Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We enjoyed our brief two night stay at Easy Five in Somerset West.The property was easy to find and very conveniently placed to visit the vineyards. Our host was very welcoming and the pools a useable size.. The garden is very easy on the eye with Sun lounges available and plenty of shade when needed. We will visit again.

Francis and Linda are the most amazing hosts we've come across. Beyond accommodating, helpful, incredibly friendly and all around amazing. We were a group of 13 traveling through Cape Town at Christmas and were treated like family at Easy Five. The 13 of us couldn't recommend this guest house enough

Thank you for the great review, Chris. It was a delight to have you all here at Easy Five, and to see you enjoy all our facilities, especially our pool, and the built-in braai in our thatched lapa that hosted your whole party so many nights. Please do come and stay with us again.

Lovely place to stay: very hospitable, helpful and friendly hosts Ally and Dave. Great ensuited rooms, secure and clean. Relaxed atmosphere with a sparkling pool and common area where we met other guests for a chat. Chose breakfast option which changed daily and was customised to my needs. Close to winelands, golf and shops. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

We stayed in the Elephant room which has the most comfortable extra long bed. The room and location are very quiet, with the pool and gardens just lovely. The hosts were perfect. Welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. They allowed us to check in slightly early which was most appreciated. We wish you good luck with this relatively new venture and look forward to seeing you again.

Dave is a friendly host. We had a pleasant stay. Kids enjoyed the swimming pool and their room upstairs. First stay in Somerset West. Easy Five is situated in a beautiful area. Will definitely be back.

We stayed at Easy Five between our stay in Cape Town and our stay in Franschoek - we know the owner Francis from Canada and were dying to check it out. We weren't disappointed - the property is beautiful, with a lovely main house, several standalone cottages, and a beautiful common area with a pool, tiki-style bar, BBQ, and lounge chairs. The rooms are newly-renovated, and were very comfortable. Free Wifi throughout the property. Nice breakfast buffet with cold cuts, fresh bread, cheeses, granola, etc. and the highlight: African coffee (Francis likes serving his guests coffee from various African countries). Since it was winter we weren't able to use the pool, but can imagine during the warmer months it would be so nice to hang out on the lounge chairs, go for a dip, and then BBQ dinner. This property is perfect for long stays, and several of the rooms have their own kitchens. We were only there for one day, but we will definitely be back in the summer!

It was marvellous having you and Kevin here, Erin. I can't wait until you come back to South Africa during warmer seasons and come and see us again.

We can DEFINITELY recommend the Easy Five! We stayed in one of the self-catering units for a month, while renovations were completed at our house. Siegbert & Karin Konrad were a fantastic hosts & made us and the kids feel at home! Thank you!
