We travelled through SA for 3 weeks, stayed in many guesthouses and had not one bad experience. What makes Welgelegen special and different from the rest are the many small details : welcome letter, hot water bottles, a glass of port in the afternoon etc. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, with the center... more

We just got back from our honeymoon in South Africa and loved Welgelegen Guest House. The guest house is located well and makes it easy to reach all tourist places and many restaurants easily. It is very clean and cozy and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is plenty and very yummy. At night, guests were offered complementary... more

We stayed her for 4 nights and it was a great location for exploring the city. we could see Table Mountain and Signal Hill from the hotel. The room was very comfortable and the bath was large with a great shower. Breakfast was included with a cold buffet and hot breakfast if desired. Hot water bottles and chocolates include in... more

We spent 5 nights at Welgelegen in late April and could not have been more delighted with the warm gracious feeling of the place. The owner, Fiona Evans, and her staff were available, helpful, and so friendly. It is well located -- an easy walk to Kloof Street for shops and restaurants -- with a great view of Table Mountain... more

Like most Brits when I see 'Guest House' I think B&B, Eastbourne, and all that follows, in South Africa, I was told that is not the same...How enlightened those travellers who told me this are..by chance, and good fortune, I booked 4 days in the Welgelegen Guest House at the beginning of my stay in SA, I found this establishment... more

We stayed here for our last 2 nights in Cape Town - having come in from the Winelands having stayed at Akademie in Franschoek and we initially spent 5 nights at twentytwo when we arrived in CT. If this had been our first port of call I think we'd have gone away happy - but sadly after our two amazing... more

The start of our stay at the Welgelegen Guest House was a typical travel story. Our plane got in late and one of our bags was lost. We were delighted to crash in our comfortable room after 9 days on safari and a long travel day. We had pre-booked massages for the next morning which were fantastic. Then the hotel... more

Welgelegen Guest House is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Beautiful and old fashion with two seperate buildings with a lovely courtyard in the middle. The management and staff are instantly like family and dealt with every request with a smile. They definetly care and have the best bread in the world. more

where to begin? you know that home you've always dreamed about where designer-wise, is exceptional and comfort-wise, is "take your shoes off and kick-back awhile"? well, look no further. this home has it all. the rooms are all different and well appointed with all the amenities you would find in a 5 star hotel. the crispy linens, the water bottles... more

I've wanted to go to S Africa for years and it certainly exceeded all of our expectations. For our Cape Town leg I'd also considered the Cape Grace Hotel and Cape Cadogan and I'm so glad we picked Welegelegen. The house is, as previous reviews, situated in a residential area about a 5 min walk from Kloof Street and it's... more
