Boende med familjekänsla
Fantastisk personal som ser till att det finns te och kaffe dagen lång i köket, bakar kaka till eftermiddagsfikat och lagar frukosten på beställning när gästerna kommer ner till matsalen. Gratis parkering innanför stängslet, bil är mer eller mindre ett måste då promenader i området avråds efter skymningen och det ej serveras middag på plats. Rummet var enkelt, rent och snyggt, och städpersonalen otroligt snabb och effektiv! Rekommenderas varmt till dem som vill ha ett charmigt boende med familjär framtoning snarare än det vanliga (tråkiga) hotellet!

Die etwas "historische" Einrichtung wich angenehm vom "Einerlei" eines Standard-Hotels ab. "Brenda", die vor Ort die Dinge besorgte, war kompetent, immer hilfsbereit. Sehr gutes Frühstück, immer gut beraten.

Très bon séjour !!!
Je recommande cet hébergement poour son calme et tranquillité tout en étant près de la ville. Petit déjeuner très bien. Bon accueil. Voiture en sécurité, cadre agréable au pied de Table Mountain d'où nous avons profité d'une vue splendide.ensuite, ascension en randonnée de Lion Head, juste en face. Grand choix de restaurants au Cap.

6/10 Good

In de beschrijving van het Guesthouse was het niet echt op te maken dat de accommodatie in een 'gevaarlijk' deel van de stad ligt. Het was niet aangeraden (door de politie) om daar overdag te wandelen, laat staan de stad in te gaan en te voet terug te keren. De accommodatie is oud en zeer basic. De vriendelijkheid van het personeel maakt veel goed. We kregen het gevoel dat we in een museum verbleven. Ik zou het zeker niet aanraden aan anderen.

tipp topp tommel opp 👍
Veldig koselig opphold med hyggelige verter. De hjalp oss med å komme i kontakt med en veldig flink guide med navnet ashraf. Han var meget serviceinnstilt og hjalp oss å skreddersy ferien vår etter våre ønsker. De ansatte på gjestehuset er veldig trivelige og hjelpsomme. Vi ble alltid møtt med et smil. Beliggenheten er nærme bysentrum, Table mountain og Lions head.

8/10 Very good

I stayed 5 nights here, and the hosts Brenda and Gertrude doted on me so much that I felt guilty! They were totally accommodating. They provide a decent breakfast and a nice afternoon tea. The guest house is close to the city centre of Cape Town, but is just outside it so as to allow it to be quiet. The rooms are spacious and clean. The building is an older facility. The outside of the facility could use “a spit and a polish.” The property is gated and feels safe, though you have to ask the hosts to be let in and out. A good value for the money.

10/10 Exceptional

e were a group of 7 who stayed at this place. We enjoyed the most warm welcome we had with refreshments and tea. The staff is extremely friendly, and helpful. We could ask them anything and they would do whatever possible to help us out. The guesthouse is an over 200year old building giving it a natural charm. Rooms are tidy, beds are comfortable. And for the internet addicts: WIFI works well and it is free of charge. Now breakfast: it is just impossible to leave the breakfast table hungry! Eggs, cereals, toast, jams, yoghurt, juices... It is a B&B, so there is no dinner served in the evening, BUT the staff will help you to order in if you wish (that's what we did). You can use the kitchen materials (plates, silverware,..) to eat in. Make yourself some coffee, tea...A very relaxed atmosphere- giving you a home-like feeling. Granted, you are not downtown CapeTown - but that's only a few kilometers away (15 minutes by car) max. We preferred a quiet location, giving us a good night's sleep. All in all: great value for money!!

Et sjarmerende bed and breakfast
Hyggelig sted, gode senger, god frokost. Kan absolutt anbefales hvis man ønsker å bo i en historisk del av Cape Town. Et sjarmerende sted og hyggelig vertskap.

Good and friendly place to stay! Tasty breakfast!
We stayed at District Six questhouse few days in february. Room was very cozy with a good taste of furnishment. The building itself was old and it has a very interesting history. We liked the atmosphere of the place! The nights in Cape Town can be really windy. You can feel and hear it in the composition of the old building. But it only showed us very atmospheric! The place is safe because of the high fence surrounding the area and the night guard in the place. The host lady was very helpful and friendly. She served us a very tasty and quite versatile breakfast which included in the price. There was tea and biscuits available in the kitchen which we could use freely all the time. The safety box is not in the room. Good place to stay according the price!

Hier fühlt man sich wohl
Obwohl das Haus schon älter ist, hat es einen sehr gepflegten und sauberen Eindruck gemacht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hinzu kommt der kostenlose Parkplatz und die ruhige und trotzdem relativ zentrumsnahe Lage,

Wonderful place and people
The owner is possibly the most hospitable person you could want to meet (she dropped in to visit every morning) and the staff follow in her manner. The location is very accessible to both the highway to downtown Cape Town and the International airport. The rooms are ageing but very comfortable, quiet and clean. We rented a car and parked the car on site in a gated area.

Humble place, but good value for the money.
I was very happy with the atmosphere at the guest house, and all in all I was satisfied with my stay. This guest house is driven by the owners in a very welcoming and guest friendly way, and I can only recommend others to visit the place, if they appreciate personality and autencity from the place they are staying. Especially if you yourself is a person who likes to involve yourselv with the people who surround you. The place itself is not in the best maintenance condition, and it is not located in the best place, if you want to be close to downtown. On the other hand it takes only 40 minutes walk to downtown, and 1 hours walk to the water front, and it is possible to shop all dayly necessaries in the near neighborhood. All in all I was happy with my stay, and I give the place an honest recommendation.

Not what I was expecting from a 3 star rated establishment. The room was the major disapointment. Very basic and poorly equiped. It is understandable that the building is a heratage siteand no major structural adhancements can be made.
