Sehr schönes Haus, sehr zuvorkommendes Personal und tolle Aussicht von der Außenpool Terrasse!
Lage einerseits top direkt am Tafelberg, sogar mit einer Hintertür direkt in den Nationalpark. Andererseits hinsichtlich Supermarkt oder Restaurants etwas abgelegen, da hilft nur nur das gut verfügbare und günstige Uber Netz!
Sehr schönes Guesthouse, toller Pool, zuvorkommendes Personal
Weg zum nächsten Restaurant oder Supermarkt nur für Langsteckenwanderer oder mit uber.
Beautiful place with an amazing view and staff was marvelous
Loved everything
Toffe mensen, super locatie
Je hoort wel alles van in de andere kamer
the Panorama Guest house was spot on Position wise as we wanted the Forest walk to Kisrtenbosh Gardens.. the forest walk was lovely and the gardens were amazing.. the GH was a tiny bit Tired but the Staff were amazing.. Little bit to far out of town for trips into town but was Ideal for us..Like i mentioned..
Little bit tired over all but the staff made up for it, Oh and the Puppy door was so cute.
Great location -nestled in the leafy suburb next Kirstenbosch, very helpful staff.
Suburb
It’s old, dirty and poorly maintained. Management is absent; staff is completely untrained and unprofessional.
The location of the guesthouse is spectacular! A beautiful, panoramic view over the city bowl and direct access from the property to the hiking trails behind the home. The staff very kindly moved us to another, cooler room, on request.
With us being in the hospitality industry ourselves, we always prefer constructive critisicm, instead of an unrealistic bad review. Unfortunately, while the property has a wonderful location, the house is in dire need of renovation. Also, please be careful when booking as some of the rooms do not have their own bathrooms! A few things which we felt could have been done better:- Our room was not serviced The rooms are not air-conditioned The shared bathroom was not serviced and left filthy The coffee station in the room lacked any teaspoons to stir coffee There was no water in the room to fill the kettle to make coffee While we love animals, there is a very boisterous dog on site, which did not bother us but, not everyone is an animal lover
The view of the room was good.
Location was ok but very quiet. Nothing around. Bathroom wasnt in the room, last day i didnt even get offered breakfast
We only stayed there one night. It's a beautiful place with a beautiful view and a back entrance to the forest. The staff were very helpful, so we were very grateful. I highly recommend this place.
Only one night... it was truly disappointing, too short stay
Ontbijt was uitstekend en goed verzorgd
Het is een steile klim om bij de accommodatie te komen. Zeker als je wat ouder bent is dat best lastig en met een koffer is het zelfs uitdagend. Het is jammer dat de accommodatie geen voorzieningen heeft als een lift of iets dergelijks. Ook de weg er naar toe is behoorlijk stijl en je moet dus een redelijke chauffeur zijn om de accommodatie per auto te bereiken. De parkeerplaatsen zijn aan de weg die ook erg stijl is, dus een goed handrem is zeker een must!
It was in the preferred neighborhood
The steep uphill while carrying your luggage was not appreciated. We were warned about the steep incline but it did seemed worse in reality
Spacious & easy access walking to Kistenbosch from the property via the contour path at the back. Great place to chill & the manager Kshetra most helpful.
Comfortable ,clean,quiet and beautiful sunrise view🥰.breakfast 👌
Towels were harsh on the skin,felt like they needed fabric softener
Location, views, and great people.
Location. Stunning views
A bit scary parking on a hill
Une vue imprenable et un calme absolu dans un quartier résidentiel. Gentillesse des hôtes. Parfait pour découvrir Capetown et les environs...
Отличный вид на город. Общественная зона с бассейном и браай. В доме приятно находиться. Вежливый и доброжелательный персонал. Можно парковать машину на территории. Простые, но вкусные завтраки.
Personnel incroyable
We had to skip our breakfast because the place was very untidy.
The house was very dirty, there was dust everywhere. The pool was dirty, everything in that house is just dirty. Also they have a dog,that just kept chasing us around,they need to respect and understand that not all their guests love dogs. We had to book another accommodation after the experience we had with the dog and the untidy place, so we did not sleep there,nor eat their breakfast.
Das Personal mega. Super cooler Typ der Leiter des Hotels. Top Service, man hat uns sogar früh einchecken lassen, da wir einen Nachtflug hatten. So etwas erlebt man nicht alle Tage. Frühstück klein aber sehr fein und Lecker. Toller Ausblick auf Kapstadt.
De ruime kamer met balkon was goed. Douche was prima.
Alles was outdated. Misschien 50 jaar geleden modern en luxe, nu ouderwets en sommige dingen niet goed onderhouden. Gastheer was wel behulpzaam , maar niet erg vriendelijk. Parkeerplekken erg slecht ( gevaarlijk bijna)
Excellent, welcoming, warm and friendly hosts. Beautiful view. Perfect accommodation.
Parking on pavement. Unmaintained fishpond at front door to the house. The room desperately needs a revamp. The stay was not worth the money.
Très belle vue, studio spacieux, très bon petit déjeuner. Je recommande
Great spot with direct access to Cape Towns impeccable hiking trails
Location is great, clean and tidy room
Great breakfast, excellent location and good host.
Nobody mentions the driveway hill one has to climb to get to enter the guest house. The carpets in the passage and stairs are rotting and smell. The rooms are in dire need of a paint and a refresh.
Fabulous view from the property. Access has a short steep incline to walk up the drive and steps to climb up further. There is a warning on the booking site, we were prepared ! Great stay and happy we booked it for 4 days in Cape Town.
Needed extra cleaning in the shower area. Would have been nice to have fresh milk at the guest house.
Amazing views, great big room, great pool with views. Interesting host with a lovely dog. Friendly and helpful lady serving breakfast etc
Not a problem for us, but if you are not mobile, the entrance is very steep
Left after 1night so very expensive stay. Had to look for an alternative. Couldn't walk up the very steep hill so persuaded staff to allow me to drive up the hill, leave luggage and partner and reverse down the hill. Not suitable for elderly.
Beautiful and peaceful accommodation with stunning views of the eastern part of Cape Town in the safe neighborhood of Newlands at the eastern foot of Table Mountain. Right behind the guesthouse is the entrance to the forest below Table Mountain, which leads to the fantastic Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. The forest has trails that are perfect for running or walking your dog. A beautiful area. The guesthouse is located in a residential neighborhood, which means it is a little further from restaurants, but there is an excellent one with a fireplace about 1.5 km from the guesthouse (a three-minute drive).
Clean, good breakfast and a wonderful staff
Nice view, delicious breakfast. Friendly staff.
excellent location - so peaceful, wonderful views, and easy access to the nature around. The team were so helpful and flexible with regard to additional dietary needs. responsive, friendly and so helpful. Definitely recommend this accommodation.
nothing to fault
A central quiet place between airport and town. Beautiful view over neighbourhood.
When booking it listed airport shuttle as a service but there was no airport shuttle service ☹️ I don’t know if that is a mistake by booking.com or guesthouse… Breakfast was okay but very plain.
A condition d'avoir une voiture l'emplacement est un excellent point de départ. La vue sur la ville est époustouflante, c'est cosy et propre. Un bon petit déjeuner et une jolie piscine même si au printemps nous n'avons pas pu en profiter.
Отличный вид на город, близко к Ботаническому саду, отличный персонал
Very good breakfast
not applicable
i had booked a king size bed but on arrival there were two single beds. this was rectified for the second of 2 nights. the breakfast was very good but expensive.
Location
Breakfast, Big spacious room
Awesome views
Nickel and dimed - first cup of coffee free, $1 for the second cup! Just some cheap features - margarine rather than butter at breakfast, weird soap in the shower etc.
Stayed for the weekend, nice and tranquil
Great location and enjoyable. Staff very helpful and friendly.
The only issue was lack of power but staff tried to assist.
Our host, Herman, was very friendly and helpful, and he prepared a delicious breakfast for us. The room was very spacious, with a spectacular view.
There is no parking on the inside of the property. However, the area seems safe and I felt comfortable leaving my car in the designated parking space in front of the property.
Herman our host was fantastic, he was very pleasant and helpful. Herman was quick to respond to us when needed and worked hard to make our experience more enjoyable. Thank you Herman Amazing hiking right behind the Panorama nice bonus !!!
We were in a room that had a shared bathroom, but that is what we booked.
Breakfast was great, beautiful location. spacious rooms
My TV did not work but it was not an issue as I was hardly there. No issues to report
Beautiful view! Situated in a quiet neighbourhood near Kirstenbosch Gardens, 5 minutes away by car. Clean, simple, homely, and spacious rooms and a pool with a view. Friendly hosts and good communication. We will book again! Thanks!
Nothing in particular either way. Though my car didn’t like driving up the mountain very much. Still, I would stay again.
The most wonderful setting, with such great staff ( Kshetra was so helpful and friendly) the room was great. Breakfast was outstanding with the best omelettes.
The sliding door for our shower room across the hall was noisy in the night. But that was just minor really.
The view of the city and location
Basically you are renting a room in a house.
Excellent! I had oats with avo. Marvellous! And I salute on availability of coffee!
I love the place. Well situated! I love the tranquility of the place. And one has complete privacy!
Wonderful views ideal location for our purpose
Only one chair in bedroom for 2 making tv viewing uncomfortable; tv in main sitting room not working; fridge in bedroom very noisy had to turn it off; host rather off hand
Great breakfast Nice views Clean
Dog shit on the driveway and around the pool. Dog peeing on the passage carpet
Great view, pool, comfortable bed
Steep slope to walk up but alleviated with helped from the staff to carry luggage
Fantastic views and easy access to the mountain.
Up a slope but if as an 82 year old I can make it....so can anyone. Set in a lovely quiet cul de sac, The outstanding part was the pool area with fabulous views. Room was spacious. Great setting
The rooms are big, amazing location and very neat overall.
No backup power during load shedding.
Great value for money with neat, well-sized rooms. It is at a great location, with exceptional views of the Newlands area, stretching all the way back to the sea if the weather is clear.
