This is a small guesthouse in a great location. Gordon, the manager, is extremely helpful. There was something that needed fixing and it was taken care of within a couple of hours. This place is not luxury accomodation, but is really comfortable and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

I loved my stay with Gordon! It was clean, safe, comfortable, and in a convenient location. What I liked most was it was a much more authentic experience than staying in a big hotel. This way, you experience local living, which is really cool. My room and bathroom were regularly cleaned and stocked and the price was quite reasonable. Plus, even though there were several other guests there, the layout of the house affords excellent privacy. I never saw anyone else and barely heard them either! Gordon is very friendly, kind, and always available for questions and recommendations. He even saved me an Uber ride by driving me to the cruise terminal himself when it was time for me to leave, which was so generous of him. I highly recommend his guesthouse! Thank you, Gordon!

Flott opphold. Hentet av Gordon på flyplassen. Greit rom med kjøle- og fryseskap, greit bad og god seng. Super beliggenhet nær mine aktiviteter, men samtidig stille og rolig

Good location for walking to either the V&A Waterfront or downtown. Convenient to city bus routes. Breakfast is at a cafe about 2 blocks away. Nice start to the day. Gordon, the host, is very nice and accommodating.

In a lovely quiet area, that was ideal for walking to the city, Green Point, and the Waterfront.

MrGordon is an elder gentleman but went out if his way to see that we were comfortable. His location is very convenient to all the downtown hot spots Cape Town has to offer

Værelset var ikke i god stand. Flere ting virkede i stykker og slidt, men det var ok til et par dage.

Pius • Couple Trip

Zuerst hat uns Gordon die ersten 3 Nächte in ein Hotel geschickt. Überbucht. Das Deluxe Zimmer hat 9 m2 plus 2 m2 Dusche WC. Die Einrichtung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Vor allem die Bettwäsche. Am Schluss wollte er noch zusätzlich Fr. 75 für die drei Nächte im Hotel. Preis Leistung absolut nicht ok.

On check in , my bathroom hadn’t been serviced at all. Brake marks in the toilet, hair in the wash basin, no shampoo or body lotion in the bathroom, virtually no toilet paper. Most disappointing and the worst possible welcome any guest can receive.

Tanja • Couple Trip

We spend a few days at Gordons house. Its a perfect location for exploring the city and on a nice area. We had a room in the back, it was a little dark and small but ok. The bed coukd be better, should probably soon be changed. Breakfast is not in the house, but at a little place nearby. All in all we had some fine days here.

Even though I booked and paid for FOUR nights stay two weeks in advance, I was advised during the evening of my arrival that I could only stay for TWO nights due to their mistake and double booking the room. The owner found me alternative accommodation the next day, which transpired to be most unsuitable in a very rough area of Cape Town and caused me no end of inconvenience in having to repack and relocate to a new location nowhere near the original location I booked.

On entry to the room it was clear that the owner lived in an open plan area adjoining the room and seems to share the bathroom. There was dirty bed linen soaking in the bath. The room was dirty and musty. We turned the aircon on to provide fresh air. We could not leave the door open because another room looks into the room we were allocated. Hotel.com should not have this on their books until the ensure the owner has passed and electrical inspection. The electrics tripped out overnight and there were no lights in the morning and no hot water. We checked out immediately and found another venue for the Cape Town Mining Indaba.
