Lovely welcome by Anne, a clean room which was made up every day, comfortable, quiet area but just down the road from Kloof Street with everything you need nearby. A safe and convenient area for a solo traveller like myself.
One minus point was the lack of plugs in the room, meaning there was only one charging point in the corner of the room. Some people may say the bathroom could use a refresher, but everything did function well and was kept tidy and clean.

The guesthouse is super charming and greatly located. Sabine is very welcoming and has made the place so comfortable and pretty. We stayed in a beautiful bedroom with a lovely balcony. Everything was extra clean and there was tea and coffee in the bedroom (and the tap water is drinkable, which is a great plus). Although they don’t serve breakfast, you can fuel with some coffee and freshly made banana bread before leaving the house.
The only downside was how bright it was in the morning as the curtains aren’t very thick. I’d recommend bringing an eye mask!

8.0 / 10.0
We only stayed there for one night, but we liked this experience a lot. This house is situated on a quiet street but very close to a lively area with plenty of bars and restaurants. The host was very nice and made efforts to accommodate our needs. The place was super clean and the room was spacious.
There is no generator - we didn’t mind at all but it’s probably good to know it.

I was treated like a king by the owner, Sabine.
If you want to be treated like a number by someone on auto pilot on a busy reception desk, this place is not for you!
Sabine personally greets everyone and spends time explaining the location and city attractions, over a cup of coffee and her lovely banana bread.
The area is safe, bars and restaurants are a couple of minutes walk away, and uebers to town are very cheap.
Absolutely nothing

This is simply a wonderful hotel run by a lovely lady, Sabine.
Upon arrival her famous banana bread is served with coffee as Sabine takes time with you to explain the local places of interest, and marks them on a map she gives you.
The venue is situated in the gardens district, all clean and safe, and is within walking distance of a park, supermarket, restaurants, and bars. Only negative is a lack of street taxis, so it is really essential to be able to use uber here.
Every morning Sabine greets you with coffee and banana bread, and a quick chat. The personal service here is outstanding.
Will I stay again? I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Cape Town!
Many thanks Sabine.
Absolutely nothing.

Sabine is a really nice host. The room is clean and comfortable and the area is nice.
It's a bit tricky to take a shower in the bathtub without flooding the bathroom.
