WOW is how I would describe this property. Every staff member bent over backwards to make us feel at home. This was an experience I can not wait to redo. I will definitely stay here again.
Fantastic stay. Perfect location. Staff go out of there to make sure that you have the best possible holiday. Very homely welcoming atmosphere make it special.
The perfect Boutique hotel. It is in a great location, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the decor is perfect for Africa. The rooms are very clean and the included breakfast was perfect. The experience could not have been better. We will return when we next visit Cape Town.
Home from home! It was everything you’d wish for and more. The team couldn’t do more for us and made us feel like part of the family. They were always giving us ideas for things to do, places to go and eat. One of the best places we’ve stayed and always warmly welcomed. Loved it. Away from the tourist traps and in a cool spot
Extremely nice staff that went way above and beyond. Included breakfast was excellent and better than what you could find in any restaurant if you went and sat down and ordered avocado toast in my case with salmon. They have lots of staff to make sure the place is secure and everything is taken care of in a timely manner. As for the frequent power outages there were no inconveniences since they have batteries that filled in the outages like they didn’t happen. Very good stay, would choose over a chain since it’s much more personalized and friendly.
The service and staff at Derwent House are exceptional, nothing is too much and the thought that has been taken to make our stay enjoyable is gruels astounding. Everything you need is provided and some of the very thoughtful touches both in your room and in the dining area are so well done. the staff at Derwent house are exceptional, if your going to Cape Town stay here it’s amazing.
