cape Town via car or taxi was so quick and with Camp bay only a short walk away made getting around so easy. Would highly suggest to anyone.

Excellent is the only word that can describe our stay at Gourikwa. The proteas were abundant and in full bloom. We really enjoyed the peacefulness and views. We suggest a change in the parking area in front of the villas (Kooigoed) . Rather move the parking lots to the top like those of Noem-Noem.

We have 5 self catering apartments with breathtaking sea views of False Bay. Perfect for whale watching, we are a 5 minute walk from the beach, and close to shopping, restaurants, tourist attractions and more.
Had a lovely stay with my parents. Accommodation was clean, fresh & amazing views. Ivan, the host, is amazing and always available for requests, suggestions and the two ladies who service the apartments are friendly and eager to help. Was a very nice stay and will definitely be back. Only drawback is the parking - it is quite limited and if you have a big car it's a bit of a squeeze. But this was the only challenge and was manageable. The host, location and views more than made up for it!

Stylish modern rooms with big comfy beds, soft linen and power showers right in the heart of Gardens, Cape Town City Bowl. With trendy Park Road and Kloof Street so close you can walk to most of the popular restaurants, bars, shops and attractions. The Parkhouse is a designer guest house, offering a 4star designer environment at a great price.
The hotel is situated in Gardens where there are a lot of nice restaurants. Although it is close to a bigger street it is really quite. Our room was really clean as well as the common area was. There is free water, coffee and biscuits. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with everything we wanted to know and always assisted us with recommendations. We will definitely come back!

Guest house offering luxury & convenience in one of cape town's finest locations
We stayed for 2 nights and found our suite very comfortable. It's spacious and well equipped, with a nice little kitchen. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. The breakfast was good. The gardens need some attention
