This is a top guest house. We stayed nearly a week. Simon, Julian and Albert keep the place extremely clean and it is very stylishly laid out. The beds were extremely confortable. It is located in a nice suburb of Cape Town called 'The Gardens'. You can walk into town in the evenings with numerous top quality resuaurants in close... More

Me and one of my best friends visited Cactus House for several nights during March 2013 and this was an unforgettable experience. Cactus House is super clean, and a comfortable, privately owned gay guest house with service that is beyond amazing. The attention to detail made the stay so special. Julian "the host" kept things orderly and the standards high.... More

This place a just really a fab little jem close to everything and not OTT which is great when you just need to chill out. Will be back soon for... More

I had a great experience at the Cactus House. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more supportive. They really made the extra effort to ensure I had a great time in Capetown, even helping arrange for sightseeing with a driver for my travel friend and me at the very last minute. Add to that some really amazing meals -... More

This was followed... More

Cactus House is a clean, comfortable, privately owned gay guest house with rooms that are just perfect, service that is beyond excellent and attention to... More

Delicious little boutique situated in the cool and convenient little suburb of Oranjezicht. Fab and Very friendly hosts but not OTT. The breakfasts are home cooked and the setting is very relaxing - quick walk to Kloof Street. Just a lovely place.

This should be advertized as a smoking b&b, because I felt the smoke pervaded my experience. The owner and his boyfriend smoke inside the house, which I think is against the law in a hotel, certainly if it is not advertised as a smokers paradise. The breakfast was sometimes excellent, and sometimes not. All this inattention to detail (and disregard... More

Couple of months ago I had luck to find this place through google maps. My expectations were not really high - I was looking just for a cheaper place to stay and needed not more than a bed. And it was one of those times when my expectations weren't fulfilled absolutely. Julian, Simon and Albert were very welcoming and friendly,... More
