Construction work next to the house obviously impacting the experience. Still, starting and ending at very acceptable hour, so no impact on the nights, and it is a reality all around Camps Bay and other parts of Cape Town, so more something to anticipate than to avoid.

Everything! Great view on the bay, great west orientation of the rooms enabling to enjoy the sunset from your room and balcony, beautiful modern house with vast bedroom and bathroom, very comfortable bed, great staff offering a great level of service and caring about making your experience as good as possible. Outstanding discussions with Ani who really helped us understand better South Africa and Cape Town and spent a lot of time with us. Fantastic breakfast. Location very practical to cover the various areas of interest of Cape Town by car, whilst being in a very safe, quiet residential area. Camps Bay as such is great, with probably one of the nicest beaches around Cape Town.

Stunning location with a great view over the vast Camps Bay and surroundings. Modern facilities with a great host as well as staff. Loved the breakfast of course. Thank you.

We would love it if we could come back with our children however the home is unfortunately not child friendly.

The host was extremely attentive to all our needs, and made me feel very special on my birthday. The house is beautiful and luxurious and we will definitely be back again.

I wish there were some special offers for a long stay. Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier, as the renovation started in the neighboring building and it was very noisy. But I'm sure it's temporary inconvenience.

I've been wanting to write a review about this gorgeous hotel for a long time. I was impressed. Just amazing. The work that the owners of the hotel have done is incredible. In every detail of the interior, in every little piece, the care of the guests was noticeable. Thoughtfulness in everything. The refrigerator, flowers, fruits, slippers, jars of treats and all sorts of small things – everything indicated that the hotel owners had not just filled the room with some kind of staff, but thought over different scenarios of staying in the hotel and adjusted to them. And it is also visible and felt in literally everything that the owners are not greedy – everything is done with soul and high quality. It's impossible to describe everything – it was just everywhere. I noticed and appreciated every detail. It was very pleasant. And of course, the view from the room is just wonderful.

This was our first time in Cape Town, and albeit only for one night, our stay was made incredibly special by Ani (and Prudence). The property itself is absolutely stunning, with a high quality finish. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and although we arrived in torrential thunderstorm, the balcony view was something else. On a beautiful day, I expect it would take your breath away. Ani couldn’t be more hospitable, catering to our every need, and making accommodations for our early arrival. Breakfast was homemade and delicious too - especially the scrambled egg. I couldn’t recommend Atholl House more - you absolutely must stay here! We wish we had stayed for longer.

Loved the view, decor and breakfasts. This was a lovely place to chill out and relax after a busy two weeks touring South Africa. Easy to walk or uber down to the waterfront with it’s great range of bars and restaurants.

Location perfect, a very high quality finish in the rooms and the staff were so helpful. The manager also made us feel very welcome. We would stay again in a heart beat. The breakfast was perfectly prepared by Prudance!

It maybe an idea to provide a menu for breakfast as felt a little uncomfortable and unsure about asking what was on offer.

I was provided with a wide choice of vegan food for my breakfast which I really appreciated.

Great location. Fantastic service and attention to personal detail from Ani and the team. The hotel only has a few rooms which makes an intimate and exclusive feel when combined with the views.

Best place to stay in Capetown only a short drive to the beach. The rooms were beautiful with comfy beds and tastefully decorated. The staff were so accommodating and even made an effort to celebrate my birthday. Lovely breakfast and generous refreshments throughout the day.

Everything! Great location, beautiful views, comfortable room, wonderful staff, delicious food (they even bought me lots of different gluten free breads and treats b/c I have celiac disease). Ani is such a lovely lady and she was particularly helpful with activity recommendations. Prudence cooked fabulous omelets and grilled mushrooms for me every morning. Bettina was always friendly and cheerful. I highly recommend this lovely B & B!

Fantastic facility with a modern design and exceptional view on Camps bay beach. The host Ani and her team were amazing and ensured that our needs are met. She provided help even with developing the daily plan and shared suggestions to visit the attractions and perform the activities in Cape Town.

This was a flawless stay. I honestly don't have a bad word to say. I think I would use this space to stress that Atholl is not a hotel. It is a luxury guest house, run with lots of love and care to provide a bespoke and unique experience for each and every guest. The facilities are impeccable and everything about Atholl is FIVE STAR!

Where do I start to sing the praises of this stay! Atholl House is the perfect stay for anyone who is visiting Cape Town for the first time and a little nervous about safety in South Africa. I was uncharacteristically nervous about safety before arriving in Cape Town. However, being greeted by William at the airport, a trusted driver for Atholl House and then arriving at the Atholl.... all my concerns melted away instantaneously. The accommodation is stunning, with large spacious rooms, modern fittings, lavish facilities and breath taking views. There was a delicious breakfast every morning with a diverse range of options and tasty omelette! Then you can't forget Ani, the star of the show! The hostess with the mostess. She went above and beyond to welcome us to Cape Town with so much warmth and love. She works with a lovely team, who keep the house in an impeccable state. She gave excellent advise to explore the city in a safe and comfortable way. My wife and I sincerely miss our morning chats with her, she is a master of the "small touches" which really elevated this guest house above the rest. She is a beautiful person inside and out! We cannot wait to revisit Atholl house again! Love, Dilan and Louise x

I have tried to figure out something to comment, but our staying was absolutely flawless.

Absolutely amazing! The most beautiful house, incredible rooms, great location, lovely staff. Anni arranged everything for our staying, including a driver (the best in town) for a few day-trips. One of the best places I have ever been to!

Perhaps a heartier breakfast, but it was still good.

Ani was a wonderful host and the place had amazing views.
