The Dragon Tree Guesthouse

A quiet, convenient location with a great view. The accommodation is clean, spacious and well decorated. The owner was so helpful our stay and also beforehand. Offered suggestions and advice on making the most of Kalk Bay and its attractions. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodation or a better time in Kalk Bay, spot on. Thank you very much for such an enjoyable stay.

We had to move our booking to January has had double booked which was great but I have heard nothing from the owner since our conversation on the phone before our trip. I'm unable to rate as a result. I even went to the property to see if I could have a conversation with the owner whilst in kalk bay

Beautiful, secure, location

Nothing

Awesome views and location, massive room and bathroom.. super clean and modern.

Nothing not to like at all... super place

great staff

Loved this place what a stunning view from the front window it’s brilliant you have the dragon tree and the sea view it’s great

Nothing

The location was spot on, just a short walk to the main road of Kalk Bay. The space of the unit was great and it was also wonderful to have a little splash pool to use. Jean was also very welcoming and made us feel at home.

I was expecting a little bit more of a kitchenette as the space was not good to cook your own meals. There was no washing up facility. I was also disappointed in the beach towels that were provided, small and well used. It’s always the small details that count!

Spotlessly clean with fabulous host who could not do enough.

Really well located only 5 minutes from the main road. Really sizable rooms with amazing views over the coastline. Jean was super friendly and allowed us to check-in early and gave many local recommendations.

Would have like a bit more comfortable seating around the pool.

Super locatie, ruime kamer en badkamer

The best view I've ever had from my bedroom!

I was unwell during my stay, and the steps were a bit of a challenge with luggage. Kalk Bay is full of steps and hills so if you are not 100% fit, get some help!

Gorgeous, well-appointed room! We loved everything about our stay. The hosts were kind and generous with excellent recommendations of restaurants. The room was quiet and peaceful and well-located to make most everything in Kalk Bay accessible by foot.

We loved everything! It would be good to know, however, that our suite was accessible by a gentle-sloping, gravel path. The host was reading available to help with our luggage which was greatly appreciated

There was no breakfast.

The steep path

From the moment we arrived, I knew this would be a special place to stay. Jean and Nicholas made us so welcome. A beautifully appointed room with glorious view over the ocean .

Absolutely nothing negative to say!

Location, close to coffees shops and restaurants, but on quiet street. Loved the decor and the pool, stunning view.

Das Appartement ist sehr schön und alles ist vorhanden was man braucht. Betreuung per WhatsApp ok aber nicht zu vergleichen mit einer persönlichen Betreuung.

Der Kieselweg zur Wohnung. Der Weg mit Kieselsteinen sieht nett aus macht aber den Aufstieg zur Wohnung sehr schwer. Es sollte einen geteerten Weg (oder gepflastert) geben.

Chambre spacieuse, confortable et super bien équipée. Surtout la salle de bain qui est sublime - et accès direct à la terrasse et la piscine, avec une vue magnifique sur la baie. La maison est à 3min à pied de tous les bars et restaurants de Kalk bay, nous avons adoré !

Grossräumiges Apartment und sehr nette Betreuung während unseres Aufenthalts

keine Beanstandungen

Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und sympathisch. Die Lage ist traumhaft und das Zimmer wunderbar. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir waren 3 Nächte in Kalk Bay und Jean unsere Gastgeberin hat uns gute Restauranttipps gegeben. Man braucht ca. 1 Minute bis zur Einkaufsstraße.

Es gibt eine kleine „Küchenzeile“, allerdings kein Geschirrtuch oder Spülmittel oder ähnliches, so dass man sein Teller o.ä. im Bad reinigen muss.

Clean…beautiful view….close to shops Lovely kitchen and bathroom as well as bedroom/living space. Beautiful well kept garden too. Lots of storage. Loved it

Nothing

There was no sink to wash up dirty plates and cutlery

Fantastic

Everything was beyond expected

This is a must to stay at, what a view!!!!

All was excellent....keep up the effort

Great location, lovely room

Beautiful place to stay in a great location with everything on your doorstep. Jean was a great host and could not have been more helpful 😊

A great location and lovely clean guest house with superb bathroom. The hosts could not have been more helpful with recommendations for restaurants and walks, all of which were first class.

The apartment is fantastic, offering stunning views of both the sea and the hills. Waking up to this scenery was a true pleasure. The apartment also includes a garage, keeping your car safe and conveniently on the same level for easy access. Jean, the host, was exceptionally kind, providing a baby cot and even arranging a stroller without us asking. Our stay was wonderful—highly recommended. Thank you for the great experience!

Great communication from Jean who went above and beyond to ensure a lovely stay . Very safe and secure location with gorgeous views to watch the sunrise . Spacious accommodation with everything you need to make light meals or a short walk to gorgeous shops cafes and restaurants. The garden is so cute and really enjoyed having a cup of tea watching the birds .

Just wished I could have stayed longer so sad to leave so soon 😱

Beautiful, large bedroom & bathroom with super view. Very helpful host

Pool looked a little cloudy

Beautiful rooms very tasteful furnishings. Lovely views and a perfect setting for relaxing outdoors after a busy day.

Nothing

Great location. Lovely host. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable. Great location. Great host. Highly recommend

Nice view of Kalk bay and lovely and close to the town so you can just walk in.

There were no blinds on the skylights. We were therefore woken very early each morning by the sun. I could not quite believe it. You can only only access the property through the garage using a special key. This didn’t cause too much problem for us. That means you can’t go out separately. The details on booking are confusing. We actually stayed in the top floor apartment which does not have access to the pool But it does have a parking space.

Generous size, facilities and the contemporary design of the accommodation helped to make this a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Can’t fault any aspect of the accommodation.

Not applicable, but we could make our own

Couldn't complain about anything

Everyone who has the possibility to visit beautiful Kalk Bay should stay in Jeans stunning Dragon Tree Guesthouse. We loved it!

Nothing

The location and view of Kalk Bay is fabulous! The property is well secured in a lovely neighborhood. The bed, bath and shower were outstanding. The kitchen facilities are limited; however, with all the great restaurants in Kalk Bay, who wants to cook. Jean was a wonderful host. She gave us direction as to what to do and where to eat in Kalk Bay. I would return to this property and recommend it to travelers in Kalk Bay.

There was nothing to dislike.

Great host. Great location. Modern clean and comfy. Awesome view.

The host was so very lovely Jean could not do enough for us. Felt very welcome and really enjoyed the decor modern clean and stylish. My Husband liked the bath so much he looked into where we can get one the the same for our house. Thank you for making part of our honeymoon so special

Sink to wash up in the kitchen area we had to wash up in the bathroom which was a little odd. This is the only thing we did not like though the rest was amazing

Amazing location - beautifully well kept property. felt very secure and very homely. Jean was an absolute delight - providing clear and detailed instructions for accessing the property, but what made it really special, was doing a hike with Jean around in the surrounding mountains - was a highlight of the trips. Jean also gave great advice on the best local restaurants

Nothing that I didn’t like - but just a couple of small remarks: It would have been a nice touch to have shampoo and conditioner (perhaps a luxurious local SA brand) the shower gel / soap was decanted into nice bottles - but you couldn’t see the brand - having shampoo. conditioner, shower gel and a hand wash from a good SA brand - would have been a great touch. Having a local guide to the area in the room of things to do and restaurants to eat at - would have also been a nice idea.

This gem has amazing, relaxing views. It is in easy walking distance of amazing restaurants, as well as a lovely cosy self-catering setup. We loved our stay.

Just a heads up on the sloped roof. If you are tall, just mind your head.

The location is perfect - 2min walk into the main area whilst also feeling very separate from the main street, and with nice views from the balcony of False Bay The rooms are lovely But the highlight by far is Jean - she is just so friendly, genuine and helpful. Couldn’t have made us feel more welcome and just had the best recommendations for nearby We stayed 4 nights there and LOVED it

Nothing

Very clean. Very friendly guesthouse hosts. Lovely bathroom, with roomy shower and bath. Quiet and peaceful area. Beautiful garden surrounding the unit. Lovely attention to detail inside the unit. Within walking distance to most Kalk Bay attractions. Amazing views of Kalk Bay and surrounding mountain area. Very secure and very private. Thanks Jean and Nick for the wonderful stay!

Nothing that comes to mind

The most beautiful location. Fantastic communication with Jean, who let us in and went above and beyond. Best place we have ever stayed at.

Loved the accommodation & where it is situated, beautiful view & central, so was able to walk everywhere. It was all we needed!!

Excellent location. Spacious area.

Very well equipped for self-catering (apart from a fitted kitchen zinc area)

The view The location

Perfect location to explore Kalkbaai. Beautiful view

Gorgeous view, very nicely decorated and friendly host

Hook for bathroom towel fell out, nothing major

The bed was very comfortabe, the best on our 5 weeks trip! Practical kitchen, good bathroom. Plenty of mountain water for drinking. We always found parking nearby on the street. We could borrow umbrellas. We were not affected by load shedding.

Little privacy as another room with glassdoor is just beside. The deck around the pool is very small for four persons. Not much to sit on outside for coffee.

Everything about the guest house was terrific - Jean was amazing from the outset and we were sad to say goodbye. The guesthouse is modern, clean, comfortable, incredibly well located. You can't go wrong with a stay here

Nothing. It was the perfect start to our SA trip and we can't wait to return

At the conclusion of our three-week journey in South Africa, we chose to stay here. In fact, we also started our trip with a stay here, and we were delighted to have booked it for the finale of our road trip. Jean, the host, is truly wonderful, welcoming us as if we were old friends. The space is tastefully decorated, and the view from the front window is breathtaking. The location is ideal, situated near the top of the roads in Kalk Bay. While it involves a few steps, the delectable food in Kalk Bay made the ascent more than worthwhile.

All was waonderful!

Wonderful location. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Super comfortable bed with ocean view. Parking was a bonus.

Fantastic apartment with spacious bedroom, very spacious bathroom with fantastic walk in shower even a kitchen. Very kind hosts. Surtenly a good reason to come back!

This place is amazing!,,, First off we were greeted so warmly and shown all we needed to know and then we were left to enjoy our privacy. The main widow overlooking false bay left us with hours of watching surfers do their things and the sounds of the surf at bed time was very soothing. The location was perfect….we could walk everywhere with ease. We are so glad that we booked this place for when we return from our road trip around South Africa …we are looking forward to three more days of bliss in this spectacular space.

There is nothing to complain about.

Jean was so incredibly welcoming and gave us so many great tips about Kalk Bay. The room as absolutely beautiful, so comfortable, and way bigger than I expected. The bed was super comfortable and the fan kept it nice and cool during the warm summer nights.

Nothing, I was so happy with the space.

Beautiful place in a stunning location of Kalk Bay. Jean was so friendly and hospitable with loads of tips on things to see/do around the area. Bed was super comfortable, bathrooms impeccable and had a fantastic stay here.

The owner was a legend and the location was prime. Super nice house!

Apartment very well furnished and nice view towards the sea. Jean has been truly kind and welcoming, every day checking-in with some local food and fresh milk. Higly recommended.

Jean was wonderful! Attentive to any needs. The room was beautiful and clean. The view is magnificent and the garden is lovely! I highly recommend it!

Nothing!

Jean was a great host and super helpful. The location and rooms were wonderful

For some people, the steep walk up with the stairs could be quite challenging, especially with a suitcase

Fantastic view over the sea, perfect location (in the Center of Kalk Bay), incredible apartment and a very friendly and helpful host (Jean you are great 👍)

Nop

the pods for the coffee machine is a kind that does not match the machine and does not work. would have been nice to have proper coffee in the morning with correct pods.

Dragon Tree is one of the best accommodations in Kalk Bay! Everything about the space is magical: crisp bedsheets, a private kitchenette, and a lovely shower. Loved the furniture finishes !

I was naturally reluctant to book this guesthouse as it had no reviews on booking.com due to being so new to the market, so I decided to phone to find out if I could take a look first. Jean answered the phone and said she would put the kettle on for when I arrived. I already had a good feeling about this. What I wasn’t expecting was the brand new, gargantuan and beautifully appointed room/suite that awaited, with a comfortable bed and all the self catering facilities you might need. There was also a spectacular and enormous Dragon tree outside the bedroom window which was a joy to wake up to! It was a snip at £75 a night, and I felt very lucky that there was availability for the nights that I needed. What a gem, and by far the best guesthouse I’ve ever stayed in - I could’ve happily moved in! Jean was super friendly and the perfect hostess, and could not have done more to make me feel welcome and comfortable. She was available on WhatsApp for any questions, and responded very quickly. If I was forced to make a negative comment it would be for there to be a socket close to a mirror so I could dry my hair, however after mentioning this to Jean, she soon rectified it. That is next level service right there! I cannot recommend Dragon tree guesthouse highly enough. Thank you again Jean x
