Travellers' Choice
Compass House enjoys a warm and tranquil atmosphere. Located in Bantry Bay, just two minutes from the beach-front, ten minutes away from Table Mountain, the city center and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The 20 meters long swimming pool and patio lend themselves brilliantly for day-time relaxation and witnessing the beautifully blissful South African sunset. Our rooms offer our guests a warm ambiance, with clear views of the ocean and direct access to the spacious deck and pool area. In our large en-suite bathrooms, guests can indulge in our exclusive BVLGARI amenities. All rooms are equipped with a (high-tech) Control4 and LINN in-wall sound system, allowing direct access to radio and a large music library.

Staying at Compass House hotel was the favourite part of our holiday to South Africa! The views and pool area are truly fabulous and have everything you could possibly need. The honesty bars are brilliant to ensure you always have a cold drink in your hand (although the fantastic service meant we rarely had to move!) and Mark and his team treated us like family. The hotel is very clean and exceptionally well presented, we honestly can't fault it and look forward to returning as soon as possible!

My husband and I spend the last days of our 3-week-honeymoon in SA at this gorgeous little hidden gem. Mark and Daniel, the host and key contacts for all questions, requests, recommendations etc. were great from the very beginning until the end. Very personal and caring and also super fun to talk to. Everybody should also try Daniel's special signature drink - we loved enjoying it at the infinity pool. We had one incidents regarding our AC that did not work - but the team managed to solve this with high priority, continuous updates proactively brought up to us and not to mentioned the complimentary bubbles we got at arrival and also as an apology. We also loved the honor-bar concept which really made this place feel like home. We will be back! Thank you all very much.

What a fantastic place! Mark and his team made everything seem so easy, a real oasis in Cape Town. We had bad weather when we arrived so table mountain was out of action, thankfully Marks little black book was filled with alternatives and we had a great time sand dune driving and sand-boarding. Going over and above Mark also helped us secure reservations after we had left Cape Town and were in Franschhoek Thanks again Mark we will be back! Dave & Tash

Fantastic service and great location here at Compass House. The rooms are excellent with everything thought through. Brilliant breakfast overlooking the Ocean matched by a perfect sundowner (thanks Daniel!) in the evening. Mark and the team really listened and understood our requests and matched their suggestions of restaurants and excursions perfectly so we enjoyed a great break. Thoroughly recommended. I’m sure the sister hotel The Clarendon would be equally good too
