Chartfield Guesthouse

A nice guest house. Only complaint would be inaccessibility of staff part of the day and lack of free wi-fi or internet. A bit tacky to charge for the use of a centrally located computer.

A very romantic place where they really pay attention to the details. A 25 minute drive from Cape Town center, next door to Muizenberg beach, 20 minutes to Boulders Beach and 30 minutes to the Cape of Good hope. Parking is on-street with a car guard. Stairs go down to the coast and a charming street full of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Plenty within walking distance. Our room was modern but still romantic and was clean and comfortable. Our room, "Jenny," had a view of the ocean, the mountains, and the fishing boats that was lovely. We saw whales swimming by one afternoon. Plug in heater in the room. A bottle of local wine and of water provided in the room for a reasonable fee. The staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel has plenty of comfortable sitting areas (one inside with a fireplace and reading materials, some outside near the pool, and one on the patio with blankets in case it gets cold and binoculars to watch the whales). Breakfast was excellent and there were plenty of choices for several nights stay. I highly recommend the eggs with truffle oil. Coffee was also excellent, made from an "illy" coffee machine. A free coffee service was also offered each morning where you sign up the night before for a specialty coffee to be delivered to your room at your specified time. Overall, I loved this B&B and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a romantic getaway.

Comfortable and convenient. Good service. Friendly and helpful owner and staff.

what a fantastic place. all of the staff was extremely nice and helpful, breakfast was amazing. the room was beautiful and very clean with great vviews. kalk bay is a bit farther from the city than my wife and i expected, but so worth it. would highly recommend to anyone and hope to stay there again in the future.

Very cute/clean b&b at reasonable drivable distance from Cape Town (V&A Waterfront) and very good price. Nice view of ocean and Table Mountain from adjacent balcony (not from room as only 2 rooms face the ocean). As 2 women traveling we felt very safe even when out after dark (as it was winter season and darkness game early). Staff were very welcoming and rooms cozy. Private washrooms were great and in room safe was a real bonus. Breakfast was good but would recommend bakeries or cafes near by (cheaper and better selection). TV in room and wifi available for low cost .. Would highly recommend! Staff were very accommodating.. Warm packs were also prepared every night for guests to stay warm during chilly winter months. Complimentary hot beverages we also delivered to the room every morning at time requested. Loved our stay!

Unbelievable experience the staff are friendly and the guesthouse is spotless.

The hotel was beautiful and in great walking distance to the shops, restaurants, and trains in Kalk Bay. However, to do anything outside of Kalk Bay you need a car for this hotel. The staff is poor at helping you with cabs and arranging activities. They frequently will quote you the most expensive option instead of giving you choices. Otherwise they are very friendly and welcoming.

We went for a few days to visit Cape Town with my girlfriend and when we arrived I thought its very far from the city itself, but in the end we realized it was a very good choice.
