Riversong Guest House
Staying at Riversong Guest House was an absolute delight! The entire place was immaculately clean and well-maintained—every corner, from the bathroom to the bed linens, felt fresh and hygienic. I especially appreciated how spotless everything was, which made the whole experience feel more relaxing and comfortable. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and within easy reach of public transit, making it simple to explore Cape Town’s vibrant neighborhoods. Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere, and great value for money. I’d highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting Cape Town. It’s definitely a place I’ll come back to.
Wild Olive Guest House
Staying at Wild Olive Guest House was a truly enjoyable experience. The property is beautifully designed in a modern Cape Dutch style, blending colonial charm with contemporary touches. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the ground-floor common areas have a stylish, nostalgic vibe that pays homage to South Africa's colonial past. I appreciated the convenience of drinks available in the fridge for purchase—perfect for a quick refreshment. The pricing was fair considering the quality and location. However, it was disappointing that supplies weren’t restocked when the owners were away. Breakfast was decent overall, though the Eggs Benedict could’ve been better—more flavorful and properly cooked. One major downside was the constant staff turnover, which made it hard to build rapport with any consistent point of contact. It felt like every time I needed help, I had to start from scratch. Despite this, the ambiance, location, and overall comfort make this a great choice for travelers seeking a unique and authentic stay in Cape Town. Would definitely recommend for those looking for character and charm.
