The guest house is a beautiful well-maintained building. The rooms are very comfortable with attention to detail. Rusks and little treats on the pillows. The bed was large and comfortable, with a good mattress. A lovely balcony with a view of the mountains in a peaceful and safe neighborhood. A good breakfast and the hostess was friendly and engaging. Will definitely stay again.

A Hidden Gem in Cape Town – Perfect Stay During SARIMA Conference
I had the pleasure of staying at Penelope’s property during the SARIMA conference in Cape Town, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The home is architecturally stunning, with a modern yet warm design that immediately makes you feel welcome. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, and the rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable throughout my stay.
One of the standout features was the serene environment it offered the perfect escape after long conference days. Mornings were a treat with a delicious breakfast served in a peaceful setting. The property is ideally located: just a stone’s throw away from a beautiful open recreation centre and nestled beside a scenic mountainous area. Public amenities are all within close reach, which made getting around incredibly convenient.
The neighbourhood itself is safe and tranquil, with well-paved roads and inviting streets. I felt completely at ease going for early morning runs or evening strolls. The fast and reliable Wifi was a definite plus, and having access to Netflix made unwinding in the evenings all the more enjoyable. The hosts were exceptionally hospitable-warm, attentive and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their genuine care truly elevated the entire experience.
All in all, Penelope’s place offered the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and charm. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cape Town whether for business or leisure.

Penelope's place was neat, immaculately clean and comfortable. It's a perfect spot for a stop in Stellenbosch, close enough to the town but far out enough to experience the quieter suburb feel. We stayed here for a night while attending an event close by and the room was perfect for our short stay. The room is spacious, light and airy and Penelope caters for all the small details. Better than photos. We appreciated all the small details in the room, which made our stay that much more comfortable. Side note - her home made rusks are delicious!

Our stay was peaceful and tranquil. A very comfortable stay in a lovely neighborhood. Penelope's welcome was very warm and friendly. We will certainly book again. Thank you.
A minor adjustment for a 10 out of 10, is the absence of a nice comfortable wingback chair in the room. The rest, simply perfect. Thank you.

We had a nice room with a balcon.
The breakfast was delicious fresh bacon & eggs, cheese, bread and fruit. Nothing we missed.
We had a nice time, had a lovely hike at Jonkershoek and many wine tastings. Penelope and her husband were very kind and had many ideas about what to do. Our favorit wine estate was Boschendal.

A lovely house in the comfortable suburbs about 10 minutes drive from the town centre and close to Stellenbosch Golf Club. Very nice room with a comfortable bed and a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and swimming pool. Penelope was a super friendly and helpful host, who made us feel welcome and she shared many tips for great places to visit nearby that we would not have otherwise known about. Breakfast was delicious and served in the garden or kitchen depending on the weather.
