Absolutely perfect guesthouse situated in well manicured huge garden in a tranquil area. Ideal for making excursions to Cape Town, the Winelands and the Hermanus Area. Nothing to complain at all! Nice hosts who provided us with a lot of useful advice. Room exactly how described and seen in the internet with a most wonderful view over the entire bay from our own terrasse, very good breakfast and friendly staff. We will definitely come again!

Apricot gardens is a beautifully positioned, immaculate yet homely GuestHouse and the hosts are wonderful - so friendly and professional who make the tastiest breakfast. The dogs should also get a mention as they add to the majestic setting and loved to walk with us in the lovely, well-manicured gardens. We will be back!

We loved the warm welcome, the hosts sympathy. The place was cozy, clean, charming, and organized. Despite having load shedding (as usual in South Africa), the generator was very nice, but being surrounded by natural beauty from mountains and beach, we don't want to focus on electronic things. Our room with a view to the ocean allowed us to witness beautiful sunsets. The breakfast was rich, healthy and fresh. For sure we will come back to spend more weekends!

Apricot Gardens Boutique Guesthouse is always worth a visit. Melanie and Alex take excellent care of the guests. From airport transfers to rental cars and golf course reservations, everything is taken care of. The guesthouse is in a quiet location but still close to the sights. From our point of view, the best choice for a golf holiday in the Cape or as a starting point for a South Africa tour.

A wonderful guesthouse with perfect view to the false bay. Very nice hosts, helpful for every problem you may have, such as recommending restaurants, reservations of restaurants, tips for excursions and more. Alex proposed and booked us a full program for golfing, like t-time reservations, cart reservations, airport transfer and rental car in front of guesthouse etc. The rooms are comfortable and good equipped, always clean. Not to forget the excellent cuisine and breakfast. I can highly recomment this guesthouse, in which I was the fourth time.

You always got the feeling, that you are very welcome at the Apricot Gardens. Rooms are very well, always clean and you do not miss anything for a pleasant stay. Shower, separate toilet, TV, Ventilation (no air condition, but I think this is not needed), small swimming pool and excellent breakfeast. Golftours are very well organized and you can get your rental car directly at the guesthouse. Transfer to and from airport are also organized. So everything is done for a well and relaxing stay. Because the guesthouse is a little bit outside town, you always have a quiet stay.
