This accommodation was totally ideal to all of very central Capetown,ie Kloof st and Long streets plus delightful to stay in Welgelegen,to also witness Table Mountain from the hotel ( directly above)was slightly surreal,there it is that icon standing there minding it's own business. The Waterfront although close does take a 45 minute walk and don't walk at night. Back... more

During our 5 night stay we were made to feel welcome from arriving to leaving. One of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed in. The little complimentary extras were much appreciated, e.g. port, fruit and homemade biscuits in the room to port, sherry and nibbles in the lounge on an evening. In a quiet location with some great restaurants... more

A great place to stay in Cape Town! We've been lucky enough to have stayed here twice and will stay again on our next trip to Cape Town. The service is terrific. The rooms have lots of charm! The breakfast is amazing. Very nice neighborhood, and easy access to the jewels of Cape Town. Fiona and staff do a wonderful... more

This was our first trip to South Africa and we started with 4 nights at Welgelegen Guest House and it was a most wonderful start to our holiday. We had a lovely friendly welcome from Danielle on our arrival and she arranged for our room to be made available early. While we waited she set a table up for us... more

Just off Kloof Street/Long Street with numerous bars and restaurants for lunch and dinner. Short drive to Table Mountain and V&A waterfront. Beautiful decor throughout this updated Dutch colonial home. Great breakfast served from 7:30 am until 10:00 am -- cooked to order each day. Very friendly and helpful staff. We loved this place and would stay again on our... more

Look no further and book early in Capetown, then let your mind be at ease. Easy cab ride to the waterfront. The rooms and guest house are beautifully decorated. The Staff, especially Anine, make you feel like you are the only guests. It has numerous restaurants within walking distance and is in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfasts are outstanding. The wellness... more

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in South Africa, which started with 6 nights at the Welgelegen Guest House. From the moment we arrived this felt like the right place to be. A very friendly welcome from Anine, the manageress, who made us feel at home straight away, and gave us a very informative briefing on the... more

Three couples traveled together and spent five nights at the Welgelegen. We were courteously greeted when we arrived and quickly taken to our rooms. All were pleasant with wonderful views of the city and great accommodations. No detail was overlooked, from the chocolates on our pillows each night to the heated towel racks in the bathrooms. The breakfasts were great.... more
