B&B and self catering guesthouse. We stayed in the self ctering part. Lovely decorated rooms in African design. Entry to a small courtyard with tables and a braai (barbeque). Shared kitchen (for a total of 4 rooms). Lovely experience with a good location near the Waterfront, yet in a quiet culde-sac. Could use a little more attention (shower door was... More

The hostel is at walking distance from the world cup stadium and the waterfront. Very safe and quiet! We had a private room, and it was perfect. The room is clean and nicely furnished, inside you have a tv, hair dryer and coffee/tea maker. The online drawback is the bathroom: the sliding door does not close completely and the privacy... More

If you want to combine quality, location, and price, this is the best place we have found. It isnt far from the Waterfront - walkable if ambitious but a 2 min drive. The stadium is right there, as are a bunch of shops and some places to eat. The road is close to main drives. We have not stayed in... More

We stayed in room 1 for 6 nights in the bed and breakfast side. This room is downstairs with a common wall with the reception area. It was a very quiet and comfortable room with great free wifi reception. It can get stuffy so use the fan at night. If you leave the French doors open during the night you... More

We stayed roughly a week in Cape Town. The B&B is very well-situated close to the Waterfront, Long Street and many other interesting locations. Security in that area is vey good, so if you want to walk a little, that is no problem at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful with booking some tours etc. plus with giving... More

Had a great four night stay here. Great Location. Nice Rooms. Friendly and helpful owner. Bed was comfortable, ensuite bathroom was nice. Exactly what you'd expect and want a small guesthouse in Cape Town to be. I'd come back the next time I am in town.

This accomodation really does give good value for money. We stayed in the house with the shared kitchen and it did the job well for our 3 night experience of Cape Town. Our room (although not ready on arrival) was cleaned each day and we were provided with a travel cot for our toddler. There is a nice patio at... More

I recently stayed for a week at House on the Hill during my visit to Cape Town. It was a great location near the waterfront, and the house is quite historic and has a lot of charm. The bedrooms are very clean and the staff is really accomodating, and the prices are reasonable--- what more could you want? The staff... More
