Guesthouse One Belvedere

Beautiful old manor house in Oranjezicht. Lovely, leafy streets and safe area. Large, airy room and private lounge (on ground floor). Love the tub! Friendly, professional duty manager, Pitshou.

Beautiful picturesque views of Cape Town. Our room was very stylish with breathtaking views of Cape Town's city bowl, the Atlantic and table mountain. Im very impressed with place. They should charge more!!

The house itself was absolutely gorgeous but our experience with the host was very disappointing. We booked the entire house one month in advance for a special occasion and made it explicitly clear we wanted to use the hot tub the whole evening. When we arrived two hours after check-in time, the hot tub wasn’t full and we were told the heater was broken, and it seems the lady who cares for the property wasn’t informed by the owner of our request. We also asked for two singles instead of one king bed in one of the rooms (which we were told would be possible) and we arrived to that arrangement having been missed too. The house was also not very clean, had dog medication on the counters, old food in the fridge, and chew toys on the floor. The owner didn’t send us confirmation of booking despite our settling the invoice and didn’t respond to my four follow-up emails over the course of a month. When I finally got ahold of her via the phone after calling multiple times, she told me she would send check-in instructions via WhatsApp which she never did, and again confirmed that the hot tub would be in working order, which it was not. Overall, we had a good time there with friends, but the running of this establishment is very messy and unremarkable. I would not recommend booking here if you’re looking for a seamless, stress-free getaway, as this was far more admin-heavy than I would’ve liked. It may, however, be a good place to spend a night in Cape Town, but don’t expect all the bells and whistles they advertise in their photographs as you may end up disappointed.

Excellent accomodation, service and cleanliness impeccable. Owner is great and always ready to help. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place and if coming back to Cape Town this is definitely the place to stay.
