I really loved this place. The property is tasteful, beautiful and has a good vibe. The area is less touristy than the camps bay or waterfront locations but only 5-10 min away from amazing restaurants, beaches etc. The owners are really lovely people and make you feel right at home. I highly recommend it and I look forward to going... More

The hotel is located just underneath table mountain and from the upper terrace has a nice, yet limited, view over the city. The area itself is very secure and in Cape Towns 'posher' area with 24h security. The hotel itself is very beautiful, always clean and very trendy, great interior. Feels indeed like a home away from home. Due to... More

My husband and I (on holiday from Cesenatico, Italy) visited South Africa for 3 weeks in October and stayed for 4 nights at Alta Bay in Cape Town. What we loved most about this charming guest house was the fact that it is in close proximity to the beaches, the Waterfront and inner-city, but feels as if it is in... More

My wife and I recently completed a trip of several weeks to South Africa, which included seven nights at the Alta Bay in Cape Town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it to be of very good value. We had initially struggled to find a location that would be willing to accommodate our young son as well, but the... More

Firstly, I have to say that Stephan and his wife Beulah were charming hosts, who made it clear they were always available if we needed anything. As other reviewers have stated, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, in a lovely garden setting, close to Table Mountain.....BUT...some things have changed. Our arrival at Alta Bay caused some surprise. Although we had... More

We had planned a simple overnight here while touring through South Africa, but slept so well and felt so comfortably tucked away, that we stayed 3 days. Alta Bay turned out to be one of those fantastic surprises you are sometimes lucky to find when traveling... tastefully decorated, incredible views, lush gardens, big breakfasts. A surprise 2nd honeymoon for us!... More

We stayed at Alta Bay this April for four wonderful nights. Our travel agent had us booked at the Marriott hotel on the waterfront, which is not our style far too touristy. I searched on the web for this guest house which made our stay personal, relaxing and much more interesting. We could have stayed a month. The rooms were... More

Paul and I were in real need of a relaxing holiday after working so hard at home. We couldn't have chosen a better place to unwind, relax and enjoy the hotel, the scenery, the people and each other in such beautiful decor. Not only is the guest house luxurious, calm with great tranquility but the staff was so helpful, smiling... More
