The staff and the owners Carol & Jo could not do too much for you. From the constant tea, cake (and port for those inclined), the internet access, the comfy lounge, the great breakfast and general help nothing was too much. The location is great for Kloof street restaurants (Try Arnolds for a beer, Tonis for ethnic cuisine and Millers... more

We picked Derwent House because of other Trip Advisor reviews and we certainly weren't disappointed. Our room was lovely - with a fabulous view of Table Mountain. The service was superb and sitting poolside enjoying a delicious, freshly cooked breakfast was a great way to start the day....and in the late afternoon a chilled beer after a busy day was... more

We spent one week at Derwent and were very sad to leave; our trip was for leisure and Carol, Jo, and Vuyo took such good care of us! We enjoyed the lovely home, beautiful pool area and fantastic breakfast. Our bedroom had a great view of Table Mountain from the window, but the back balcony was nice and relaxing. Carol... more

We stayed here at the start of our holiday and loved the hotel. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, from booking taxis and restaurants to recommendations of vineyards in Stellenbosch and Franschoek. The hotel is beautifully furnished and has a very welcoming and relaxing feeling. The kitchen where you can make yourself a drink is very well stocked... more

Stayed for 11 nights in October. Service throughout our stay could not have been better. Carol, Jo and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We were provided with excellent advice on the area, excursions, restaurants etc and all staff were more than willing and capable of booking everything we wanted. The fabulous room was superb, with freestanding bath and... more

My wife and I came to Derwent house for 3 nights in October as part of our honeymoon. I'd never been to Cape Town before and was relying on the Tripadvisor feedback, and if I'm honest, was a little sceptical. However, to my great relief, this hotel absolutely lives up to its reputation! Lovely location, amazingly helpful staff and owners,... more

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Derwent House at the start of our Honeymoon and were not disappointed. We had chosen the Derwent purely from reviews on TripAdvisor and you can see why its rated so highly. After a 12 hour flight it was great to be welcomed by Carol and her team at 9am in the... more

We stayed in the apartment next to Derwent House proper as we were travelling with our 6-yr old and needed a bit more space. Prior to our arrival, Carol and Jo booked restaurants and made great suggestions for local places to eat as well - and we really appreciated their tips/local knowledge. The hotel is lovely: beautifully decorated, nice pool... more

Myself and my girlfriend (late 20's / early 30's) stayed here for 5 nights in October 2009 at the recommendation of our travel agent and we were not disappointed. Our room was exceptionally comfortable with a fantastic AC system (maybe this is standard in SA - no idea!) and was cleaned to perfection. Never actually seen the cleaning staff which... more
