My wife and I stayed at this great bed and breakfast. The rooms are spacious, the food is great and the gounds are breath taking. We spend the day by the pool with an amazing view of Table Mountain. A big highlight of our visit was Sasha the operations manager, who made extra time to chat with us and really... More

We have been staying at KP for many years and just returned from another wonderful stay. The location - nestling under Table Mountain on the City rather than the Atlantic side - is perfect with many cafes, restaurants and shops within walking distance. You are staying in a real neighbourhood. The property itself is lovely and the staff, all of... More

Kensington Place is so well hidden in the lush hill sides of Higgovale that you almost wouldn't know it was there. The luxury accommodation was surrounded on all sides by lush green plants, and I knew we were onto a winner from the second we walked through the door and met the amazing staff - we were well looked after...

We just returned from a wonderful long weekend in Cape Town staying at Kensington Place. Highlights included: - Great sized rooms and communal spaces with beautiful interior design - Very thoughtful staff who pre-booked tables at restaurants for Friday and Saturday night in case we had not done this ourselves. It was fantastic to arrive and not have to worry... More

What a beautiful tranquil setting!!! The staff is absolutely amazing, looking after your every need. Our room was extremely spacious with a private balcony, perfect for morning coffee delivered to your room on request before breakfast! Breakfast to die for!!!!! We had a hired car but the hotel is so centrally located that you will get around easily by taxi!... More

This hotel is beautifully decorated and the bathroom in our room (the garden room, no 7 I think) was very impressive, with a sunken bath and pebble floor. The staff really looked after us, in particular Marlene who had booked us in to some of the top restaurants prior to our arrival. (We kept some reservations and cancelled some others).... More

Kensington Place is one of those hidden gems of an incredible city. Set up in the lofty heights of the cliffs of Table mountain it is easily accessible and with views to die for. The service is discreet yet attentive and exceptionally polite. The rooms are decorated with care and attention to detail and perfectly formed. It is so hard... More

I spent one night at Kensington Place and was looked after by Sasha and Michael. The cocktails were perfectly put together, the beds extremely comfortable, lovely views and quite quiet for the proximity to Kloof Street. The eggs Benedict and fruit in the morning was delicious! You feel really at home here and I'll definitely be recommending it! More

We arrived exhausted from our 20+ hour trip from NY to be warmly welcomed with champagne by Sasha. Her impeccable attention to detail was so comforting and appreciated. She had even booked us reservations for dinner, helped us with each daily itinerary and more. The food was wonderful (especially the muesli!) Highly, Highly recommend this wonderful boutique hotel. Thank you... More
