I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Morningside Cottage. The staff were absolutely incredible. I arrived on a late flight into Cape Town International Airport, and I only got to the property at around midnight. Simphiwe, one of the ladies who lives on the property, was there to greet me and opened up the security gate when I buzzed. I was delighted to be able to park my rental vehicle in the secure parking on the property, which was a few steps away from my room. The room itself was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. A spacious room with a comfortable, king sized bed, and two chairs. A large ensuite bathroom with a shower. There was a safe in the hanging cupboard. There were coffee and tea facilities on the small desk under the mirror. There was also a fan on another desk under the wall-mounted TV. Heading out of my room, there was a large patio next door, alongside an immaculate pool. Some tables and chairs were set up for al fresco breakfasts. Inside the large communal area of the property was the breakfast buffet area with more tables, a little lounge area with a lending library bookshelf, a kitchen, and the reception desk. There was also a little honesty bar with snacks, crisps, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Guests are welcome to take what they need, mark down their purchases in the honesty book and then settle up later. The breakfasts were fantastic. Frank cooked my full English breakfast perfectly and it was a great way to start each day. There were also cereals, fruit and yoghurt, preserves, orange juice and a coffee and tea maker on the breakfast buffet. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with every aspect of my stay at Morningside Cottage. I had a comfortable night's sleep every night of my stay and I awoke refreshed and ready for the day.
There was nothing I didn't like. Everything was perfect!

Great location in a quiet suburb. the room was a good size with ensuite and the bedding was of a high standard From the moment we arrived to to when we left after 5 days the staff were excellent especially Nushka and Terri.
Breakfast was excellent and certainly set us up for the day ahead.
When in Cape Town would definately go back again.

Very nice bed and breakfast, cosy room, tastefully furnished, bed was very comfortable, quiet neighbourhood!
The only complaint, and this is really minor, the venetian blinds needed dusting! The window had been open so this probably contributed, so a minor thing!

Tasty breakfast friendly and helpful staff member that went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. Day time staff member was informative, friendly and helped me by always been 1 step ahead. She was also genuinely friendly I felt like I was dealing with US a grade customer service in Florida. So refreshing to have that here.

Very nice an comfortable room with all the extras one would expect from a 4* establishment. Good size shower, plenty of hot water, very comfortable bed. We stayed there for the 2nd time now and will go back there. Very safe and quiet neighbourhood. They even put on the heater before we arrived, which make a difference to arriving in an ice-cold room.
The bread options at breakfast were a bit limited. Only toast (white and brown), no sourdough or health bread.

The location and the adequate size of the bedroom and spacious bathroom. The breakfast was also very good.
The room and bathroom hat slapstick tiles that were vey cold. With minimum carpeting this made the room cold. It was warm enough in bed but a second heater would have helped.
Tea and coffee available but no cups.

Bath did not have a plug.
Soap dispenser in shower not releasing any soap.
No top sheet on bed.

Location good and property secure. Beds clean and good size and breakfast had to be selected night before and selection was ok but limited. Good secure parking available for at least 6 cars
Mine and my friends room were located either side of the reception/terrace/ pool area ( nos 1&2). Other guests would walk easily in front of our rooms and be able to look in so little privacy and cars entering gravel car park affected sleep in room 1. Breakfast choice was limited ( but well cooked) and cold options very basic. Bottled water available but you have to pay for it. Frances - the owner- was a little intrusive. Cleaning of room/ bathroom could be improved and room needed some improvements to fittings. No fridge in rooms.

It was near where we had to be the following morning
The light they gave me for loadshedding did not work and my children’s light in the next room was very dim. when I WhatsApp them to ask for a new light they did not respond and I had to sit in a dark room the rest of the night.

I recently had a one night stay to attend a family occasion in Cape Town. Morningside Cottage is superbly situated, spotlessly clean, fresh and bright rooms with all amenities I needed, friendly host, delicious breakfast and beautiful, peaceful surrounds. It was a perfect spot for me to rest and prepare for the busy day ahead. I will be back. Thank you Frances and Frank.

Francis is always so warm and helpful. I initially felt very much welcomed and at home.
Other guests were allowed to noisily party the whole night through right in front of my room. I had to take a sleeping tablet in order to sleep some hours. This had a detrimental effect on my ability to focus the next day. I came to Cape Town for training, but could barely take in any information because of this. I would like an explanation as to why this was allowed, not just an apology. Since this is so unheard of and inappropriate, I cannot help to quess that I was seen as 'just an older woman,' not a man or accompanied by a man and therefore unworthy of the same respect others are treated with.

Small added touches like fans in all the rooms and bug spray.
Lovely pool area and great breakfast which was beautifully presented.
