We loved the hip urban, but very relaxed feel of Bickley House. The white historic house, combined with fresh blue and green colours suits this place walking distance to the boulevard. Its one of the few Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa certified hotels as well. Which might be the is the cause for the friendly athmosphere both by the... More

I feel at home at Bickley House. Private parking, swimmingpool (yes, a private pool in Sea Point!), classy rooms, laid back atmosphere and very very very helpfull staff. Can't ask for more. I simply love it.

Bickley House was the first stop to our trip in South Africa and definitely set the bar high in terms of hospitality. Derek and his team made us feel right at home and quickly helped us find our bearings, offer us recommendations and went above and beyond so as to ensure our trip whilst staying at the hotel and thereafter...

This is a excellent place to stay in CapeTown. I had my sister over from the UK and she had never been to Capetown so Bickley House was ideal. Its close to the water front and the city. We found it clean, friendly, quiet and the staff were always there to offer advise on where to eat and what to... More

Look no further for the perfect guest house in Cape Town. From my initial email until my melancholy departure at having to leave, the Bickley House experience was second to none. Derek & Joy took care of myself, my mother & my good friends' needs from the airport transfer & early check in after 30 hours of traveling to the... More

It is a tranquil place with very welcoming staff that are keen on making sure you are having a good time. Breakfast is excellent and our room was spacious and... More

super quiet little place a few blocks from the ocean. Rooms (& entire hotel) are clean, beautiful simple interior with honest and robust materials. Absolutely amazing and relaxing pool. Private parking. Our room had an open bedroom/bathroom floor plans which meant there was no door to the toilet... very interesting...or something. Breakfast which was very nice and healthy could be... More

We stayed at Bickley House during 4 days. The place is beautiful and quite..just the right place for a relaxing vacation! The staff is friendly and helpful and has good knowledge about things to see and do. An excellent Scandinavian breakfast buffé is served every morning - we were not hungry until late in the afternoons. Walking distance to Waterfront... More
