I have been lucky enough to stay at Purple House three times now. In March 2011 for several days and again twice during March 2012, without doubt it is an absolute gem. Comfortable, spotlessly clean, quiet and one of those truly special places which are not found very often. Added to that is a breakfast that will give you a... More

3 nights in this great house, with small courtyard and amazing view on the roof, where breakfast is served by Guido and Junk. We will not only recommend, we will return (and this really planed now in 7 days, at the end of our trip). The place is close to many restaurants and bars, in one of the best place... More

I stayed at Purple House in Dec 2011 for a night. It was fantastic. It is conveniently located allowing for easy walks to most tourist/business areas of the town. Purple house interiors are comfy, clean and most of all the B&B is very quiet. The breakfast was 5 star class and that made the chief (the cat) a bit jealous.... More

Excellent B&B within 10 minutes walk from the Waterfront. Run by two Dutch men. Spacieus room with a possibility for another guestroom two doors away. Very friendly, Henk & Guido are excellent hosts. Weather permitting the breakfast is served on top of the roof with a good view of the Table Mountain. Very nice shopping mall nearby and if you... More

I stayed at Purple House in March 2011 for several days and, without doubt it is a real treasure. Comfortable, spotless, quiet and truly special. Add to that a breakfast that will give you all the energy you need for Cape Town's sightseeing. The legendary nightlife of Cape Town is within easy and safe walking distance. The host's Henk and...

The Purple House is like a 5 star hotel - but much better because of the personal service and friendly atmosphere. For the last five years I have been travelling a lot, mainly in North and South America, and I suppose on average I have stayed in a hotel two months (60 nights) every year. The Purple House is certainly... More

Was in Jo'burg for business and decided to visit beautiful Cape Town for a few days. Stayed in the Purple House for 5 days and have seen a lot, as the location is ideal for visits to many places, i.e. the Waterfront is a 10 minute's walk. The Cape quarter is an elegant and vivid area with lot's of interesting... More
