Nice stay in great location

Our stay was nice - the facilities were updated and clean and the staff was friendly. The location was great and walking distance to a lot of things and felt fairly safe. The roof deck was nice and had a great view. Overall it was a nice stay and would recommend.

A Waterkant Welcome

This guest house was first class, exceptionally clean and so much better than a large and impersonal hotel. It was in an ideal location within Cape Town (de Waterkant area) which is regularly patrolled by security guards. The room was accessed off the street but security to it was excellent. The staff very competent, friendly, helpful and professional at all times. Their service could not have been bettered: breakfasts superbly hand crafted and the extras (availability of drinks etc) very welcomed. The guest house has a roof area (partly shaded) with a small pool and plenty of comfortable seating. The views were extensive over the city, False Bay and Table Mountain. One criticism of our room (Jules Verne Room) was the lack of clothes wall hanging/storage space and suitcase stands. We had hoped to fully unpack the cases during our five day stay but couldn't ever really achieve that.

Stellar!!

Peter and Willy have an absolutely wonderful venue, located in a very scenic and secure area of Cape Town, and are terrific hosts. We stayed in a "cottage", which is a 4-level 2 BR apartment (kitchenette in the basement, LR, BR1, BR2). The staff at Cape Finest are incredibly personable and look after any needs you might have (special shout out to Chantal who was such an angel); the breakfast in the main house is outstanding. I experienced some serious baggage misfortune with my airline and Willy went above and beyond to help me out with trying to resolve the issue. The venue has lots of shops and restaurants nearby and is an easy 10-15" walk to the conference centre. The SkyView is very nearby and an excellent location to view the city/mountain at sundown; very short cab ride up to Lion's head/Table mountain. The cost was very reasonable (we were there in off-season - May) - can't imagine better accommodations for our time in Cape Town. Only comment I'd have is the steps up to the BRs in the cottage are a bit tricky and have a low ceiling, so use cautiously especially if you're older (like me).

Fine Guesthouse indeed!

Cape Finest Guesthouse is not the cheapest place, but it fully met expectations. Modern interiour, great service, very nice roof terrace and convenient location. The room was more on the small side but had a good layout. Happy to stay there again.

Had a great stay at Cape finest guesthouse. The staff were all very friendly and helpfyl and the rooftop terrace was beautiful. Only had issues with the room being on street level which made it a bit noisy and gave a "basement" feeling and the floor didn't look clean, and the bathroom wasn't very private... But otherwise very comfortable and would recommend anyone to stay there, but to maybe ask for a room on a higher floor :)

Lovely Cape Town base.

Lovely friendly guest house with excellent breakfast. Great roof terrace with amazing views over Table mountain. Nice safe area with good security in place. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The only downside is lack of furniture in the room. We stayed six nights and only a few small shelves for clothes etc. No wardrobe or drawers although there is room for them. It's minimalist and trendy design is lovely but not practical for longer stays.
