Our German familly stayed with four persons in Acorn House for 7 nights in April 2012. We parents arrived 2 days before our children joined us from Maputo (Mozambique). We remember the warm welcome of the whole stuff at the entrance of this wonderful house after our flight from Munich. Stewart showed us our pretty balcony room with a grandios... More

My husband and I stayed in Acorn House for 4 nights at the beginning of our holiday in South Africa in January this year. I don't normally write reviews but Acorn House provided such a perfect start to our holiday I felt compelled to share our views. We arrived at this pretty guesthouse at 7am after limited sleep on our... More

This Bed and Breakfast was really perfect!! We were able to walk to town for dinner one evening, and to the Crafts Fair another time. Beautiful 100 year old home, with lovely furnishings. The staff had wonderful suggestions and advice. We loved it!! More

The only bad thing about our stay was the weather, nothing else could be complained about!! Stewart gave us such a warm welcome and helped us immediately with our itinerary, never experienced that in a place before. And everything in the house is so lovingly decorated, that you feel that all people there are not only doing their job but... More

We just returned from a lovely visit in South Africa. While there we stayed at the Acorn House for 4 nights. Our room (the cottage) was lovely, super clean, and spacious. We had tons of closet room, a private patio complete with table and chairs for outdoor dining, a bedroom and separate sitting room, and a large bathroom filled with... More

We greatly enjoyed our 3 night stay here while we were visiting Cape Town. The hosts were amazing and helped us work out a perfect itinerary for our trip (no need to do so ahead of time!). Pool was nice considering the hot weather, and the views of Table Mountain are phenomenal. We had a rental car which I would... More

... and in every inch, as well: A splendid accommodation at the foot of the Table Mountain. Somehow, the staff managed to make us feel like we had been carefully selected by them, when, of course, it was the other way around. In fact, of the vast number and variety of fantastic impressions from a hectic two-week journey in South... More

I don't normally write reviews on TripAdvisor but really felt I had to here. My partner and I recently spent ten wonderful nights in Cape Town at Acorn House and loved every second. We've travelled extensively and have been fortunate enough to stay in some of the world's finest hotels but Acorn House looked great so we booked it. From... More

I'm fortunate to say, I'm very well travelled and have stayed in some amazing hotels all over the world. However, it was only after recently staying at Acorn House that I realised, I have never really experienced 'excellence' in hospitality. Acorn House is really amazing. Stuart, Adri and Monique, along with the owners, have created somehting very special. The house... More
