My wife and I recently stayed 4 nights at Kensington. It was one of our best stays ever. The property is set in a quiet residential neighborhood but within walking distance of most of the city. Amazing views of Table Mountain and Lions Head. Reserve room #1 for two patios with excellent views and a nice fireplace. The entire place... More

We were lucky enough to stay at Kensington Place as part of our Honeymoon back in 2009 and it remains, to this day, the measuring rod by which all other hotels should be measured. Indeed, it hasn't yet been bettered. The rooms, public spaces, staff, food, location etc etc were sheer perfection- we can't speak highly enough of this place-... More

Simply a superb place to stay! Fashionable and clean/unuttered decor, a pool and lounge chairs, all set in a green garden nestled under table mountain. Breakfasts are generous and Blessings is a lovely hostess who will even offer up the recipe to the home-made muesli! Michael is another warm and friendly host who arranges anything and everything you need. The... More

Great location set in the foothills of Table Mountain and at the top of Kloof street. Fabulous breakfast was served on our terrace which was available to order ALL DAY (which made a significant contribution to making the whole experience very relaxing without having to rush up to make it to breakfast each day). Service from Michael, Marlene and Sasha... More

Its everything you could dream a small boutique hotel could be. Staff & service - fantastic and friendly. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Loved the food, even though... More

My partner and I came to S.A. to celebrate a good friend's 50th birthday. Having saved up some money, we decided to treat ourselves this trip. We enjoyed our stay in general - wonderful breakfast, attentive staffs and spacious rooms. The only missing detail is the electrical outlets in the bathrooms. They went extra miles to have the dual (110... More

Which room did you stay in? We cant test every plug every day and this is the first complaint of this nature. Had we been... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in February 2012 and loved it. The place itself is modern and stylish and can genuinely be described as boutique when most places cannot. It exudes peace and calm and is a true oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the City below Set in a residential area in the... More

My boyfriend and I spent nearly three weeks at this beautiful boutique hotel. We would quite happily have stayed for three years. Sasha (who is the best person I have ever met in this industry) and her team are superb. The property, rooms and location are amazing and the hotel nestles right underneath Table Mountain which greets you every morning... More
