Guest Houses in Africa

Extremely welcoming - great hosts. Ciska was helpful and terrific from start to finish, even preparing early breakfast for us to accommodate our early tour. Must be a new guest house as the locals were unfamiliar with it - you'd never know with the polished hospitality!

This guest house felt like a home away from home. The fire was inviting and the staff were warm and fun to talk to about rugby and all things South African. Breakfast was delicious and the rooms were individual and comfortable.

Incredible boutique experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like royalty. Every attention to detail. A wonderful afternoon tea followed by happy hour. Beautiful room, incredibly clean, stunning views. Highly, highly recommend staying here on your Garden Route drive! Thanks again to the wonderful Team!

I had a great experience at Montagu Vines. The property and my room were beautiful and the breakfast was a good as any I’ve had at at B&B (made even more enjoyable by the view over the garden and olive grove). Best yet was the personal care provided the owners Pam and “Ant” who are very hands on. I highly recommended Montagu Vines.

The guesthouse was really beautiful and looked as if it was brand new. We only stayed for one night but we got some great tips on what to do in Swellendam and even for the rest of our trip. The breakfast was also really good! I would definitely recommend to stay here, for the beautiful place and the nice reception by the owner.

An Exceptionally Comfortable and Memorable Stay From the moment I arrived, I was truly impressed by the warm hospitality and attention to detail at this hotel. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the staff made me feel welcome right away. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort. I especially appreciated the high-quality bedding, which made it easy to relax and get a good night's sleep. The amenities provided were also...

Staff was friendly and helpful!!

This place was a wonderful ending to my trip. The owners and staff were wonderful and made the place feel so homey. The surroundings are gorgeous and peaceful. I loved watching the peacock and chickens. I felt so relaxed and confortable I would definitely recommend and return.

After Sahara tour and a day’s travel by taxi from Mezouga, we’re really exhausted. Walking through their modest front door, we found ourselves in a lavishly beautiful oasis. Our room is neat, styled with signature handcrafts of Fez. Hotel manager is a smart and very friendly lady who listened and tried to accommodate our needs. We spent a day in old Médina with tour guide Abdullah recommended by hotel. He led us swimming through this charming maze and ended up appreciating the wisdom and...

This is a beautiful bed and breakfast at the foot of Table Mountain and in the middle of an eclectic neighborhood where all the good restaurants are. The owners are very gracious and gave us great tips on where to go, what to see in Cape Town and the surrounding area. It was not just a hotel stay but a true experience to be there.

It’s a beautiful guest house and in a lovely quiet spot. We were greeted very pleasantly by Dawn(?) who kindly showed us the wonderful facilities. If we ran a guest house this is exactly how we would do it. Our bedroom was beautiful with plenty of room and a very comfortable bed and a lovely shower. The views of the ocean are marvelously relaxing. The guest lounge was fabulous, again very relaxing with tea and coffee available as in the bedroom. The breakfast area is beautifully laid out and the...

Fernwood Manor is wonderful. Clean, well decorated, quiet, and well heated/cooled. Staff are professional and helpful. Breakfast is prepared for you. Best of all, it is a short walk from one of the best, if not the best, botanical garden, Kirstenbosch. August and September are months with amazing blooms.

Great location and amazing staff

Enjoyed the room and areas around it

KLM fed me some poisoned breakfast on the 2nd leg of a 3-legged dog, 32 hour journey here, leaving me vomiting from both ends on the flight from AMS to CPT. This gave me the perfect excuse to do what I came here to do - absolutely nothing. I'm going into day 3 of a 4 day stay and have only left the hotel once to get anti-acid from the store down the street. I just wanted to come here to say I went to Africa. I dont want to annoy a lion or try to bury some white guilt in visiting Nelson Mandela's...

Great accommodation in very special surroundings

Beautiful amenities and exceptional hospitality professionals. Do note that it’s about 20 minutes from the city center and do NOT be frightened by the sketchy drive leading up to the property through narrow, bumpy durt roads.

Fabulous place to stay with an amazing staff. We greatly enjoyed our visit.
