The welcome by Bruce was very nice. The price/quality ratio for the very luxurious rooms ensuite is very good. The housing is marvelous. Anne, Bruce and the staff are very hospitable. Very good breakfast and a nice honesty bar for cool drinks etc. At walking distance from centre of Cape Town. Very nice restaurants near by.

The inn is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The proprietors, Anne and Bruce, were pleasant and very helpful in setting up a tour of the city and of Cape Point. The breakfasts were first class. The location is very convenient to the waterfront and within walking distance to fine restaurants. I look forward to returning some day.

From the start we were welcomed with warmth by Anne and Bruce, made to feel at home, and settled in right away. Our rooms were extremely comfortable, with the balcony looking out towards Signal Hill a particular highlight. Everything worked as it should; we slumbered peacefully at night in our comfortable double bed, washed and brushed in the morning, and... More

Beautiful colonial style building, stylish inside, great breakfast, the suite was gorgeous, and our host was excellent - lot's of advice on where to go and what to see, and even helped us book online for things like the cable car to Table Mountain and the open-top bus tours (as we were advised, cheaper if you do them online).

great value for money. close to everything. spacious, comfortable, safe. nice breakfast and very friendly owners and staff. rooms are quite large with nice porch. although 80% of our time was spent outdoors or touring, the only area that could be improved is the in-room TV offerings. would definitely be a return guest.

A welcoming place with friendly staff, clean and modern rooms, and in a safe area close to the city center. The included breakfast is a tasty mix of fresh fruits, bread, and cooked items such as egg and bacon. The Tamboerskloof area offers a host of different restaurants and coffee shops, and is within walking distance of many different sights.
