My wife and I (mid 50s) just spent 4 nights here in May 2013. Although the weather could have been better, the guest house shined. Fiona, the owner, is exceptional: charming, very friendly, no request is too great, very helpful in planning activities, and determined to please. Her staff is first rate and is equally adept. The breakfast is very... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay in May 2013. We were welcomed by Coleen and shown to our room which had a great view of Table Mountain. The room was stylishly furnished with a good sized bathroom (bath and shower cubicle), toiletries, bath robes and luxury towels. Complimentary port and a jar of delicious home made cookies were a lovely... More

The room itself was really well-thought out with lovely, considered touches such as the welcome card, fresh milk (non... More

Our first trip to South Africa began with three nights at this delightful hotel in Cape Town. Staff were extremely helpful, suggesting and making restaurant bookings for our evening meal and advising on places to visit and helping with driving directions. When we experienced a 'hiccup' with our car rental they were on the phone immediately to sort things out... More

Our room was at the back of the hotel, which is really two separate houses that back on to each other, and the original front garden was our private garden with table & chairs and a lounger. The atmosphere for visitors is wonderful from start to finish - there are so may touches like the home made biscuits in the... More

Welgelegen was an excellent choice for our recent trip to Cape Town. My wife and I stayed here for three nights recently and we have nothing but good things to say about the B&B. From check in to check out everyone was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. Some comments: the front of house staff made us feel welcome, breakfast buffet... More
