“Superlative”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

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, super pool and loungers, and a laid back ambience throughout. A strong recommendation for anyone looking to have a central base from which to explore CT whilst also having a first class, welcoming retreat to kick back in when required.

Room Tip: We had room 7 - would suit a family of 4 - and then room 10 which, whilst a little smaller, had a fa...

“A good welcome to Cape Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

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.

“Welgelegen -Just like home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

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 kitchen staff all made us feel so comfortable. This became like home and we cannot wait to go back...

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...

“4 day stay in Cape Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

person found this review helpful

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.

Room Tip: Try ro get a room that has a balcony overlooking the mountain.
