If you are looking for a nice warm and quiet stay in Newlands outside of the craziness of downtown. This is the place to be, lovely couple that own the Newlands Guesthouse with fantastic staff. If only they had control of the weather. I went it the autumn and lots of rain.

The Newlands Guest House, a charming place built in 1836, has all necessary modern amenities including a swimming pool. Sarah and John, the proprietors, were the perfect hosts. They were very friendly & helpful with info about local places to see & dine at. We began each morning with a hearty meal, with hot & cold selections. Our room was very spacious and clean. Their cats & dog were a bonus. Our room opened onto a delightful garden. We had a wonderful three night stay at NGH, & would gladly return.

Our highlight was definitely the owner Sarah. Her helpful, friendly and very capable approach made the stay very enjoyable! The room was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. The property is located in a beautiful area and feels very safe and secure.The breakfast was absolutely delicious and served in a lovely diningroom. Tip of the day: if you visit in summer bring a swimsuit! The pool looked so inviting, and we wished we had! Thank you for your fabulous hospitality and care! Anita, Daniel & Marge

A very good place to stay as I did not expect it to be so nice. The room was fantastic, and the breakfast was exceptional and well worth the reasonable price. I would stay here again and highly recommended.

The proprietors are most welcoming, and no doubt receive a lot of repeat custom as a result. The place is beautiful, and it's setting and location are stunning. The bedrooms are thoughtfully provided for, and tastefully decorated. I will definitely be heading back here when next in Cape Town.

Stunning property. Some of the rooms are designed like private cottages and have their own separate entrances. Although in a guest house, this gives a more private feel. It is very tastefully decorated. The property owners are wonderful - friendly and accommodating. If ever in Cape Town again, this is where I will be staying.

Un établissement superbe dans lequel nous avons passé un séjour extraordinaire. La chambre Deluxe est très confortable. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et très bon. Et surtout Sarah et John, les propriétaires de la Guesthouse sont exceptionnels. En plus de leur extrême gentillesse, ils ont su nous guider dans l'organisation de nos visites !

As I was back from a vacation abroad and had to halt my next journey, I needed a place to stay. Watershed Guest House was introduced to me. On my arrival, I was greeted with sincere warmth and hospitality. For 7 months, I stayed with john and sarah, and it was a fantastic time. It was truly a home away from home experience, as I got to interact with other guests and fell in love with the family dog, Shamble. I appreciate john, sarah, and simon for making me feel so welcome. I will always cherish my stay with you. I love wayne.

A home away from home in a convenient location that is also naturally serene and serene. Wonderful hosts and a friendly break from the usual chain hotel lifestyle with a noticeable and welcome difference in the pocket and travel psyche.

It was so satisfying. When coming here, I came here and greeted us kindly. Everything worked perfectly and it was easy for us. It's like being at home. I'm really happy with my stay here.

I will not hesitate to come back here, because the friendliness and kindness of Sarah made me feel uncomfortable. I also love the fresh breakfast with high-quality ingredients. The cleanliness of the room was very nice and comfortable. We also got an amazing garden.

4.2/526 Jul 2022

I will recommend everyone to attend. The owner welcomes and has a heart of hospitality. Sara engages her client and addresses all concerns, the Breakfast is top of the range.

The property was nice and the owner was very flexible in allowing us to store quite a bit of luggage for the day. Breakfast was delicious.

Le stanze sono pulite e ben arredate. La casa complessivamente accogliente. Personale disponibile e simpatico anche per colazione fuori orario la mattina presto. La zona non sembra particolarmente sicura. Peccato per gli asciugamani veramente "datati" .
