Roland and his wife has created an oasis behind the gates to the street! They offer a warm welcome, and are happy to help you with all you need. Lovely gardens with petite pool for morning plunges, cosy stoop for evening drinks or afternoon coffee when you come home from a busy day on the town. But the rooms are even more worth talking about, each with its tote animal. They are spectacular! Wildlife and safari styled, the offer an intriguing yet cosy atmosphere.

We stayed at the Jardin d'ébène guesthouse for three nights at the beginning of our holidays in South Africa. It is located close to the center and in walking distance to many good restaurants. We were warmly received by the hosts Roland and Alex. The “Zebra” room was spacious and very clean, and the bed comfortable. We had an extra bed for our daughter. The honesty bar offered cold water, wine, drinks, and fruits around the clock. Roland was genuinely friendly, always available for a chat, gave tips on what to do, yet with a good sense when guests want to be on their own, and kindly reserved all the restaurants for us. The breakfast was delicious and included müsli, cold-cuts and cheese, jam, and eggs made to order. We loved the fact that the breakfast was served at the table as a buffet was not possible due to covid. We enjoyed our stay very much and will come back the next time we will be in Cape Town. A big thank you from all our family.

We spent a very enjoyable 4 days at Jardin d’ebene. Roland and Alexandra were wonderful hosts. We were upgraded to the Elephant Room, which was very comfortable. The property has plenty of public spaces (indoor lounge, covered veranda, pool area and garden) which means you have lots of room to relax unlike sone other guest houses which can feel quite cramped. The location in Tamboerskloof is very convenient.
