This place truly stands out for its exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly, always ready to assist with a smile, ensuring that every guest feels valued and comfortable. They go above and beyond to accommodate any requests and provide helpful recommendations. The environment is not only warm but also impeccably clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining experience. The food, meanwhile, is a highlight—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Each dish reflects high-quality ingredients and attention to detail, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal. Highly recommended!

The Manager and staff were friendly, informative (especially about loadshedding) and attentive without dropping the professional standard. Food was delicious and wholesome, like what one would eat at home, rooms were very clean without feeling sterile and the beds and sleep were straight out of a Slumberland ad. Maroela House gets a three thumbs up from me.

I absolutely loved my stay at this guest house! It’s so peaceful and relaxing, with a beautiful environment that makes it the perfect escape. The services were amazing, and I couldn’t have felt more cared for.

A huge shoutout to Samantha and Yanga; they are incredible! They made sure I had everything I needed and were always so friendly and helpful. The owner, Mary, is such a lovely person. She’s so thoughtful and really goes the extra mile to make sure her guests are comfortable and happy.

This was my second time staying here, and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year for the third time in a row. Also, the location is ideal, just a 25-minute drive to the Waterfront and 35 minutes to Stellenbosch. Plus, there are some fantastic wine estates and great restaurants close by.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, welcoming place to stay, I can’t recommend this guest house enough!

We always excited when we get to book a stay at Maroela House if bookings available as my partner off days are not frequent and Maroela House is always fully booked. Top class host, we enjoy the large cottage space provided, the fact that there is fridge, aircon and wifi is available. Beautiful outdoor scenery within property, we feel safe and happy always...Thak you Aunty Mary Pat and Staff

My family and I visited the Maroela House in December 2023. We foubd the guest house to be so clean and breath taking. The room had a tea station and the bed had white clean linens. The pool was so clean and the kids really had a great time swimming. The host, Mary Pat was very welcoming and suggested nice activities that we could do, she was very helpful on everything that we needed. She offered a kitchen that we could use for breakfast and dinner and it had all the utensils that we needed. There was a nice eating area as well where we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner as a family. Yanga and Samanatha, the housekeepers were so great and kept our rooms clean. I would recommend the Maroela to anyone and would come back again when am visiting Cape- Town.

Dear Seaside, We all loved hosting you in December, thank you for staying at Maroela. It was so fortunate we could offer you the use of the kitchen /dining area which is often booked for business, when it is not holiday time. It was a win win for both of us. Thank you for our fabulous review. The Maroela Team

My stay, from the moment of check-in to check-out, was delightful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. The courtyard, adorned with flourishing plants, felt like a serene oasis. If there's one minor suggestion, it would be to have slightly longer beds to accommodate guests of varying sizes. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Thank you Trek for this super review. You were a special, and helpful guest to host. I hear you on extra long beds, this would have suited you perfectly. Last week we installed solar at Maroela, we will be considering to add some long beds to the to do list for 2024!

Mary's place exceeded expectations; it's evidently recently renovated and looks even better in person than in the listing photos.
Privacy was respected, and the host was incredibly responsive whenever assistance was needed. The serene neighborhood, adorned with large homes, added to the overall peaceful experience.

Hello DWard50, Yes, absolutely. As we know your approximate arrival time we make sure we get your room prepared first. The previous guest is entitled to the room until 10 am, shortly after the clean team get in to your room, give us an hour and it will be spick and span.
