Perfect if you want old charm
Added a few days in Cape Town to a business trip and stayed here. Decided it would be easier for parking over a city centre hotel and also fancied somewhere with character. Its not a hotel, its a guest house and not perfect, however if little things like low pressure in the shower dont bother you id highly recommend it. Location wise its perfect. You can walk UP to the table mountain lift station and into town easily, we even walked back from signal hill on the old tracks dropping straight into the estate area at sun down. On the doorstep is a great restraunt and a fab bar opposite (upstairs) which is pretty hipster but great beer and awesome food, cheap and the sort of place you lose yourself in all night. Theres also some nice coffee shops and such on the doorstep too. The host was great and nice selection of food for breakfast. Overall a great change to a hotel and reasonable price too. Would you stay again, yes!

Excellent location for 20 minute walk to historic district of Cape Town. There were electricity shortages in the city during my stay, such that power was cut off one evening and in the middle of the night on another occasion which tended to play a bit of havoc in terms of battery recharging and AC but unless one would expect a B& B to have its own independent generator, (which I did not), then that’s beyond the control of the the hotelier. The property, in an upscale, gated community, has an eclectic clientele ranging from backpackers to business travellers, all of whom seem to abide by the quiet, informal rules and each suite has its own bathroom and informal sitting area.

Good location for cape town stay
Good stay, conveniently located, no parking available although booking said free parking, no major issue. No breakfast service in morning when i was there so just had some fruit. Loud guests in morning outside room was my wake up call. Well priced.

Comfortable guest house, good location
Wow! That was my reaction when I entered my room. It was spacious, well equipped & beautifully designed. The bed looked very inviting. The in-room safe deposit box was big enough to hold my camera & tablet along with other items. The bathroom was spacious with towels and toiletries. Breakfast was good, the homemade banana bread was delicious. The view from the veranda was great. It was lovely to eat my breakfast, sitting in the sunshine. It’s in a good location, close to bus stop and restaurants. Kloof Road with lots more bars and restaurants is a little further away. I was a lone, female traveller and would not recommend walking alone at night but the daytime was perfectly safe.

Victorian B&B in safe residential area.
Stayed for 6 nights at the Blue House in the economy double room. I had been a bit concerned it would be tiny however was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and the fact it had a private balcony overlooking the local park. The room was kept clean and tidy by the staff. The local area was very attractive with a range of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops within 10 minutes walk on Kloof Street. So no need to worry about a taxi.
