This is a tastefully, thoughtfully designed property which we found so easy on the eyes and senses. Fantastic location, good linen, comfy bed and impeccably clean. Thanks also to Willy who was so kind and welcoming.

I always try to find a nice little property instead of big international chains on every trip I take, and after staying at many hotels of this type, I am 100% sure that Ocean Vibes was my best choice. The location is very close to the beach (about 3 minutes walk) and still very quiet. We would like to thank you for our romantic dinner. We felt like we were at home or at a friend's house. And this is a rather unique experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at Atholl House. The location is lovely, with a great view of Camps Bay beach and its beautiful sunset. Both the room and bathroom were quite spacious and comfortable. The breakfast served was delicious. We couldn't be more satisfied with our selection for the 4-day stay in Cape Town. Additionally, our host, Ani, was exceptionally kind, helpful, and accommodating to our needs.

Exceptional stay for those seeking peace and tranquility This hotel is truly exceptional for anyone looking for calm, serenity, and peace of mind. Despite its secluded location, it feels very safe and secure. The staff are incredibly helpful — especially Mr. Happy and Peter, who both went above and beyond. As someone who travels frequently around the world, I can confidently recommend this place for families who want to escape the noise and enjoy a few days of real relaxation and peace.

Fantastic guest house in a great location which is ideal for exploring the Cape. The hosts Michael and Jeanne are terrific and are extremely helpful with great local guidance. Breakfast was a real treat - most of the food is either local or home made (bread and yoghurt). Jeanne also bakes a 'treat of he day' which is always delicious. Our room (202) was excellent - large bedroom with a terrace facing the sea. The property is in a cul-de-sac and so it is very quiet. Highly Recommended

Loved our stay at the Tintagel Guest house. Big comfortable bedrooms, immaculately clean. Wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful, they happily arranged dinner reservations for us. Lovely breakfast, outside in the courtyard on good days, inside when it became windy. Secure off road parking. Great location, close to Kloof Street, Long Street and an easy drive or inexpensive taxi to all the main city centre attractions and the Table Mountain Cable Car station.

Cheviot Place is a great place in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very charming and you can walk to places like the Waterfront or Green Point Park. There are a large number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. On the other hand, James is a great host and has given us many good tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. In summary, Cheviot Place is a highly recommended place to spend a few quiet days in Cape Town in a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

I stayed at 10 different guest houses during my trip in South Africa and Maartens Guesthouse is definitely my favourite! His warm personality, wicked sense of humour and attention to detail really makes us feel at home. He’s not only a great host but also a very kind friend. Thank you for having us!

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.
