The house is lovely and in a very central area. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean and a nice addition with the coffee and muffins in the morning. I would recommend this accomodation and stay here again :)

We had an amazing stay! The location is perfect, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The owner was incredibly welcoming and he gave us some excellent tips on local attractions and activities. One of the highlights was the opportunity to use the canoes – such a unique experience! The place is well-kept, and we truly felt at home.

The staff were amazing and extremely kind to us by letting us use a free room to change and shower the day of our flight (our flight was at midnight). We couldn’t recommend this place more. Thank you Tina and the owners.

This is a fantastic place, and it truly deserves five stars. Large rooms with a fantastic view and exceptional staff. If you want a luxury holiday in a tranquil location, this is a place where you should go. It is outside of the city but at the same time close enough to the city.

Perfect one night stay. John was welcoming and so was the dog. I stayed in the single room which is great for a solo traveler and has everything and more than I needed. Would definitely stay here again

Fantastic guest house in a great location which is ideal for exploring the Cape. The hosts Michael and Jeanne are terrific and are extremely helpful with great local guidance. Breakfast was a real treat - most of the food is either local or home made (bread and yoghurt). Jeanne also bakes a 'treat of he day' which is always delicious. Our room (202) was excellent - large bedroom with a terrace facing the sea. The property is in a cul-de-sac and so it is very quiet. Highly Recommended

Cheviot Place is a great place in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very charming and you can walk to places like the Waterfront or Green Point Park. There are a large number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. On the other hand, James is a great host and has given us many good tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. In summary, Cheviot Place is a highly recommended place to spend a few quiet days in Cape Town in a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

I stayed at 10 different guest houses during my trip in South Africa and Maartens Guesthouse is definitely my favourite! His warm personality, wicked sense of humour and attention to detail really makes us feel at home. He’s not only a great host but also a very kind friend. Thank you for having us!

Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.
