My husband and I traveled all over South Africa for our honeymoon and this hotel was, by far, our favorite stay (better than the Fairmont and other 5 star hotels!). Besides the delicious breakfast and afternoon treats, the hospitality was far more than expected. My husband was sick one our days in Cape Town and the hotel ordered take-in food... more

Our family of 5 just returned from South Africa during which time we spent 7 nights at Derwent House. We had rooms 8 and 9. Room 8 (for 2) is very small, but room 9 (for up to 3) is more like an apartment. This hotel is about a $4-5 USD cab ride to the waterfront, but it is also... more

Without wishing to repeat all of the previous excellent reviews, Derwent House fully deserves it's number 1 ranking. Carol and Jo are both extremely helpful, and their staff are all superb. Do make the most of their recommendations, we tried some excellent restaurants we would never have known about (or been able to find!) otherwise. Definitely the best hotel I... more

Beautifully decorated hotel. Very good breakfast made to order. Homey living room. Good service. We had a few issues traveling with kids and having multiple rooms. My mom, aged 77, could not stay in the room originally provided (#2) since it had a bath and one would have to shower squatting in the tub. Second, as we had to stay... more

We stayed at Derwent in April and were really impressed. We have done lots of traveling but this hotel would have to be our favourite. The breakfast was amazing as were the extra touches like lovely cakes, port & sherry. It was like a home away from home. The staff were very friendly and professional. We could not have been... more

It would be hard to say any more than has already been said here, but this was without the doubt the best place I've ever stayed. Small enough to be quiet, personal and friendly, and yet with every amenity you could wish for. Tea and cake to come home to, a well-stocked honesty bar, the weather forecast for the next... more

We loved the four nights we spent at the Derwent House! We found the rooms were very attractively decorated, the breakfasts were delicious, and the staff was exceptional. The owners were away on a rare vacation, and the manager, Noluvuyo, was extremely helpful with suggestions for dining, arranging transportation, sites to visit, and even removing a stain from my new... more

We stayed at Derwent House for 3 nights in May 09 and were just blown away by this lovely place. The hotel combines all [put big 5star hotel name here] amenities with a lovely, personal athmosphere. The breakfast is superb, the service outstanding, the rooms tastefully decorated and absolutely state-of-the-art (4 remotes, anyone? :-) Everything at this hotel just screams... more
