Originally we were going to stay for 3 nights, but after experencing such wonderful service, beautiful clean rooms, and a magnificent view of Table Mountain, we stayed 6 nights. The level of genuine service from Sakki, his wife and also the night porter was a real treat. Nothing was too much trouble, dinner reservations were booked for us, and any... more

Me and my two children are checking out of 51 on Kloof Nek Road today, and I must say that I agree with every one else who have posted positive reviews of this wonderful guesthouse. We have stayed here for 6 nights and we have fallen deeply in love with this place. It truly is like a small piece of... more

We just returned from our first trip to Africa. We started in Cape Town and stayed at 51 on Kloofnek. There were five of us - my wife and me, our two sons, and our daughter-in-law. The house was perfect for this type of trip - there are six total bedrooms and we had three. The rooms were done very... more

I can't understand why this guesthouse isn't higher on trip advisor. I stayed in a couple of places in town, and this guesthouse left me with particularly fond memories during my stay. It's a little far up Kloofnek if you're walking in to the centre of town, but that's a minor point and I'm also being a little lazy. In... more

We stayed in 51 on Kloofnek for 4 nights in total, it was with out doubt the nicest guesthouse we every stayed in. It is rated a 4 star guesthouse but we would stay it is of 5 star standard, it was spotlessly clean. The owner Sakkie is an amazing host, he made many phone calls to the Table Mountain... more

Wasn't sure about this place when i booked it but it was lovely. Recently rennovated guest house, rooms are big and stunning. People are really really friendly. I am quite critical but these people have really thought a lot about making their guests stay as good as it can be. Cupcakes in the lounge room, an honesty bar, dvd players... more

ALL of the people we ran into that visited Capetown stayed near the waterfront, so the Guest House was different in that way - quiet, laid-back, friendly; but not really inconvenient unless you want to walk to your club spots at night - and I wouldn't do that even on the waterfront. There are local spots nearby, so you can... more

In a word...sensational! We came to South Africa for our honeymoon and stayed at 51 for our first four nights....although we went on to stay at some amazing places the decor, welcome, and atmosphere of 51 was hard to beat! Watching table mountain from the balcony at sunset, as it changed colour, with a glass of wine in hand was... more

We stayed here in March. Very nice concept with central lounge / communal area surrounded by individual bedrooms. Breakfast is served downstairs in a conservatory area by the small pool, again nicely done with daily changing selection of cold items already at your table. Rooms are comfortable, probably lacking a little bit in storage space for a longer stay and... more
