I highly recommend this place especially for solo travelers or students. It's quiet and the hosts are very very kind. I literally felt like a member of the family. They made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. I came as an internship with low budget but I really enjoyed my stay. Argh I love them.

Devonport House is a tranquil reprieve from the bustle of Cape Town. Constantia is one of the loveliest areas in all South Africa. The guesthouse is simply superb. The hosts define gracious and welcoming, yet unobtrusive, hospitality. Treat yourself and stay here - it's the perfect place to land after the long flight from Europe or the USA. We will be back!
