Oh how lovely to be in a creative environment and enjoy the lovely pottery pieces all over the property. It's a very relaxed atmosphere. We were so appreciative to be able to use the washing machine too. There are some lovely restaurants a 5 min walk away in Second Avenue. We will definitely be back next year on our return to Cape Town.

I stayed here for three nights with the main road so that the security is good for the residents. The condition of the room was clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location is also safe. You can get the very unique porcelain gifts for yourself and other people. There are also a lot of restaurant nearby. I hope to visit again.

It was a great, clean and quiet guest house close to the Kenilworth Shopping Mall and Cavendish Shopping Mall.

I stayed here for three nights (may show as "Marcia" but I'm Sarah). The check in was seamless and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Gorgeous house, lots of quirky items to catch one's attention. The room had a kitchenette, hot plate, dishes, french press, bathroom-shower, bed, heater, water bottles, iron, closet and table. Also, a huge bookcase with lots of interesting books. The room had a separate entrance so I could come and go without worrying about disturbing anyone. It's a working home, and there are other rooms as well, so there's often people coming/going. I needed a few days away to hold up and to do work, and this was perfect. Parking was also available upon reservation, but after seeing the street, I confidently left my car parked there (without incident).

I spent two nights at the pottery studio. The room was comfortable and clean. Although I had a private bathroom it wasn't guaranteed, which was a bit awkward in a shared house, the bathroom was clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place for those who just want to sleep but not for those who want to spend time at the house.

I spent two nights in the pottery factory. The room was cozy and spotless. Although there was a private bathroom, it wasn't, which was a touch awkward in a shared house, but it was clean and big. The employees were very nice and welcoming. This is an option for anyone looking for a place to sleep, but not for those who want to spend their time at the residence.

The location is very strategic, and the staff is also friendly and clean. You can get a very unique porcelain gift for yourself and others. They also serve good cuisine. I'm returning soon!

The location of this place is excellent because it is near restaurants and shops. We chose the hotel because of its strategic location. We were given access to the kitchen which was a big plus.

Really enjoyed my stay. Room was super clean and serviced daily. Host was very accommodating to allow for an early check in and also gave me an upgrade as that room was available:) Very comfortable nights sleep. I personally think a bar fridge in each room may make it a bit more comfortable and if the mirror in the bathroom was wall mounted. Other then that absolutely no complaints. There are many restaurants nearby too within walking distance.Will definitely stay here again should the opportunity arise.

After a grueling 14 hour drive from Johannesburg, it was comforting to arrive at the guest house, which was clean and tidy. The manageress took a few minutes to show me the ropes, and we were all set. Lots of places very close by to have dinner and breakfast. Nice and quiet and got a good nights sleep. Great coffee in the morning

Rowan is a gracious and warm, accommodating hostess. The room was spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated. Beautiful artwork everywhere. The house has amazing wooden floors. The bathroom is spacious, very neat, clean and functional. The bathroom is not en suite and is shared with other guest, but not once did I bump into somebody or was there a knock on the door. The coffee and tea is of very good quality and thoughtfully presented. Harfield village has a great variety of eateries and is within walking distance. I can strongly recommend this accommodation.

Das B&B liegt versteckt in einem ruhigen Vorort von Kapstadt. Zwei Parallelstrassen davon entfernt befinden sich mehrere Restaurants, die feine Spezialitäten aus aller Welt anbieten. Dort kann man auch frühstücken, da im Haus kein Morgenessen serviert wird.
