I had a great time the host was amazing, very helpful, and incredibly attentive. I couldn’t fault the introduction or the way I was looked after during my few days in Cape Town. I’ll be returning in early 2026 for several meetings, and I will definitely be looking to stay here again. Highly recommended.

We had wanted to book a nice hotel with beautiful views for our final night in South Africa - Atholl House was the ideal choice for this. It completely exceeded our expectations from the moment we got to our room and enjoyed the gorgeous view from the balcony, to the moment we (sadly) had to leave. It is a beautiful house with all the amenities that you need for a perfect stay (balcony with gorgeous views, a fridge with snacks, water and welcome drinks, a coffee machine, a bath tub, among others). You can feel the attention of the hosts in every detail of the house/room. It is immaculate. Clean. Beautiful. Comfortable. Quiet at night. The staff was friendly and very helpful at all times, providing useful recommendations about restaurants. We also found the cards with information about the city that you can find in the room to be very thoughtful. Overall, we felt special - Atholl House was the cherry on top to a beautiful and unforgettable trip to South Africa. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic guest house in a great location which is ideal for exploring the Cape. The hosts Michael and Jeanne are terrific and are extremely helpful with great local guidance. Breakfast was a real treat - most of the food is either local or home made (bread and yoghurt). Jeanne also bakes a 'treat of he day' which is always delicious. Our room (202) was excellent - large bedroom with a terrace facing the sea. The property is in a cul-de-sac and so it is very quiet. Highly Recommended

Loved our stay at the Tintagel Guest house. Big comfortable bedrooms, immaculately clean. Wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful, they happily arranged dinner reservations for us. Lovely breakfast, outside in the courtyard on good days, inside when it became windy. Secure off road parking. Great location, close to Kloof Street, Long Street and an easy drive or inexpensive taxi to all the main city centre attractions and the Table Mountain Cable Car station.

Cheviot Place is a great place in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very charming and you can walk to places like the Waterfront or Green Point Park. There are a large number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. On the other hand, James is a great host and has given us many good tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. In summary, Cheviot Place is a highly recommended place to spend a few quiet days in Cape Town in a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

I stayed at 10 different guest houses during my trip in South Africa and Maartens Guesthouse is definitely my favourite! His warm personality, wicked sense of humour and attention to detail really makes us feel at home. He’s not only a great host but also a very kind friend. Thank you for having us!

Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.
