    Lovely and well appointed establishment. Excellent location to city centre and surrounding attractions, while close to airport in terms of driving time. Corinne was an outstanding host and gave us the full run down of the accommodation and facilities and took us on a tour of the house and garden making us well acquainted with everything. House is large and spacious with plenty of space for privacy and decor very tasteful and elegant. Well maintained property. Quiet neighbourhood. Definitely will return when next in Cape Town.

    Small and charming guesthouse, right in the middle of Seapoint. Situated between Ocean Drive and Main Road, but no traffic noise at all. The only noise you hear, comes from the birds in the garden. Some great restaurants within walking distance. Charming and welcoming European hosts, always happy to help. Tasty breakfast with a good coffee selection. You'll definitely see me back next year when I come back with my family!

    Excellent place to stay. The rooms are a good size, clean and stylish. Breakfast is a highlight with great coffee, eggs, and freshly baked bread. Also, it is a great opportunity to speak to fellow travellers. Yoann is a great host and always available to help. The location is fantastic, you can walk to the city centre in minutes and many of the museums and historical sites. Bo Kaap is on your doorstep, and the museum there is definitely worth visiting.

    Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.
