I highly recommend Ami Vine House for a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring every aspect of our visit was perfect. The room was comfortable and offered a cozy retreat after a day out. The location couldn't be better, situated in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and market. It was the perfect spot for both relaxation and exploration. I had a wonderful experience and am already looking forward to my next visit. Ami Vine House is truly a gem!

  • Bayflowers Guest House

    Guest House in Three Anchor Bay, Cape Town
    Avg. price/night: £86.97
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.3
    Superb - What previous guests thought, 368 reviews
    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 Guest House

    Guest House in Green Point, Cape Town
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7
    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 276 reviews
    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.
