I have travelled quite a lot and never been so impressed by a guesthouse. This place so far exceeds what you would usually expect of a guesthouse I would go back tomorrow. The location is superb with views over the ocean that is only about 100 metres away. The rooms and common areas are very tastefully decorated with lots of... More

What a lovely place! ‎ ‎Travelled as a couple, stayed for 3 nights in April 2012. Didn’t want to leave. ‎ We stayed in room 1 (with sea view) for two nights, and room 2 for one night. Both rooms are very charming, each with its own benefits. It took some time to get used to single duvets, but it... More

To be honest when we saw our bedroom we were a little disappointed. Windows that did not close properly, old furniture etc.For us it was more like a really great hostel. It has that type of vibe. The common areas are nice and the view from the terrace is wonderful. What made it all worthwhile was the excellent breakfast and... More

Our group of 10 peeled off from our Tanzania Safari group and headed to So. Africa for a week. Our research for accomodations centered on the fact that we didn't want to stay in a highrise hotel in the city of Capetown. We discovered the Chartfield website and explored the possibility of staying in the small village of Kalks Bay... More

I've always hated big hotels so I try to find "small" places to stay when I travel. Chartfield is the quintessential home away from home. Warm, helpful people; cozy, well-thought, tasteful design; laid back, friendly atmosphere; stunning ocean view; and sumptuous breakfast. Kalk Bay itself is a quaint, laid back town with great places to eat and chill. It's a... More

We enjoyed our stay at Chartfield the views are excellent and it is in the centre of the town so really handy. It is also a good base for exploring the cape. It has a lot of steps so would not be ideal for those with mobility difficulties. It would benefit from tea and coffee making facilities in the room... More

There are few places as lovely the third time round, few things that live up to the magic of that first experience of them! Chartfield is such a place. A 'regular' in 2010, it was wonderful to go back and find things even more beautiful, more stylish, more heartwarming and even 'greener' than before Thank you Shireen and Florian for... More
