First impressions were excellent. Good quiet location within easy reach of Cape Town. However, air conditioning did not work (as it was Saturday no progress until Monday). Superior room was clean but did not expect to have to ask for soap to be refilled. This does not mean that it is not a good place to base yourself. In other... More

One of my favourite places to stay, I visit SA once a year and ALWAYS stay at this delightful guesthouse. Beautiful location looking over Cape Town with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Lovely saloon where you can serve yourself from the honesty bar, and watch the sunset. The rooms are incredibly generous and comfortable beds. Very highly recommended.

Cape Riviera is a brillant place to stay next time you visit Cape Town. Located in peaceful surroundings and close to main attractions such as cable car (Table Mountain), Clifton Beach, nice restaurants. The rooms are well equipped and spacious, and the staff is extremely helpful and serviceminded.

I have stayed at many BnB's before. This one has returned to my memory often. Twice I have stayed here and twice Owen the owner has been there to welcome me / us. This speaks volumes about detail awareness and Owen does just that! Rooms are spacious and stunning. Breakfast is more than sufficient. Venue is close to city centre... More

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a security guard that walked us to our room, explaining that a manager would contact us in the morning. The next morning... More

Dear Madam Firstly the way you were ignored was completely wrong and unacceptable. I as the owner take full responsibility and I apologise for this. I would like to inform you that my manager has tended her resignation as she admitted her performance was no longer good enough for Cape Riviera thus exciting times as we welcome a new manager...

We according to you did this twice. I find this fascinatiing in the least. I have conducted an investigatiovn into the matter... More

This is a very beautiful guesthouse with amazing rooms,a great breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. We stayed for two nights in winter and we found the room cold but honestly this could have been our incompetence with the heater. So ask if you are cold and I'm sure they will help. We had two concerns - one more major than... More

We arrived at the Cape Riviera after dark and were absolutely wowed by the view from our room. An entire wall of glass looked out over the city. Just spectacular. The room was very large and well-appointed. Bathroom up-to-date with a great shower head. Two minor problems with the room. First, in front of the TV instead of a small... More
