My husband and I had a fabulous time at Henk and Guido's place, if you're in Cape Town this is THE place to stay!! The room was booked well in advance and Henk was great at keeping up to date and replying to my messages very quickly, he even sent me an SMS to let me know when the room... More

We love The Purple House! Convenient location, spotless and comfortable, generous breakfasts and lots of fun. Guido and Henk are perfect hosts.

We will not only recommend, we will return (and this really planed now in 7 days, at the end of our trip). The place is close to many restaurants and bars, in one of the best place... More

I stayed at Purple House in Dec 2011 for a night. It was fantastic. It is conveniently located allowing for easy walks to most tourist/business areas of the town. Purple house interiors are comfy, clean and most of all the B&B is very quiet. The breakfast was 5 star class and that made the chief (the cat) a bit jealous.... More

Excellent B&B within 10 minutes walk from the Waterfront. Run by two Dutch men. Spacieus room with a possibility for another guestroom two doors away. Very friendly, Henk & Guido are excellent hosts. Weather permitting the breakfast is served on top of the roof with a good view of the Table Mountain. Very nice shopping mall nearby and if you... More
