Lovely colourfull place! Owners are really friendly and relaxt. We felt at home. At the end of the day we were looking forward to go back home, just to relax and enjoy the good admosphere! The location is perfect. It's a walking distance to the boulevard. Easy for Uber to get there, so i'd say 'if you go to CapeTown, go and stay at AmiVineHouse!'

We absolutely loved our stay! When booking I wasn’t sure as there were not as many reviews as other places. But the photos were nice, convenient location, good price and good reviews. Why not? And there are no regrets. Staff was kind and helpful. Room super clean. Room with a view of the table mountain. Neighbourhood with many bars and restaurants I would stay there again and definitely recommend

The room has a really nice size, which is super convenient and made our stay very comfortable! The bed is a great size (I think King size/1.80m) and is very comfortable. The shower is spacious and nice. The hotel has a great location, just 5 min away from the beach and nice restaurants. Our flight was very delayed and they still welcomed us late at night, which we really appreciated!

    Fantastic guest house in a great location which is ideal for exploring the Cape. The hosts Michael and Jeanne are terrific and are extremely helpful with great local guidance. Breakfast was a real treat - most of the food is either local or home made (bread and yoghurt). Jeanne also bakes a 'treat of he day' which is always delicious. Our room (202) was excellent - large bedroom with a terrace facing the sea. The property is in a cul-de-sac and so it is very quiet. Highly Recommended

    Loved our stay at the Tintagel Guest house. Big comfortable bedrooms, immaculately clean. Wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful, they happily arranged dinner reservations for us. Lovely breakfast, outside in the courtyard on good days, inside when it became windy. Secure off road parking. Great location, close to Kloof Street, Long Street and an easy drive or inexpensive taxi to all the main city centre attractions and the Table Mountain Cable Car station.

    Cheviot Place is a great place in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very charming and you can walk to places like the Waterfront or Green Point Park. There are a large number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. On the other hand, James is a great host and has given us many good tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. In summary, Cheviot Place is a highly recommended place to spend a few quiet days in Cape Town in a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

    I stayed at 10 different guest houses during my trip in South Africa and Maartens Guesthouse is definitely my favourite! His warm personality, wicked sense of humour and attention to detail really makes us feel at home. He’s not only a great host but also a very kind friend. Thank you for having us!

    Great location in a quiet area, ideal for the airport, city and other destinations. Very relaxed, non-pretentious guest house. Excellent cooked breakfast, the 'kitchen sink' omelette is specially recommended. Kevin and Hermann were very welcoming and great hosts.
