    Yves & Valérie our real hosts with all sorts of inside information about places to go, living in Capetown and how to get everywhere. Their boutique hotel breaths the old settlers atmosphere and it’s an ideal place between Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch, downtown Cape Town & the airport

    This is an unparalleled level of quality. It can't be compared to a five-star hotel or a boutique stay. A new category should be created for a place like this, where perfection, sophistication, genuine hospitality, and sincerity all come together. Add to that a spotless environment and a safe, peaceful location, and you have something exceptional. Thank you, Yves and Valerie. What a truly special place.

    Nothing at all.

    Beautiful old but well-maintained house converted into a boutique hotel. Tastefully decorated with comfortable rooms and lovely breakfast room. Great breakfast menu. Small and personable; our hosts Yves and Valerie made us feel right at home and met all our needs. Set in a quiet and safe neighbourhood just below university campus, it was a short drive to the city, airport, V&A Waterfront and Kirstenbosch botanical gardens; we found it very convenient.

    It's a drive/taxi to most places you'd want to go, but they have private parking and plenty of Ubers around so didn't present an issue.

    Truly excellent little hotel in Cape Town. Couldn't recommend more.

    I can't recommend this hotel highly enough, with its large, comfortable, elegantly decorated rooms in the midst of a lovely garden, a perfect haven in the midst of Cape Town. Breakfast is superb, the staff is very friendly and conscientious, and Yves and Valerie are always ready to help with advice or arranging something. My only worry before arriving was that it seemed a bit far from the town center, but it is a short (and inexpensive) uber ride to most anywhere in town, and the cars arrive within a couple of minutes. All in all a truly lovely place to stay.

    Be aware that Rondebosch is a bit outside the tourist area of Cape Town, so many tours will not offer pickup there. Other than that the area is save and there is a good restaurant reachable by foot. A very minor point is that there is a cleaning device with a flexible pipe permanently in the pool which is sometimes a bit awkward when swimming.

    The old building has an amazing flair of older times while the staff is lovely. The gardens surrounding the property look very pleasant and the pool is clean and able to be used (which is not the norm in SA)

    Sometimes traffic jam when u go to/from WF, buts it’s not a problem

    Absolutely everything. Very hospitable and pleasant hosts - Yves and Valerie. Beautiful cozy house in Victorian style, spacious rooms, a huge number of little things that sometimes you feel like you are in the late 19th century. The garden is beyond praise, everything is very well maintained, flowers. clean pool (it's a pity there was no chance to use it). The area is calm and quiet, 15 minutes by uber to the Waterfront. Delicious and varied breakfasts in the garden created a great mood for the whole day. Thank you, we will come back!

    This boutique hotel is truly unique in terms of its interiors and guest relations. We spent a week there with our three children, surrounded by the attentive care and warmth of Valérie and Yves. What we loved most was the hotel's convenient location, cleanliness, and cozy, homelike atmosphere.
