The Greenhouse Guesthouse

Nice place located on Somerset road, old house renovated into a guest house. Can’t really complain too much about the room. Although there was no hair dryer and the WiFi was really not great. DSTV tv channels are included, a small AC, and a small fridge.

The guesthouse is lovely! And the staff really helpful and friendly. The decor is especially lovely. We had a to park our car off site which was a bit of an inconve But it was manageable. Only small cars can fit into the guesthouse parking.

Great little Guest house hotel. Very good location near V&A Easy to find Parking could be difficult if more than 4 cars Gated and secure property Enjoy our stay Would come back

The staff was incredible! Very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Very nice place! The owner took very good care of us, and went out the way to help us out when it was needed. Highly recommended!

Met by Gordon when we checked in. Gordon knows the area and gave us great tips on places to eat and things to do! This is a real plus for us tourists!! Cute boutique hotel at a reasonable price and walking distance to the V&A waterfront and downtown Cape Town!! Clean rooms, comfortable beds and plenty of hot water for a shower. Our room, also had a small refrig, and coffee machine. Would stay there again!!

Had a lovely stay in this guesthouse clean and cozy. Harry is very kind and helpful with all the things you need! Highly recommended! Thank you.

Stayed at Greenhouse for about a week in June and it was a lovely experience. Excellent location on the Main Road, close to the V&A Waterfront, and down the road from cafe's and stores. Barbara and Harry were wonderful hosts who made my colleague and I feel right at home, and were always up for a friendly chat. Rooms were clean and provided everything we needed. There was a microwave on the shared landing, and cutlery and plates were available to take as needed. The room had a mini fridge, and coffee/tea making facilities. The bed was big and comfortable, and the bathroom, while small, was very clean and comfortable. The room was perfect for someone like me who was the only occupant. I also had access to an iron and ironing board, which I appreciated very much. The guesthouse is charming with wooden floors and stained glass doors in the reception, and it was a serene space to be in. My room was at the back which meant I could enjoy the overall quiet and privacy. No breakfast, but seeing as there are multiple excellent cafes and restaurants down the road, this is not a drawback at all. The only point I have is that the wall between my room and the neighboring room was very thin, and I was able to hear certain nightly sounds from the couple occupying that room. Because the bedframe seems to be mounted against the wall in question, drywall if I'm correct, I did feel some movement and vibration. It might be a good idea to inform guests that walls are thin and sound travels. I've seen some reviews mentioning homeless people, but that is the reality of South Africa, no matter the neighborhood, and Barbara and Harry cannot be held responsible for that. They were lovely hosts who were genuinely interested in their guests, and I would certainly recommend Greenhouse to other travellers.

Fabulous location .. as 2 friends we chose a room with 2 separate bedroom areas which suited us well and had a big balcony. Couple of ******* with electrics that Harry quickly sorted. Great base to explore this amazing city
