We spent 4 nights in Derwent House as part of our honeymoon. I had originally wanted to book another hotel but they did not have availability. So I booked Derwent House and was worried I wouldn't like it as much as the other. Luckily it far exceeded our expectations.

The Derwent was the first place we stayed in South Africa. The lounge area was stylish and comfortable with a decked balcony next to the pool enabling you to have breakfast outside, and gentle African music giving added ambience.

A few months ago I was getting some flak from a workmate about taking advantage of TripAdvisor without contributing myself! Well, our stay at Derwent House has spurred me into action.

We stayed at Derwent House for 7 nights and used it as a base for visiting Cape Town and surrounding areas. We loved every minute and can't wait to return.

I had not been to Cape Town since the early 90s so it was good to see some significant differences. Tania updated me with... more

We stayed 6 nights at Derwent House and could not have been happier. Our room, though smallish, was extremely comfortable. There is a huge lounge/sitting area with free internet access and lots of interesting reading material, so there is no need for a big bedroom. The breakfasts were delicious, and we loved the fact that cake and tea/coffee were available... more

The main downside to this hotel for us was the size of the bedroom. We stayed in room 2 which was very small and cramped with not enough room to leave a suitcase on the floor. The room had a bath tub and shower over which is not even in a tiled area so the whole floor gets soaked. To... more
