This is without question the best B&B we’ve rented.
1) Location: we woke up every morning to the sight of the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, as the water glistened under the rising sun.
2) Service: they were attentive, caring, and their response time was speedy. You felt like you had gone home to visit your favorite relatives. The best part about the service was the tiny fur babies that greeted us on arrival and checked on us every morning.
3) Cleanliness and decor: this is the first time I’ve stayed at a B&B and did not feel the need to sanitize the entire flat before getting settled in. The decor screamed ‘glamorously comfortable’. Old world met new world in proportions that were just right enough to make the room a statement piece of its own, fit for a showcased home.
4) Food: thanks to them, I think I’m carrying around an extra 4 pounds. Little homemade pastries, freshly made, always seemed to find their way into our room, hands, and mouths. The breakfast spread was irresistible. On our last day William made Mona, a Spanish bread traditionally served during Easter, that was his grandmother’s culinary treasure. Not only was it delicious, but knowing that we got to enjoy a piece of his family history was priceless.
Thank you for an amazing ‘Cape-cation’. We will always stay here whenever we visit Cape Town.

Easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. Wonderful sceneries, friendly staff, excellent location. Outstanding breakfast and freshly cooked evening meal if you ask for it beforehand. Very spacious rooms and it is certainly home from home. It is an excellent base for the gateway to Cape Point, Boulder Bay and Chapman’s Peak. Car is essential for easy travel.

Residence William French greatly exceeded our expectations! We made our booking there due to its close proximity to the Cape of Good Hope and Boulder’s Beach, excited about hiking and penguins. It turns out our experience at Residence William French rivaled our experiences at the Cape and with the penguins; it was fantastic! The residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, perched on a hillside with a stunning view of False Bay. The property is impeccably decorated, comfortable, and welcoming. Our dinner and breakfast there were beautifully and thoughtfully prepared, and delicious, on par with the best meals we’ve had in Cape Town. William is the perfect host. We were sad to leave, wishing we’d booked more nights there.
