My husband and I made our first trip to Cape Town at the beginning of April. We had the pleasure of staying at the Compass House. We typically like staying at boutique hotels so my husband's choice came as no surprise to me, but I was surprised by how nice Compass House was. From the time we arrived, we were... More

It was our second stay here and it was great as usual. There is simply no words to describe the service and the great people working there. We have been traveling around the world many times and been staying in 5 * american brand hotels and to be honest, it is the first time we felt like at home. The... More

Everything about Compass House was great! I can not seem to find faults about this place. The atmosphere of the house was the most pleasant and peaceful I have ever experienced on a vacation, I had the beautiful early morning view with the subtle sound of the waves from my room and if that was not enough, I could switch...

What a great holiday! Compass House is definitely a must if you're visiting Cape Town. Living in a landlocked area, it was an idealic seaside escape. I made my booking telephonically, so I'm always apprehensive about getting what I paid for but as this was recommended as one of the best places to stay in Cape Town by TripAdvisor, I... More

After a long safari in the North of SA, I was looking for a quiet and relaxing place without any noisy children and certainly no loud cheese burger tourists. What happiness to have found this place facing the sea with a dream pool. In this location, all guests enjoy a sumptuous framework, serene and calm environment. The staff is incredibly... More

We had a lovely stay at the end of February in this beautiful Boutique guesthouse. Rooms and lounge area beautiful furnished, Pool is perfect, honesty bar is great and the breakfast extensive. It's a lovely place and we will definitely return. Thank to Oliver and Rudolph for taking care of us ! Jarno & Aukje, Franschhoek

The bed and breakfast is located in a beautiful villa, but no matter how beautiful it may be, the experience is reduced to an unpleasant one when you feel you are 'squatting' in someone's home. If felt as though the house manager, Ruldolf, was never more than a few feet away from where ever we were in the villa, which... More

My wife and I have not long returned from our first visit to the Cape and look back on Compass House as one of the best places we stayed. We spent the first three nights of our holiday there and we couldn't have picked a better place to start with. We received a warm welcome from Rudolph the Manager who... More

Compass House has an amazing location and great view from a lovely pool area. The room we stayed in for 3 days was comfortable and well equipped although the supposed state of the art entertainment system didn't work. Nice continental style breakfast served each morning and good tips from staff about where to eat in Bantry Bay. Quite a long... More
