It's really easy to roll out a load of clichés about boutique accommodation; but this hotel deserves an actual considered review as it genuinely does go above and beyond (OK, last cliché, I promise) I was on a whistle stop tour of Cape Town needing to both work and play. It was my first visit and although I love to... More

This is just a fantastic hotel and a great location. Wonderful staff and lovely room. The pool is great and beautifully well maintained and clean. The breakfast was really good. I will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at Derwent House very much. The communal rooms have a very African theme which was something very different for us. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming.

From the amenities to the location to the standard of comfort - Derwent House is simply exceptional. The most impressive aspect of the stay... More

I stayed here for 2 nights prior to a conference, on a very last minute booking. Picked this hotel based on its excellent reviews, and I was afraid to be disappointed, but I truly had a very comfortable experience here. On arrival the staff greeted me by my first name which made me feel at home, and they showed me... More

We stayed 4 nights at Derwent House in March 2013. Even before arriving we received really helpful advice from Carol by email and throughout our stay we had fantastic support from the staff. Our room (No 1) was not large but had a lovely terrace and a fantastic view of Table Mountain. Breakfast was excellent. The location was great for... More
