Morningside Cottage

The location

We traveled in winter and the place was freezing cold. The hostesses could not be bothered to introduce herself. At 9.20 am could not get breakfast although paid for it. The so called chef arrogantly told us that we are too late for breakfast ( although advertised until 9.30 am). The electric heater brought in was too bright and kept us awake all night.

Logement très propre dans un quartier sécurisé à une dizaine de kms de Cape Town centre, petit déjeuner excellent et varié, personnel sympathique et accueillant, très bonne literie.

La douche était difficile à régler et la tv ne marchait pas.

Everything you need! Beautiful place! Safe parking. Super quiet neighbourhood, best bed and pillow ever🙏🤣, sparkling clean place, wonderful breakfast. Will most definitely book there again when in Cape Town again. Thank you!

Close to Embassy

The breakfast was very good with an excellent choice. Every thing about the stay was very good. Our room opening out on to a private courtyard was an added bonus.

Great Location, secure, friendly staff, clean and neat

The property look nice from the outside but when I checked the bathroom it was dirty and lots of mold

It looks safe and nice but on the 4th day 2 black robbers came into my room took money, of over 3 thousand dollars and South Africa money,purse,backpack phones one old and a new S25 lots of things that was in my purse,driver’s license,passport was in my backpack etc I was on my bed face time my sister she almost had a heart attack etc I had no dollars but luckily I had South Africa money still a week later they caught the guys but I couldn’t make a case and they said the receptionist we both got tide up she didn’t want to press chargers well I am just starting to recovering from this trauma. Please be careful in South Africa when visiting. The breakfast was delicious

Quiet

Everything was good

The owner/hostess is kind, warm, attentive and generous. Chef/ Caretaker/ Manager Frank is exceedingly warm and generous. He makes an excellent breakfast. The availability of fruit bowl 24/7. The place felt like a home as I was working from my room. Bless them. May they be blessed abundantly.

The location was good. The breakfast was average

The room was not properly cleaned. The few days I was there, they didn't bother to fill the hand cleaner bottle. I had expired milk in my room. There also not enough plug points in the room. They definitely need to do something about those pillows. The photos attached herewith is what was underneath the bed.

All was good. Staff great

Beautiful guesthouse and the pool was great after a hot run! Breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff upon a late arrival :-)

Honesty bar - wine per glass. The wine was warm and must have been standing for days. Check open wines and remove after 2 days.

Ruhig gelegen, Gepflegte ( ältere ) Anlage. Sehr freundliches Personal. Wir hatten ein geräumiges Zimmer mit großem Bad und Zugang zu einem privaten Freisitz. Motorrad sicher im Anwesen abzustellen. Kleiner Pool zum Verschnaufen. Frühstück prima. Gutes Lokal ( Brasserie ) fussläufig, weitere sehr empfehlenswerte ( Uitsig ) schnell per Uber erreichbar. Schnell am Chapmans Peak und zur Kap Halbinsel.

Ausstattung nicht mehr ganz neu.

Schöne Lage, gutes Frühstück,

Secure, easy access and convenient location

The facilities are very limited. Small indoor lounge area with few seats - it was raining so outdoor facilities couldn’t be used, no tea and coffee facilities available when we arrived. There was a leak in the ceiling above our bed so rainwater dripped on the bed.

Comfortable stay and conveniently close to US Consulate. Warm and friendly staff. Thank you

Hosts are very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. Garden and pool area is stunning.

Prima voor een paar nachten!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Morningside Cottage. The staff were absolutely incredible. I arrived on a late flight into Cape Town International Airport, and I only got to the property at around midnight. Simphiwe, one of the ladies who lives on the property, was there to greet me and opened up the security gate when I buzzed. I was delighted to be able to park my rental vehicle in the secure parking on the property, which was a few steps away from my room. The room itself was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. A spacious room with a comfortable, king sized bed, and two chairs. A large ensuite bathroom with a shower. There was a safe in the hanging cupboard. There were coffee and tea facilities on the small desk under the mirror. There was also a fan on another desk under the wall-mounted TV. Heading out of my room, there was a large patio next door, alongside an immaculate pool. Some tables and chairs were set up for al fresco breakfasts. Inside the large communal area of the property was the breakfast buffet area with more tables, a little lounge area with a lending library bookshelf, a kitchen, and the reception desk. There was also a little honesty bar with snacks, crisps, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Guests are welcome to take what they need, mark down their purchases in the honesty book and then settle up later. The breakfasts were fantastic. Frank cooked my full English breakfast perfectly and it was a great way to start each day. There were also cereals, fruit and yoghurt, preserves, orange juice and a coffee and tea maker on the breakfast buffet. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with every aspect of my stay at Morningside Cottage. I had a comfortable night's sleep every night of my stay and I awoke refreshed and ready for the day.

There was nothing I didn't like. Everything was perfect!

It’s perfect to relax, very familiar, the service is amazing, very friendly and kind

It’s calm, great breakfast, amazing service

Oh it was such a quaint place, gorgeous gardens, friendly staff, easy check in, easy to find & safe. Close to the beaches where I needed to be & there is a convenient store & other stores close by. Definitely will book again.

That I was there on business. Would have loved to stay longer & be there for leisure. The pool looked amazing!

Excellent emplacement et tès accueillant.

Les chambres ne sont vraiment pas les mêmes pour le même prix.

Great property, lovely pool, friendly staff, nice breakfast, honest bar, easy access, good location, parking. Honestly can’t find a fault! Was very happy with our few days there thank you

Nothing to add

This is a fabulous place run by the most lovely people. Nushka was kind and welcoming and accommodated our vegan requests. Frank is a wonderful cook who made a variety of lovely breakfasts for us. The place is spotless, it feels fresh, it's lovely to sit outside beside the pool each morning. I extended our stay here as it was so lovely, we will return.

Nothing

De rust, fijn groot bed, alle faciliteiten op kamer aanwezig, simpel maar goed ontmoet met voorkeur voor Francki special, vriendelijk personnel, mooi zwembad.

Tranquil retreat over the Christmas week. Room was functional and clean. Communal area is nice and peaceful with pool and lounge area.

Nothing not to like.

All round- FABULOUS

Nothing

Very good.

Great place in Tokai, comfortable and clean. Very friendly staff. Have stayed there a few times now and will do so again. Very quiet and secure location.

We enjoyed our stay at Morningside cottage. The location is great. Staff was friendly, the units had lovely patios, and the breakfast was excellent.

No aircon.

Great location in a quiet suburb. the room was a good size with ensuite and the bedding was of a high standard From the moment we arrived to to when we left after 5 days the staff were excellent especially Nushka and Terri. Breakfast was excellent and certainly set us up for the day ahead. When in Cape Town would definately go back again.

Nothing to report

Well appointed room and a pleasant breakfast - nothing was too much trouble for the charming staff.

Good location and nice and quiet

It could have been cleaner

great experience overall

nothing

Very nice bed and breakfast, cosy room, tastefully furnished, bed was very comfortable, quiet neighbourhood!

The only complaint, and this is really minor, the venetian blinds needed dusting! The window had been open so this probably contributed, so a minor thing!

Tasty breakfast friendly and helpful staff member that went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. Day time staff member was informative, friendly and helped me by always been 1 step ahead. She was also genuinely friendly I felt like I was dealing with US a grade customer service in Florida. So refreshing to have that here.

I had a great stay at the guest house—everything was as expected and met my needs comfortably. The room was clean, the service was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. The only downside was the breakfast, which was quite basic and could be improved with a bit more variety or quality. That said, it didn’t take away much from an otherwise pleasant experience. I’d definitely consider staying here again.

Very nice an comfortable room with all the extras one would expect from a 4* establishment. Good size shower, plenty of hot water, very comfortable bed. We stayed there for the 2nd time now and will go back there. Very safe and quiet neighbourhood. They even put on the heater before we arrived, which make a difference to arriving in an ice-cold room.

The bread options at breakfast were a bit limited. Only toast (white and brown), no sourdough or health bread.

The location and the adequate size of the bedroom and spacious bathroom. The breakfast was also very good.

The room and bathroom hat slapstick tiles that were vey cold. With minimum carpeting this made the room cold. It was warm enough in bed but a second heater would have helped. Tea and coffee available but no cups.

Shower drain was blocked. Bath did not have a plug. Soap dispenser in shower not releasing any soap. No top sheet on bed.

The room was fantastic and super comforable. Matress was really my type and the bathroom had everything I needed in a very nice decor style. The breakfast was wonderful as well. Shame I couldn't enjoy it even more.

This guesthouse is very nice. Room was good with a very spacious bathroom. We had a private terrace. The owner (Terri) was very helpful. Cleaning was good and at breakfast you have a lot of choice. Frankie took good care of our breakfast and was always in a very good mood. We will certainly come back next year!

Attention to detail and the new choice of breakfasts

Nothing

It was amazing. My second time and it gets better and better. Teri is an amazing host...just perfect

Frances allowed me to enter the premises around 4am, after I made the drive from Port Elizabeth. She looked after me and accommodated me during a very stressful time. She allowed me to sleep a few extra hours before making the trip back the next day. Great breakfast. Clean room, everything was great. Just pointing out the immense kindness from Frances. Thank you!

Surrounding clean.

They didn't change our towels,instead they hanged previously used towels on the bathroom door...very disappointing that we used same towels for the duration of our stay and only had one toilet roll althrough...and no aircon.

I had a lovely 2 night stay over Christmas to be close to the children. The place was lovely and peaceful. Nice and clean and very secure too. Will definitely be back for another visit.

I greatly enjoyed my stay: comfortable, stylish, quiet. Nice little private garden, tasty breakfasts, large and well-appointed bathroom. Good selection of books, too, and a pleasant swimming pool area.
