I stayed at the Trevoyan for one week in May 2012. The central location (in the Tamboerskloof neighborhood) is one of the major benefits of staying at this bed-and-breakfast, close to excellent restaurants, and in a safe neighborhood. It distinguishes itself by the Swiss charm of its owners (Christophe and Urs)--both in service as well as in atmosphere. The scenery... More

Urs and Christophe were great! Their guesthouse has been described with many superlatives so we can only endorse what has been written. On the weekend of the Argos bikeride they saved us by finding us accomodation when all looked gloomy and we thought we were on the street! We will be back. Thank you for your hospitality again. Thankyou also... More

Hi Clive Thank you very much for your review. You are probably the only ones that have slept in three different rooms in three nights. So your judgement counts a lot. We are happy that we could assist and that you liked it in Trevoyan. Hope you do not have to many sandstorms over there in Dubai. Wishing you all... More

I have stayed at the Trevoyan on several occasions. It is the most wonderful place one can imagine. It is located in a safe area, Tamboerskloof, close to most major attractions. The owners really make you feel like part of the family and any question you may have will be answered immediately. Any help needed will be available. The rooms... More

Hi Anna Yuhh! what can i say. Did not know that we are in paradise here every day. Sometimes other people have to open your eyes. Need to say that you are most probably right.

After a three-day stay with friends at the end of March, we can highly recommend Trevoyan Guesthouse. The owners, Christoph and Urs, provided a warm welcome, delicious breakfasts (including fresh fruit, yogurt, home-made bread, juices, and eggs), as well as useful information about local restaurants and Cape Town sites. Our rooms were large, modern, and well appointed, and the shaded... More

We stayed at the Trevoyan with friends for 3 nights from 28th March and it was a haven at the end of busy days sightseeing. The location is ideal between table mountain and the harbour and the shaded garden is a tranquil and relaxing feature. The rooms are well appointed, large and most importantly the beds are very comfortable! The... More
