Great position for all the restaurants and shops. Breakfast isn't on site but the cafe where you can get breakfast is close by, either by car or a lovely walk. The air-conditioning unit was very noisy and when load shedding took place it stopped working as there is no inverter or solar for backup,when the power goes down. ##### Leone Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M David 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very safe. Enclosed yard parking. Genuine ocean view from Maine Rd to the bay. Easy walk to town. No catering at Guest House, but inclusive vouchers for full breakfast at restaurant in town. Excellent idea, walk for breakfast before other activities. Owner very "hands on" and a real source of good advice. ##### M David Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 19 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location Really convenient for the coastal path and easy access to town. The room was very comfortable and great views. The breakfast was excellent and Monica was a very helpful and informative host. ##### Gary Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deniz 21 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Gastgeberin war sehr nett und das Haus war wirklich sehr schön. Die Lage befindet sich unweit vom Hafen und vom Stadtzentrum. Frühstück gibt es in einem netten kleinen Café, welches zu Fuß schnell erreichbar ist. Die Gastgeberin hat uns auch Restaurant- Empfehlungen gegeben und sogar reserviert. Da wir nur kurz dort waren, hatte Sie uns noch ein Tip gegeben was wir eventuell in der kurzen Zeit noch machen könnten. ##### Deniz Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Guest Haus bietet sehr saubere, modern und komplett eingerichtete Zimmer mit privaten Parkplätzen nahe am Cliff Pass an. Die Gastgeberin ist, wie überall in Südafrika, super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Internetaccess via WLAN ist eher langsam. Nicht ideal ist, dass man für das Frühstück ca.10 Min zu einem Bistro laufen muss und dieses für südafrikanische Verhältnisse eher bescheiden ist. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### A, Frankfurt 31 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Gut gelegene Unterkunft. Parkplätze genügend vorhanden. Das Frühstückskonzept (man muss sich abends zuvor entscheiden, was man essen will / ohne zu wissen wie groß die Portionen sind) sollte geändert werden. Auch die Reihenfolge wird einem durch das servieren vorgegeben. Beispiel: Kaffee oder Müsli kommt zuerst, Milch viel später. Oder man bestellt Käse und bekommt einen ganzen Camembert. ##### A Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [3 On Camps Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-3-On-Camps-Bay.h3808536.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Village.h889520.Hotel-Information) > > [Unit Number 414 Cape Royale Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Unit-Number-414-Cape-Royale-Luxury-Apartments.h21082616.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Silo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Silo-Hotel.h34757476.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawhill Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lawhill-Luxury-Apartments.h4280116.Hotel-Information) > > [Home Suite Hotels Sea Point](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Home-Suites-Sea-Point.h71040853.Hotel-Information) > > [Newkings Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-New-Kings-Hotel.h64623573.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Whale Coast Ocean Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hermanus-Hotels-Whale-Coast-Villa-Adults-Only.h38756914.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [THE RESERVE](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Neighbourgood-Reserve.h93457579.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Waters Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Studios.h51931488.Hotel-Information) > > [308 Juliette on the Waterfront Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-308-Juliette-On-The-Waterfront-Marina.h42355854.Hotel-Information) > > [African Elite Properties V&A Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-African-Elite-Properties-VA-Waterfront.h20185166.Hotel-Information) > > [EIGHTY2 ON M - Fluent Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-EIGHTY2onM-Luxury-Apartments.h107042653.Hotel-Information) > > [Peninsula All-Suite Hotel by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Peninsula-All-Suite-Hotel.h22376.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mount-Nelson.h19437.Hotel-Information) > > [V&A Waterfront Luxury Residences - WHosting](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-VA-Waterfront-Collection-WHosting.h35488839.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden on the Bay Self Catering Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Eden-On-The-Bay-Self-Catering-Accommodation.h16254900.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information) > > [Stella Maris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Stella-Maris.h21774753.Hotel-Information) > > [Whale Coast All Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hermanus-Hotels-Whale-Coast-All-Suite-Hotel.h5608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Cape Town City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pullman-Cape-Town-City-Centre.h17925242.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hyde All-Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Hyde-All-Suite-Hotel.h3887140.Hotel-Information) > > [Moondance Villa & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Moondance-Villa.h39815185.Hotel-Information) > > [Steenberg Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Steenberg-Hotel.h695944.Hotel-Information) > > [Constantia Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Constantia-Cottages.h13309883.Hotel-Information) ---
