Friendly, Comfortable, Secure Guesthouse

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jan 2016
My girfriend and I stayed in Southern Cross Guesthouse for 2 nights. We experienced helpfulness of the owners and easy and user-friendly instructions on basic stuff (operating the remote controlled gate, facilities around etc.). We felt very trusted, which is precious.

The facility itself is comfortably equipped with super bed, spacious bathroom, nice veranda, clean swimming pool, comfy facilities around the common entertainment area. Tea, coffee, cool drinks and other beverages are avilable at all times. The area is quiet, tranquil. Absolutely recommended for any type of travel!

We stayed here two weeks in total and have already booked to go back. The hosts, Marc and Claudia are really attentive and caring. They notice your small preferences and quietly deliver to meet your needs. Breakfasts are fantastic and a combination of European and English so there is something for everyone. Rooms are large, beautifully appointed and the cleaning staff are really top class. The grounds are gorgeous and we spent quite a bit of time at the pool. We found the location to be extremely central to whatever we wanted to do. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Southern Cross guesthouse. What better place to spend Christmas in the sun! Claudia & Marc were welcoming hosts and had a high attention to detail. Our room was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed with lovely, soft sheets. We loved the view from the sun deck in the garden - a great place to watch the sunset!

The breakfast with much love prepared.
At questions or wishes both try to help wherever they can.

The location in Somerset West makes the Southern Cross Guesthouse an almost ideal place to discover Cape Town, the Winelands and also a day trip to Hermanus is no problem. For those who are golfing: There are a number of good courses not far from there.
The majority of the guests were from Germany.
The guesthouse is located in a kind of a small park, it's not the most modern place but rooms have been renovated and the suite we were in was large, airy and light with views to the False Bay.
The breakfast including fresh rolls and eggs of any style was very good.
Claudia and Marc were very helpful when booking restaurants, tee-times or giving valuable tips for activities.
We can recommend this guesthouse and would go back if the occasion arises.
