Spent an extremely relaxing, enjoyable and memorable stay at Welgelegen. 6 nights in total, with a trip into the country in between. Fabulous location, excellent welcome and service, super rooms. Breakfast was a delight, the staff were accommodating, cheerful and seemed genuinely delighted to assist wherever they could with extra requests, recommendations for restaurants, day trips etc. Lovely relaxing courtyard,...

This guest house is well situated for visits to Table Mountain, V and A waterfront and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens -all just a short drive away.The staff are very helpful and rely on old- fashioned courtesy which complements the place's traditional ambience. Universal plugs in the room proved useful.There is a delightful pool in the sunny courtyard. Will definitely return. More

We had a wonderful time at Welgelegen. The minute we walked in, we were provided with first class service from each and every staff member. The rooms were immaculate, breakfasts so delicious. Cookies were so scrumptious that we could not stop snacking. The location could not be better. You can see the Table Mountain from this guesthouse. Anine, Sam, the... More

You don't get this level of service in a brand hotel. From start to finish every single member of staff will go out of their way to accommodate you. The location is perfect, the rooms lovely, the breakfasts wonderful. I'd go back again and again... More

Fantastic stay. Table Mountain from the balcony, so close we could almost touch it. Wonderful people, Fiona and her staff were very helpful and really made us welcome, booking our trips to the summit and to Robben Island, and pointing us to some really nice restaurants for our evening meals. Hope to return one day. More

We stayed at the Welgelegen for four nights as part of our honeymoon. It was a wonderful place to stay. It is located at near to Table Mountain, which can be seen from the breakfast room. We stayed in a superior room which was very spacious. As we were on honeymoon we had a gift of a bottle of port... More

We had a two night stay at the Welgelegen last week. The inn is a charming historical home which made me think of houses in Paddington Sydney or Savannah Georgia. The house is decorated in an eclectic but elegant way with each room different from the other. We had rooms 10 and 11 and we also had a look at... More

We stayed in the hotel in August 2011 during a round the world trip. We had a fantastic stay. The staff is really kind and the structure is run in a warm and familiar way. Located in a quit and residential part of Cape Town is well positioned for those who plan to visit the city and the neighborhood. We... More

This was such an unexpected delight. Fiona and her staff went out of their way to welcome us and to be sure that our every need was accounted for. A previous review called Welgelegen an oasis and that is a perfect description. Restful, clean, yummy breakfasts, and cocktail hour! We would definitely stay here again, and would again rely on...
