    Cape Finest was amazing. The treasure of the guest house was Willi; he looked after us from morning to night 🌙 😄 Breakfast was delicious, carefully thought about and varied...for fear we would get bored! Room was beautiful. He was interested in how our day went, ready with suggestions for great restaurants and music. Willi was keen to ensure we were safe when we went out and told us where to go and where not. Would love to stay again as Cape Town has much more to explore.

    Incredible stay!!! We stayed there for 5 nights and felt home in the end. That was not just because of the beautiful neighbourhood, the great bright and super clean apartment, tasty breakfast, it was mainly because of Willie,who made us feel really comfortable. He welcomed us with his super friendly attitude, fresh fruits and a bottle of wine and gave us the best tipps for Cape Town and the surrounding ever! You can ask Willie everything: how to stay safe in Cape Town, where to go for the best drinks and food, about tours and on and on... Cape finest guesthouse is also settled in a nice nighbourhood with super views over the City. We highly recommend a stay there!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel apartment for 2 nights, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. My stay was simply fantastic. First and foremost, the apartment itself was immaculate. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings was evident, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Speaking of exploration, I owe a debt of gratitude to extraordinary employee at the hotel who went above and beyond to make my stay truly memorable. Their genuine warmth and hospitality left an indelible impression on me. Not only did he provide excellent service, but they also took the time to recommend some local attractions that turned out to be absolute highlights of my trip (fishhoek, Manhattan bar) Thanks to suggestions, I had the opportunity to visit the charming coastal town of Fishhoek, which was a hidden gem. Additionally, other employee recommendation to visit the captivating farm of Babylonstoren was a stroke of brilliance. Overall, my stay at this hotel apartment was an absolute delight. The impeccable accommodations, coupled with the warm and attentive service from the staff, made it a truly memorable experience. Thanks to the outstanding recommendations from two exceptional employees, I had the pleasure of discovering the enchanting Fishhoek and the captivating Babylonstoren farm. If you're looking for a hotel that not only provides exceptional accommodations but also goes the extra mile to ensure you have a memorable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel apartment. Your comfort and satisfaction are guaranteed, and you may even uncover hidden gems within the city like I did. I can't wait to return and create even more cherished memories in the future.

    Unfortunately we only spent one night at the Cape Finest Guest House but it was fantastic. The room was very nice and super clean. The roof terrace is just a dream to just relax and have a nice drink. There is a private parking lot behind the house (fenced), it is within walking distance to the center. The breakfast was delicious and absolutely freshly prepared. Last but not least, Sam made the whole thing a wonderful stay with his great manner. Thank you very much we enjoyed it very much

    Everything about our stay was amazing! Room was very clean and cleaned every day! Our main host Willie was the greatest. He gave us the best tips for activities and restaurant. When we came back in the afternoon from the lions head track he asked us how our day was and gave us some restaurant tips. Before heading out we took a quick shower. When we came back from the restaurant, Willie had changed our towels, placed waterbottles next to our bed and had put some sweets on our bed and had put the bedlights on. This was a very nice and welcoming surprise. A true host!

    Cape Finest Guest House at 17, Loader Street is the best B&B we have ever stayed at around the world!! Everything about it is 1st class, the location is ideal for seeing/walking CT and the team of Eugene and Desmond make sure your stay is without blemish. Cannot recommend it more highly.
