    The breakfast outside was delightful! It was gorgeous. The house was so classy, and the rooms were spacious, inviting, and felt like a true vacation.

    Beautiful and peaceful haven in Cape Town, very well located to explore the town and surroundings by car. The room, the pool and the garden are immaculately kept and offer a relaxing retreat for moments and days you want to take it easy. Breakfast...

Yves & Valerie
Our Boutique Hotel is a beautiful Victorian mansion, originally built in 1896 and fully renovated in 2020, a proper Gem!.. Each bedroom shows elegance and style and is decorated after a gemstone color tone. The accommodation varies between luxury double bedrooms, family suites or even a loft (honeymoon suite) built on the second floor under the roof ceiling. The perfect getaway for a romantic stay!
Valérie & Yves are the sole owners of the Boutique Hotel since 2010. Ever since then, together with their team, they've worked hard, providing consistent high standard services which led to the awarding of a fourth star in 2012. Last September, after major upgrades, the establishment has been accredited as a four star Boutique Hotel. They enjoy sharing their beautiful home with guests and sharing their love for Cape Town nature and activities.
The Boutique Hotel is ideally positioned in a quiet and leafy area and just 15 min away from the airport or 10 min from the city center. The Baxter Theater and the UCT ( university of Cape Town) are within walking distance. We are on the slopes of Devil's Peak ( Table Mountain national park ), and one can enjoy magnificent walks from the guest house. Before you know, you've even end up within Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden!... Winelands are a mere 30 min drive and beaches 10 min.
