My family and I have been there on a number of occasions the last time over the Easter period. For us the guesthouse is situated very nicely for e.g. close to the Waterfront and also other beautiful spots in the city. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable. The breakfast has a lovely choice of continental and full hearty breakfast. And... More

V friendly staff and great location. Breakfast was basic with no finesse.. Ie poached eggs are done in an egg poacher not hand dolloped into a swirling pool of vinegary water. Am I a ponce? Possibly but it felt a bit of a function rather than a service. Room 6 felt like it had been put together rather than a... More

The 1st night I noticed that the bed didnt smell clean, the following day I discovered that a sheet had been put over a urine stained mattress... More

Stayed 3 nights at Brenwin Guest House and was impressed by everything. We had an amazing room over looking the pool, so big, bright and impressive. The breakfast was a perfect way to start the day and the Brenwin is in great location, easy walk to V&A, restaurants, pubs etc. The walking path to the city is also not too... More

Great guest house, simple rooms, but the place is quiet and its family owned which makes you feel a bit at home! Recommed for a budget holliday.

I stayed here for a week, three nights with a friend and four nights on my own. From the moment I arrived they made me feel very welcome, going above and beyond what I would expect from a guest house. The house itself was ideally situated, great pool, amazing breakfasts and had period charm. I was a bit nervous about... More

So I am on a tight budget and decided to stay at Brenwin based on the value relative to Trip Advisor reviews. SO GLAD I DID! I am arriving in a few days yet and they have already gone above and beyond the call of duty. First they offered to arrange my transport to and from the airport. Check. As... More

We stayed at Brenwin for 4 nights before anda after a trip along the garden route. Everything was great, the rooms, the beds, the breakfast. The location is perfect, 10 minutes walk to the waterfront (really ten). Small pool, but enough to relax and make the pause in very hot day. I trully recomend the place. Rooms inside the house...

The guest house is cute, comfortable and well organized. We spent two days in Cape Town before leaving for the Garden Route and we easily reached Waterfront walking. Wireless connection is available and free and the personnel is so kind on providing information about the local attractions. Last, but not less important, the parking is all the time available on...

I stayed here in October 2010 and went back again sometime after that. Great B&B, excellent location. Very reasonable rates. Room was very spacious, good quality bedding. Breakfast was superb. The service and helpfulness of the staff is something that makes me use this B&B for work purposes. The only thing I can fault is the parking, which is a... More
