A beautifully located guest house with a lot to offer

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Mar 2023
It's not called the Panorama Guest House for nothing - the views over Cape Town and the Hottentots Holland mountains in the background are stunning! In addition, our room was spacious and the location convenient for getting into town, going to the beaches and visiting Kirstenbosch (an essential part of any trip to Cape Town). The staff were excellent - extremely accommodating and friendly and they made us feel at home. The guesthouse has a very relaxed feel with plenty of space to relax and unwind at the end of the day. An added bonus is that there is easy access to Newlands Forest through a back gate. We went for an early morning walk with one of the staff members and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Thank you very much, our stay was very enjoyable.

The TV didn't work, but that was fine because we went to bed early since the Argus Cycle race was the next morning and my husband was going to take part.

Very peaceful place, perfect room and comfortable bed, and most of all we liked the very friendly staff who made this stay even better! Too bad we only stayed here for 1 night as a first stop on our way to the garden route.

A really enjoyable stay. Comfortable room with fantastic view, enjoyed the pool, excellent breakfasts, flexible arrangements, lots of useful advice. I particularly enjoyed the 3 hour hike in Newlands Forest just out of the back gate, with Hermann -- these are beautiful forests with many open areas with views, and wonderful vegetation.

Used this lovely friendly place on a business trip. Wonderfully helpful and friendly staff, location was idyllic so a real shame we were not on vacation to enjoy the east access to the national park just behind the accommodation. For sure when we are back in Cape Town this will be on our places to stay.

Great hospitality, warm welcome and called several times to check at what will we arrive at and also accommodated us even though we were late. They advised on which places to go and also to check on the weather as well as best restaurants around.
