“It doesn't really get any better than this...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

If you've ever been slightly afraid of straying into the vortex of 'Guest Houses', this is one that that will make you simply wish to stay forever and never return to a faceless hotel (even if it is 5 star!). Think of how you would like your own home to be, perched on the hillside below Table Mountain with the whole of Cape Town at your feet, but decorated with a contemporary feel and life's little luxuries to keep you feeling cosetted. Dominic and Allan have created this, a totally unique boutique B&B, and they themselves are not only genuinely welcoming, but great fun to boot! Allan's breakfast will put many great chefs to shame and the duo's determination of ensuring your stay is as great as it can be, whether providing restaurant bookings, advice on day trips, or simply reminding you it is ok to lounge by the pool and read as you're on holiday, nothing is too much trouble. We don't massively want to share our view with anyone in fear of them being so booked up we might never be able to get a room again, but some secrets are too good to keep to yourself!
One word of warning though, if you are planning on travelling around whilst in South Africa, make this your last stop. We started our most recent trip here and everywhere else was inferior by comparision: so we ended up cutting short our stay and returning to the beloved TwentyTwo...best decision of the trip!
Bravo Chaps!!

“A Complete Slice Of Heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

I stayed at twentytwo for the first time last week and I can definitely say it will be the first of many trips to this guest house!
Dominic and Allan are the perfect hosts and have created a beautiful, thoughtful and incredibly welcoming home for their guests.
I travel frequently for work and therefore pick up on small details that can make or break the experience and I can honestly say- they have thought of EVERYTHING! Even down to making sure all plug sockets already have international adaptors, the high end products in the indulgent bathrooms and the great selection of the finest South African wine!
The rooms and communal areas are classy, modern, comfortable and beautifully decorated with spectacular views from the balconies of the magnificent natural beauty of Cape Town.
The garden and pool are wonderful (the outside shower is great!).
After about 30 seconds, I felt like Dom and Allan are old friends- so much fun to be with and they also give the best recommendations for eating out and sightseeing!
I cannot wait for my next trip to twentytwo! I stayed in Room 2 and 3 and both are sensational in their own unique way.
Thank you Dom and Allan, you made the trip unforgettable!

Room Tip: Room 3 is large and luxurious with a large balcony overlooking the city and the sea. Room 2 has cor...

“Amazing B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

I've never enjoyed a stay at a B&B more. The view was gorgeous. The room was cozy. The details throughout the room and the B&B were all so spot on. From having breakfast outside, to New Year's cocktails by the pool to the interior design. But really, the owners make this place what it is. Just incredibly thoughtful and kind.

Room Tip: Can't say anything about the other rooms but the room from # 2 was so incredibly beautiful--it f...

“Super”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Very tastefull design house, rooms and garden with all the comforts one could wish for. But the main reason for a fantastic stay is the hospitality of the owners. And their sense of humour. Definitely a place to return to.

“I want to go back to Twentytwo in Cape Town NOW! :-)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

In September 2010 I stayed in Twentytwo for 3 nights. With my most recent trip to South Africa I wanted to book New Years Eve and the first of January, but - of course - they were fully booked. Instead of skipping their location we changed our itinerary of the trip and ended with a 2 night stay in Twentytwo with Dominic and Allan as the perfect hosts! And it was the best ending of our beautiful trip. Those guys know exactly what the word hostmanship means! They invented it I guess. From opening the gate on our arrival - it was like coming home and so very very good to see them again. It's not one thing in particular but it's everything: location, design of the interior, those guys, the 2 girls who help them, their advise in restaurants, etc. But most of it: the fun they have in running a beautiful guesthouse in one of the best cities of the world. Counting down the days and weeks to go back soon again. Within 1,5 years this time.... There was too much time in between September 2010 and this trip. If you ever go to Cape Town, please book their guesthouse, it's a stay to remember!!!!
