South Africa – Derwent House, Cape Town

Before we arrived I was already impressed with Derwent House, as the email contact I had with Carol, one of the proprietors, in relation to our booking had been efficient, friendly and very helpful.
We arrived to a friendly welcome and were shown around the stunning property. Our bedroom was lovely, fresh, clean and stylish. We had a terrace with a fabulous view to Table Mountain. The living room areas are gorgeous, the guest kitchen/honesty bar facility lovely – great idea! – and stunning pool area.
During our stay all staff were lovely, helpful and friendly.
Our only niggle would be that the noise travelled up the stair – we were in room 1 which is on the first floor above the reception/lounge areas and with the open plan layout noise travelled up, meaning we heard someone depart very early one morning and you could hear people coming back late in the evening, but it was not enough to really spoil our visit.
Good location, near cool Kloof street which is full of shops, bars, restaurants.
Carol and Jo have a passion for the city so have great knowledge and suggestions of where to go and what to do and are more than happy spending time helping you with your plans.
