Très bon accueil très bon endroit Gros hic hôtel.com vous annonce un prix petit déjeuner inclus et l hôtel vous demande de payer, pour moi il s’agit d une arnaque probablement de hôtels.com je verrai avec le patron demain et je donnerai le résultat pour l’instant je considère avoir été trompé et je vous déconseille cet endroit. Pour le reste tout était excellent et je reviendrai peut-être sur ma décision demain et je vous ferai part du résultat

You won't be disappointed!

Very friendly staff and owner. Set in a very green and quiet area overlooking signal hill and lions head. Still only a short walk to the restaurants and bars of sea point. Overall excellent. Very clean and the pool was well kept. Would strongly recommend! Thank you Maarten

Maarten hat uns super Tipps gegeben und sein persönlicher Einsatz ist hervorragend. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist gut, ruhig und doch fussläufig zu Restaurants (10min) , auch Abends kein Problem, 3 Parkplätze im Grundstück, First come.... Zimmer im EG war ok, Bett bequem, Fön und Safe vorhanden, Dusche mit kraftvollem Wasserstrahl, Frühstück ist gut , bei schlechtem Wetter drinnen , bei gutem Wetter draußen , Pool vorhanden, haben wir nicht genutzt.

Lovely Guesthouse. Maarten was very welcoming and advised us lots of places to eat. He also let us leave our luggage and stay around the pool for the afternoon while we waited to leave for our flight back to the UK. Lovely view from the balcony, which we loved.

Erstbesuch in Cape Town

Maarten, unser Gastgeber, war sehr aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit. Er gab uns viele Tipps für unseren ersten Besuch in Cape Town und sorgte so auch für bleibende Eindrücke. Der Empfang in seinem Haus war überaus freundlich, ja beinahe familiär. Unser Zimmer war das kleinste des Hauses, worauf uns Maarten in Vorfeld mehrfach hinwies, trotzdem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, da es sehr praktisch und neu eingerichtet war. Die Ungebung ist relativ sicher und man kann duraus auch Abends zu Fuß die nahegelegene Gastronomie aufsuchen. Den anschließenden Verdauungsspaziergang gibts Gratis dazu, da Maartens Guesthouse am Hang des Signal Hill liegt :)

Me senti em casa

Já estava me sentindo bem vinda desde antes de chegar à Guesthouse. Maarten e Conchita são extremamente atenciosos, sempre se certificando de que a gente estava bem, emprestando mapas e dando ótimas dicas de passeios! O café da manhã é delicioso e apesar de nosso quarto ficar ao lado da cozinha, não tivemos qualquer problema com isso! dormi muito bem lá! Recomendo!
