Detailed Reviews
It was my second business stay and I will return, again and again.
The owners, the management team and each staff member went out of their way to give me ease and comfort. The rooms, the gardens, the pool and the restaurant sparkle with care and attention to detail. The lit up palm tree at night was such a delight. I am already looking forward to my January stay.

Thank you for an amazing 18 days. With sparkling clean pool and friendly people.
Received very nice breakfast packs because I had to leave early on the morning for work. The WiFi works well even during loadshedding and always give you enough milk and coffee everyday in your rooms. Not this small milk pods.

The place was recommended by a colleague in Cape Town and it was great. Our flight was delayed by two hours from JHB which meant we arrived very late, around 10pm but we were still able to have a nice hot meal. We will definitely be booking into there next time.

The guest house is very beautiful. Great dinner. Friendly staff. But the bed linen in my room was very filthy, it wasn't changed. After requesting clean linen, they brought sheets that were not ironed.
The staff must take special care in the little things like these that can make or break a great place like this.

Hello Masana M Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Please could you send us an email with the exact date of your stay as well as the room number. We cannot trace your name at all on our system and would like to have this information in order for us to attend to this matter immediately and address the person responsible. This is most definitely not acceptable at all and this is NEVER acceptable at our establishment. We take pride in offering an exceptionally clean room and all amenities. Looking forward to hear from you without delay. Regards Management Excellent guest House

Nothing better and very central for doing business and people visiting. Good breakfast early mornings and very flexible if needed anything special - requests. If you need a family gathering or wife treat to Cape Town you won't be sorry by staying in this Excellent "Excellent Guest House"

We really had a fantastic stay. The
parking setup was great , easy in& out , that’s what we need when coming to swim at UWC. Comfy bed , air con, bath. 7 min drive from Tiger valley . And the best part was not feeling the Load shedding or thinking about it for our 5 day stay. Highly recommend!!!! Guests made some noise at 11pm on the first night . I called reception and it was quickly sorted out. Although there are signs saying no noise after 10pm , people will take advantage. Thank you for keeping the standards so high!!!

Good value breakfast but tended to be on the cold side due to using hot trays rather than bain maries. Nice outdoor area. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy room, although the mattress was a bit lumpy for some reason. I would definitely recommend this though.

Hi John Thank you so much for the review. So sorry about the cold breakfasts. The warming plates can make the food cook, but it was just set to low. I just fixed it I think I must glue the setting buttons so that no one can set the warming plates 🤦🏻♂️🙈 REALLY SO SORRY 🙏🍁 Hope to see You soon 🍻 Thank Loots

Good afternoon Sonsy
Unfortunately we do not have a tour guide at Excellent Guest House, but I can give some tips. The best way to see as much of Cape Town as possible is to make use of the Sightseeing Red Bus in Cape Town. You'll need transport to the V&A Waterfront and the take the Red bus from there.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Mari Richardson
Hello Lizzie
We do have luggage storage facilities...no problem.
