Detailed Reviews
+ lan had great communication and contacted me before I landed. I was greeted on arrival and shown to the room and nothing was too much trouble or felt like an inconvenience. The facilities and the room were exceptional. Even after my stay lan kept in touch to help with information regarding the trip (car rental) to ensure I had the best time in SA.

WOW! I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful my stay was at Roosboom. Ian, Mabel and Candy are genuinely the most incredibly warm and generous hosts and just all-round wonderful people. It was such a treat every morning to have a quick chat with them while eating the delicious breakfast they had prepared. The detail and cleanliness in the rooms is excellent and they have really gone the extra mile to ensure their guests feels at home. I would come back in a heartbeat.

We stayed in the beautiful, very well-appointed , quiet and cosy garden apartment for a few enchanted days and were blown away by the generous hospitality of hosts Ian, Candi and Mabel. Our apartment was set in a lush and secluded garden and there are stunning sea views from the breakfast room as well as from the upstairs apartments. We went for the breakfast option and were welcomed each morning with warm smiles and a delicious full breakfast. We can wholeheartedly recommend Roosboom Apartments and will definitely be back.

The guesthouse is situated in a quiet residential area and the views are breathtaking. Ian, Mabel and Candi are excellent hosts and we would not hesitate to recommend Roosboom unreservedly.

From arrival to departure, this felt like a stay with friends in their luxury home; and yet we were left to enjoy our accommodation and privacy with only occasional interruptions for minor maintenance or a quick, friendly conversation. Just the perfect, caring hosts. The apartments were immaculately clean and serviced so discreetly. Roosboom is perfectly situated for access to the winelands, beaches and Cape Town's tourist hotspots. We couldn't have asked for more. Superb!

I stayed at Roosboom whilst on business, and it was highly recommended by a VIP client. From the start, Mabel and Ian went out of their way to provide the best service and made me feel at home. I had a gorgeous suite with beautiful views. Stunning luxurious Guesthouse catering for every need. I will be back for sure!

The place is very well located, with clean and well accomodated rooms. Safe close parking. The view from the upper rooms is just amazing, giving a lanscape on all Somerset West, Mountains & Oceans. The hosting family is very kind, friendly and careful about all your needs. If you're on a business trip, the wifi connection is very efficient. All is very perfect, a place I will definitely return during my next trip there.

Thank you Roosboom for warm welcome upon arrival, and Attention to detail.Second time I stayed and consider it a home away from home. Views are breathtaking and the garden room is very comfortable, as is the deck for a quite read, weather permitting. I would also like to thank Shirley for her housekeeping. Spotless. Will most definitely stay again and recommend for travelers who like comfort with care and excellent wifi (free).
