Stayed over for a couple of days for the World Cup as it was quite close to the stadium. We booked 2 self catering apartments as we were 7 adults and weren't to concerned about having breakfast there. In the end I'm happy that we didn't book the B&B option as the breakfast area is in the same room as the small reception and it's really not the perfect setting for breakfast if you have all the wonderfull places you can go to in Cape Town. The breakfast/ reception area is also very cluttered and doesn't really look comfortable.
Reception is also a bit of a hassle as it's not always occupied and if you only want to drop you key or get quick info, you will have to wait or look for someone. But than again, it's a small place and you can't expect that someone sits at the reception the whole time. The setting of the guesthouse is ok, but you don't have any kind of view as it's surrounded by other big buildings. The main focus of the guesthouse sadly is the parking area, which is a pity as it's a big tarred area. Pool and outside area a bit small and uncared for. Parking is a bit of a hassle too, but you can easily park on the small roads outside. We didn't find it too much of a problem.
The self catering apartments are not on the same property and actually are flats that they've bought in nearby buildings.
The apartments have all you would need for self catering. The webpage however fools one a bit as the pictures are only of one of the apartments, which is the biggest and most modern. This apartment however is on the Greenpoint main road and it can get a bit noisy during the night as there's quite a bit of traffic. The bathroom at this apartment is in need of some renovation though as the ceiling is covered in mildew and that is something you would not expect for the price you are paying. They need to get this fixed and all would be 100%.
The other apartment we got is across the street of the 40 Winks Guesthouse. It's smaller than the other and the rooms are tiny. Here there are also only double beds as the space is very limited. Nothing wrong with it, just that you won't fit your luggage into the rooms and you need to unpack all into the cupboards.
The reason I will not recommend this property is because there are loads of better properties in Cape Town, which are also cheaper and with much better locations. Lived in and worked in Cape Town and surrounds for a few years and know what I'm talking about.
