The Sir David Boutique Guest House

Can’t praise this place enough . Modern, bright , spotlessly clean, comfortable, and so close to the beach. The staff were welcoming, accommodating and served an excellent breakfast. Very convenient for Big Bay Parkrun

Nothing, it was very special

This guest house was absolutely exceptional in all aspects

Loved the Location, exceptionally clean, beautiful decor and very comfortable, loved my view of the sea and staff went out of their way to help you

The availability of the persons and the menu of the breakfast.

Always a lovely stay! Home away from home!

My fav guesthouse in the Cape Town area

Nothing

Everything- it was small, friendly and very personal

It would be nicer to make it non smoking on the terrace at breakfast time

Perfect verblijf. Zeer vriendelijke medewerkers . Mooi uitzicht op het strand en ondergaande zon .

Marianne est très agréable Il y a la piscine la mer à deux pas Un petit déjeuner extraordinaire Un personnel vraiment sympathique Je reviendrais avec plaisir

Rien

Nothing to dislike the hotel is a gem! great staff in a great area will be making a return trip soon 💋

Going home!!!

Fantastic staff - immaculately clean - great location

Nothing

great service

Tolles kleines Gasthaus / Hotel am Bloubergstrand. Wir hatten 2 Zimmer (2&5) und beide Zimmer waren sehr komfortabel und sauber. Der Meerblick ist toll. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und sehr bemüht. Das Frühstück bot eine Menge Optionen. Leider (wie fast immer ) kein „ordentliches“ Brot, sondern den üblichen Toast.

Nichts

Safety, Friendly staff, excellent location.

That there was no iron and board in the room.

Die Lage ist top. Das Frühstück war lecker und genug. Es ist eine gute Auswahl vorhanden. Das Toast ist leider nur ein Magenfüller, der bei mir für heftige Blähungen sorgte. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn man da zu hochwertigeren Brot greift, gibt ja genug Auswahl. Der Service war, wie überall in Südafrika, aussergewöhnlich gut. Alle Mitarbeiter, wie auch die Chefin waren super freundlich. Die Zimmer super sauber. Das Bett war sehr bequem.

Very quiet area, very clean property, friendly staff from reception to kitchen and house keeping.

There is nothing I didn’t like about the property

This was our 3rd stay at Sir David Boutique Guest House and we will stay nowhere else in Cape Town. The staff makes your stay here wonderful. Normally we book a seafront room but unfortunately the only room that was available was room 3 which has a lovely garden view but the room is smaller than the other rooms and the tv is also much smaller.

Nothing

Nearly everything Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean Guest House. The ‘waiting on ‘ staff at breakfast were lovely, helpful & kind!

There was no Welcome Folder in the room . No emergency telephone numbers e.g. Doctors, Ambulance, Fire Service etc. No recommendations for Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Eateries etc. No information about the area, beaches , things to do etc. No information about the Guest House / who to call at night regarding an emergency!! I really think this is a ‘must’ for us foreign travellers !! Please re-think your policy regarding this, especially Emergency Telephone Numbers.

Proximity to the beach, as well as shops. The hotel is immaculate - we loved it.

The location is great and there are restaurants nearby.

The breakfast was amazing - there was so much food to choose from. The rooms are compact but comfortable. Very clean establishment with very friendly staff. Great location overlooking the sea from some rooms. Offroad parking is a bonus.

The TV remote was missing.

Great location, with a beautiful view, friendly staff who provided great food and friendly service. Pool table and bar for the evening.

It was all good

Excellent location in Bloubergstrand next to the beach. Lovely room and bathroom. The guesthouse also has a lovely lounge area upstairs and downstairs where the restaurant are is. Very comfortable stay - thank you.

Lovely views from the breakfast & lounge area. Peaceful, very close to the beach & within walking distance from all amenities. Very clean & tidy.

We asked for a sea view unit a month in advance. We weee then told a day before that kids were not allowed in the sea view units. There was no fine print that mentioned this. We had other options at the time of booking and we feel they deliberately left it to the last minute to tell us no kids allowed in sea view units, yet we paid the same amount. Very disappointing because being notified a day before our booking we could not cancel without a penalty.

Everything! From A-Z helpfull with the best atmosphere! Simply the best!

Feels like home!

Fantastic Boutique Guest House

Well located and very quiet

Nothing , all great

Really good location… close to beach and a very good cafe and restaurant. We had a great room for the 1st 2 nights……lower floor which had a patio straight out onto pool…very good size with a queen bed and and a further single bed. We then had to move to a sea facing room ( Booking.com error apparently) which was a whole lot smaller with no bath and the wind could be heard much more …..I would recommend a room facing pool if you don’t want to hear the wind! Restaurant staff were lovely!

Having to move and the second room was very small.

Beautifully kept and comfortable too. Spacious bedroom with terrace and a few steps from the pool which was quiet. We had a aircon & a fridge in the bedroom too. There was an honesty bar with wine, beer, soft drinks and a few crisps and chocolate snacks at sensible prices.

Nothing

Great location. Large, comfortable room and bed. Lovely bathroom.

Unfortunately there wasn’t a staff member there on arrival to let us into the property, although it was the agreed check in time

Very good breakfast, enjoyed while having a beautiful seaview

Very nice property and great location.

Very nice little boutique hotel and very quiet. Nice view of the sea. Very friendly and accommodating. My room facing the garden with direct access to the pool.

It's a shame that the fridge is next to the bed. Sometimes annoying.

We loved everything. Having traveled over the world, this has been one of the best, homely feeling have had. The manager was amazing, responsive and caring to our needs. And the staff friendly and you can see they love what they do. We asked for almond milk, and the next day they had it for us. This is just one example. If I had an option, I would rate it 12. Definitely our new spot when in CT.

We loved everything!

Absolutely gem of a spot and cannot wait to return

Nothing

Beautiful, clean and ideally positioned

Excellent. Hotel quality accommodation. Breakfast was very good indeed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again if I was in the area.

It is perfectly situated close to the beach, cafes, restaurants and a strip mall. Watching the sunsets from the first floor lounge are magical! Mable the cook and caretaker of the property is a gem! Mable is kind, considerate and friendly, she goes out of her way to make your stay special. The bathrooms in the room are big and the water pressure in the shower is great! The honesty bar is well stocked.

The carpet in the bedroom.

The Sir David is in a lovely location very close to the beach in Bloubergstrand. My sea facing room had a lovely balcony with chairs to sit on which was very pleasant in the evening and early morning. My room was very clean and well appointed as was the whole guesthouse. Breakfast was plentiful but the bread rolls on my first morning were old and doughy and the croissant on the second morning presented in a cellophane packet was cold and inedible it really should have been warmed up and crisped in the oven. I did not have the cooked breakfast option so cannot comment. All in all my two nights at the Sir David were pleasant.

On arrival I waited outside for about ten minutes ringing the front door bell with no response but thankfully as I was about to leave a guest arrived who let me in and only then did a staff member come through from the back saying she had not heard the bell but had seen me on the camera???? On my first morning at breakfast a lady came up to me and asked in a very abrupt and unfriendly manner "how did you sleep" I was a bit taken aback as there was no introduction but found out later that she was the manager or owner. I found the guest house to be very unfriendly with little interaction from the manager/owner and got the distinct impression "don't bother me". Unfortunately the occupants of the two rooms on either side of me were smokers so the smoke emanating from their balconies, where they may or may not have been permitted to smoke, was a problem in the evenings and mornings not only on my balcony but also inside my room if the window or door was open. No emergency contact information was provided in my room nor upon check and there was no one to be found in then guest house after 6pm other than other guests which as a sole traveller was of concern.

Everything:-) All was absolute stunning

It is like coming home, if 11 points would be possible, this was a 12

location was great and hist was friendly

Would have preferred sea view but that can be next time

Rooms were nice and views were amazing. Breakfast was also very tasty

Seaview and surroundings

Great location. Beautiful view

Breakfast was okay

Everything about this place was just exceptional, the views, the staff, the beds, the dinner areas, Everything is just a 10 out of 10

There is nothing I did not like

Mable was an incredible host, super friendly and welcoming

Well situated near shops and on the beach

Beautiful property and very well maintained

Its like coming home. Comfortable, clean , calm environment.

Everything.

Nothing.

The location, beautiful rooms and very comfortable beds. The staff, Mabel was very friendly and the breakfast and coffee were delicious.

Nohing

Everything was great but...

...access to the sea blocked off by civil engineering works. I feel this should be pointed out at time of booking.

The hotel is a real boutique of style and comfort. Our welcome and hospitality were outstanding. Mabel could not do enough for us. The sea view room no.5 was dreamy, with a lovely balcony. Wake up to hear and see the waves. Just a very short walk to good restaurants and the surf club. Breakfast was delicious. Hopefully we will return again soon.

Cannot think of anything

Great location and tasteful accommodation

Door being locked after 10pm which made it hard to exit without getting assistance from the night manager

Ideal location

N/a

The facilities were top-notch. The entire experience was phenomenal. I travel regularly and stay in a lot of different places and it's important for me to be comfortable where I stay. The breakfast we had before departing was absolutely amazing. Well done to all of the staff.

As I am quite tall, the bed was short. It would be nice to have an option of an extra length bed.

Excellent property, location, and views.

Great breakfast. Just really enjoyed the overall experience
