You will find fine rooms with all facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The free Internet is limited, but normally sufficient. The restaurant is cosy, but with mainly smaller disches. The breakfast is very nice. The price is in the upper end.

The Palm House described in their latest brochure as a Boutique Hotel is attractive and appears smart and tidy on first sight , maybe a few areas for the sharp eyes are a little tired but not anything to worry about. There were three couples in our group using the Hotel as a base for two weeks holiday. We found... More

Even though it was a short trip and it was during the holiday breaks for the Palm House staff, Mr. Sean (General Manager) made our stay wonderful. We had a warm welcome upon checking-in and their services were beyond our expectations. On the day we arrived, there was a party so they upgraded us to Carmel Cottage to give us... More

In this guest house you will find luxury and fine rooms. The breakfast is fine and the service superior. The Internet is to be paid for, but 5 Mb is free. The location is wonderful with some nice view from the windows. The price was reasonable.

We were on a business trip to Cape Town and were recommended this place by our local business partners whose office was a street away from the Palm House. Location wise Wynberg isn't exactly the place you'd be staying in, if you were visiting Cape Town but for us it turned out to be extremely convenient. We did move out... More

I stayed with my family for a week at the end of Dec 2011 to early Jan 2012. The staff were excellent and the rooms comfortable and clean. A great base for a family stay in Cape Town.

Stayed here for 5 nights over Dec 11 and Jan 12. Rooms were large and well equiped. Service from all the staff was great - special mention to Sean and Gilbert. The breakfasts were filling and good food. The pool is excellent and great after a hot day of sightseeing. Excellent views from my room overlooking the mountains. A little... More
