My wife and I stayed at Welgelegen for four nights in April 2013. The property is ideally situated near Kloof Street and, at the back. looking up to Table Mountain. This mainly residential area is very pleasant and safe. The public rooms are elegant and stylish and the little touches ... the complimentary port and the provision of an honesty... More

A beautiful guesthouse positioned in a quiet but central location. If you drew back the curtains of the room you were faced with a direct view of table mountain. The room was comfortable and cosy with a really spacious bathroom. Breakfast offered a great selection and the staff were beyond amazing... It was my 30th birthday and they had made... More

I contacted Welgelegen at the last minute but Fiona was exceptionally accommodating. I arrived earlier than my check-in and Fiona set me up with some coffee and biscuits in the lounge until my room was ready. I booked a mini-deluxe room. The room itself was really well-thought out with lovely, considered touches such as the welcome card, fresh milk (non... More

Our first trip to South Africa began with three nights at this delightful hotel in Cape Town. Staff were extremely helpful, suggesting and making restaurant bookings for our evening meal and advising on places to visit and helping with driving directions. When we experienced a 'hiccup' with our car rental they were on the phone immediately to sort things out... More

Our room was at the back of the hotel, which is really two separate houses that back on to each other, and the original front garden was our private garden with table & chairs and a lounger. The atmosphere for visitors is wonderful from start to finish - there are so may touches like the home made biscuits in the... More

Welgelegen was an excellent choice for our recent trip to Cape Town. My wife and I stayed here for three nights recently and we have nothing but good things to say about the B&B. From check in to check out everyone was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. Some comments: the front of house staff made us feel welcome, breakfast buffet... More

Everything about Welgelegen was wonderful - the staff, the rooms, the common areas and the breakfasts. Our hosts, Colleen and Fiona couldn't do enough for us to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We can't recommend it highly enough.
