We stayed at the Jardin d'ébène guesthouse for three nights at the beginning of our holidays in South Africa. It is located close to the center and in walking distance to many good restaurants. We were warmly received by the hosts Roland and Alex. The “Zebra” room was spacious and very clean, and the bed comfortable. We had an extra bed for our daughter. The honesty bar offered cold water, wine, drinks, and fruits around the clock. Roland was genuinely friendly, always available for a chat, gave tips on what to do, yet with a good sense when guests want to be on their own, and kindly reserved all the restaurants for us. The breakfast was delicious and included müsli, cold-cuts and cheese, jam, and eggs made to order. We loved the fact that the breakfast was served at the table as a buffet was not possible due to covid. We enjoyed our stay very much and will come back the next time we will be in Cape Town. A big thank you from all our family.
We spent a very enjoyable 4 days at Jardin d’ebene. Roland and Alexandra were wonderful hosts. We were upgraded to the Elephant Room, which was very comfortable. The property has plenty of public spaces (indoor lounge, covered veranda, pool area and garden) which means you have lots of room to relax unlike sone other guest houses which can feel quite cramped. The location in Tamboerskloof is very convenient.
The main thing we truly enjoyed here - is the feeling that you're at home!
Thanks, Roland, for these wonderful conversations we had every morning, for the traveling tips especially!
The house with all its African accessories is amazing, breakfasts - are delicious...and the chimney in a room - the best bonus travelers may have (number 2 - is mini-bar in your house also worth noticing)))).
The part of the city is safe but close to good restaurants and cafes.
I definitely recommend this accommodation for everyone who wants to experience this "warm African hug" :)
All the best!
I stayed here for 2 weeks whilst visiting my daughter and would highly recommend Jardin d'Ebene. I would certainly return. The position is perfect ... easily accessible to all parts of Cape Town. My room was very clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed. Roland was wonderfully hospitable and very easy to talk to. Staff were always very pleasant and obliging. Breakfast out on the terrace overlooking the pool was lovely too. Highly recommended.
We arrived in a lovely guest house with a lot of charm that is owning by Roland, german who live since a lot of year in SA. Roland was really nice and it was a pleasure to speak with him about South Africa history but also the current situation. He helped us and avdised us a lot of things to do in town. Also, all his team was nice and very helpful when needed.
We slept in the Zebra room that is a very spacious room with a nice bathroom. This room had a lot of charm and the bed was... huge and very confortable. The decoration is very well done.
I would advise and recommend this guest house to anyone who will go to Cap Town. Again Bravo Roland and thank you for everything.
