Atholl House
Staying at Atholl House in Cape Town was hands down the best decision I made for my trip. Nestled on a quiet, dead-end street, this charming house offers an incredibly peaceful and beautiful retreat. The spacious room is thoughtfully decorated with an absolutely stunning view, a wonderfully comfortable bed, and a lovely garden that adds to the homely vibe. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive—feeling right at home from the moment I arrived. Watching the sunset from the generous balcony was truly unforgettable. Everything you’d want—restaurants, beaches, attractions—is just minutes away, and getting around via Uber was super quick and convenient. Communication with Ani Schmidt before arrival was smooth and friendly, setting the tone for a stress-free stay. This place feels like a true sanctuary. A solid 10 out of 10—highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, charm, and authenticity in Cape Town.
CB-One Luxury Stay
I spent two wonderful nights in the stunning Sunlover's Suite at the end of September 2025, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The room is spacious and beautifully designed, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the pristine white sands of Camps Bay Beach—just breathtaking. The suite features high-end furnishings, including a plush king-size bed, a generous walk-in closet, and an elegantly integrated bathroom with a large shower and a freestanding bathtub that adds a touch of luxury. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a stove, microwave, and ample fridge space—perfect for preparing meals during your stay. The hosts, Thobeka from Guest Relations and Elri, the manager, were incredibly welcoming and offered thoughtful recommendations for local dining spots and nearby tours. I also want to thank the housekeeping team—they kept everything spotless and well-maintained throughout my visit. From start to finish, I felt truly at home, pampered, and well taken care of. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a highlight of my trip. I’ll definitely be back.
Carmichael House Boutique Hotel
If a sixth star existed, we’d absolutely give this charming place a six-star rating. The rooms are spacious, bright, and immaculately clean—truly a delight to stay in. Breakfast was an absolute highlight: chef’s special omelettes, hearty oats, fresh fruit, and delicious croissants, all perfect to enjoy in the garden or on the veranda with a morning breeze. Yves and Valérie were incredibly welcoming and always ready to answer our questions—plus their local tips were genuinely helpful. From start to finish, the entire team made us feel at home. Thank you for creating such a memorable stay in Cape Town. We’ll definitely be back.
Radium Hall Guest House
Staying at Radium Hall Guest House during Cape Town’s winter months felt like a rare gift of regeneration. There are places you wish you could stay forever, and this is one of them. The view over the mystical Table Mountain, the glittering city lights, and the vibrant horizon painted with colors at dusk—words can’t do it justice. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, creating a serene, welcoming atmosphere. The hosts go beyond hospitality—they feel like family, offering not just guidance but genuine warmth and connection. And then there are the resident cats: if you're lucky, they’ll come visit you on the terrace. Every morning, you’re greeted by the flight of Hagedas ducks overhead, as you enjoy a crisp rusk on the balcony. It’s hard to leave—because here, everything you need for happiness already exists. But stepping through the gate also opens the door to adventure. Who will you meet on the Frederick Steps today? What story will that person share? How many helmeted guinea fowl will call out from Albert Road as you pass by? And what breakfast awaits at Blue Café on Brownlow Road—perhaps with a view of paragliders dancing above Lion’s Head or the busy kitchen life, accompanied by creaking wooden floors, a cozy playlist, and smiles from the staff? Then, a visit to Caley Chiropractic in Kloof Nek Road for an extra endorphin boost before fully diving into the rhythm of the city, the mountain, and the Atlantic. This whole package—serenity, comfort, discovery—is exactly what I’d recommend, especially in winter (though I’m still warm-hearted enough to say that even when it’s cold!). Thank you, Radium Hall team, and thank you, Cape Town! P.S. Margie, your mum still owes my mum a bottle of wine… 😉 😉 😉
Four Rosmead Boutique Guesthouse
My stay at Four Rosmead Boutique Guesthouse was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful service. The entire atmosphere exuded comfort and care—every detail felt thoughtfully designed. The location is perfect for exploring Cape Town; it's close to public transport, local restaurants, and major attractions without being too far from the city’s buzz. The room was clean, stylish, and quiet—ideal for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. It’s rare to find such a personal touch in a boutique stay, but here, every interaction felt sincere and welcoming. I left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning my return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for charm, comfort, and exceptional hospitality in Cape Town.
Redbourne Hilldrop Guesthouse B&B
Staying at Redbourne Hilldrop Guesthouse was an absolute highlight of our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, Sharon and John made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality, genuine kindness, and helpful advice. They went above and beyond by sharing insider tips on must-visit spots in Cape Town and even assisted with booking some of our favorite restaurants and attractions—truly thoughtful and considerate. The room is spacious, bright, and beautifully appointed, offering a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the city. But the real magic happens at breakfast—sipping coffee while gazing out at panoramic views of Cape Town’s skyline and Table Mountain is an experience I’ll never forget. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a memorable part of your journey. If you’re looking for charm, comfort, and a personal touch, this guesthouse is absolutely perfect.
Derwent House
Staying at Derwent House was an absolute delight from start to finish. The rooms are beautifully designed and thoughtfully decorated—each one feels like a peaceful retreat. The property itself is stunning, with lush gardens and a serene atmosphere that makes you want to stay put. Security is top-notch; there’s always a guard on duty both day and night, which gives peace of mind. The staff went above and beyond—they greeted us warmly, offered personalized tips for exploring the city, and made us feel truly valued. Their attention to detail shines through in everything, from the delicious meals to the little evening treats like cupcakes or homemade cakes. While the pool water is on the cooler side (perfectly refreshing though!), the view of Table Mountain from the grounds is breathtaking. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience. I’d recommend this gem without hesitation.

51 on Camps Bay
We stayed there in March 2022 and finally got around to leaving a positive review. Merryl rents out two cozy apartments in her home, and we booked the sea-view unit — absolutely perfect. The spacious terrace offers breathtaking views of the ocean, especially during sunset. Merryl herself is incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. The location in Camps Bay is fantastic — just a short walk to the heart of the area, with easy access to local restaurants, shops, and beaches. The apartment is well-sized with a king bed, compact kitchen, clean bathroom, and a walk-in closet. Daily housekeeping and laundry service are included, which added great convenience during our week-long stay. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged. We truly enjoyed every moment and are already looking forward to returning — hopefully for a third visit soon!
Star Apartments
The Star Apartments are exceptionally clean and perfectly located—just a short walk from major attractions and public transit. We truly appreciated the privacy and comfort during our stay, and the room layout offered great space and functionality. The only small improvement would be a more comfortable sofa in the living area, as it would make lounging or even sleeping on it much better. Overall, this is a fantastic value for money, with a prime location and excellent service. I’d definitely return and recommend it to fellow travelers.
IGadi House Boutique Hotel
We were two couples from Quebec who stayed for three nights in mid-October 2025 at this charming little gem, iGadi House Boutique Hotel. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a place to sleep—it felt like coming home. Located right in the heart of Cape Town, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring everything the city has to offer, whether by foot or public transit. The breakfasts were simple but delicious—fresh, thoughtful, and perfectly balanced. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the warm hospitality of Cecile, the owner. She greeted us with genuine kindness, endless smiles, and a level of personal attention that you rarely find these days. She didn’t just give us tips on restaurants and attractions—she shared her story as an entrepreneur, offering inspiring insights that sparked meaningful conversations. It felt less like staying at a hotel and more like being welcomed into a local family. Every detail, from the ambiance to her care, reflected passion and authenticity. We left with memories we’ll cherish forever. If every hotel could offer this kind of human touch, travel dreams would be within reach for everyone. Without hesitation, I highly recommend iGadi House—you won’t regret it.
Harfield Guest Villa
This stunning villa is perfectly located in Cape Town—just a short walk from everything we wanted to explore. The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Every room is beautifully designed with thoughtful touches, blending style and comfort seamlessly. It’s clear the attention to detail is top-notch. A truly memorable stay that exceeded all expectations.
