We spent a wonderful eight days in this beautiful guesthouse during our one month South Africa vacation and we were truly sorry to leave. As soon as we arrived we had a warm welcome by our hosts, Ritje and Eric, and it was the start of many more plus points: a fantastic room and bathroom, a wonderful view, a great... More

Again, I spent a week in the B&B Topsy-Turvy Somerset-West. Knowing their are several good B&B's in this area, I prefer to stay in Topsy-Turvy. Not only it's location but also the good-feeling with the guesthouse-owners Ritje and Eric are my arguments to go back each-time. You feel at home by them ! A perfect guesthouse - a nice location...

We were excited to find that the rooms were modern and spacious with every amenity. The hosts were warm and hospitable, nothing was too much to ask for. The breakfasts were fresh and absolutely...

We found Topsy Turvy via Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. The setting of the guest house is high up above Somerset West affording fantastic views over False Bay and Gordon's Bay and while 3 or 4 kms away from the main town is all the better for having the calmness, peace and quiet you'd hope of being slightly off...

We stayed at Topsy Turvy for 9 days. The first week was booked in advance, but we liked it so much, that we extended our stay here for the 2 nights we had left on our trip to South Africa. The beautiful villa with it's spacious rooms, the lovely owners Ritje and Erik, the stunning view, the delicious breakfast and... More

I stayed at Topsy Turvy with my wife and teenage son in December, 2010. After a horrendous, stress-filled journey from Brussels to Cape Town, Topsy Turvy was like a welcoming oasis in a desert. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the rooms good sized, and the pool refreshing. Not the cheapest place you will ever find, but definitely value for... More
