Devonport House is absolutely stunning, in a peacefull area of Constantia. The grounds and swimming pool are very well maintained. Our room, with a balcony, had beautiful views over the vineyards towards the Franschhoek and Stellenbosch mountains and surpassed our expectations. Jaques and Jennie were the perfect hosts. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly, meeting our needs entirely. The continental breakfast buffet was plentiful and the use of the honesty bar, with refreshments and drinks available throughout the day, was an added bonus. Having the use of a driver to take us wherever we wanted to visit was very useful.

There was nothing to dislike about Devonport House. It was a joy to walk through the vinyard at the end of the garden to the restaurants of the Groot Constantia Wine Estate, especially as the sun was setting. They even have their own resident Peacock, Louis, who regularly came up to the house and gave a magnificent display of his feathers!

Loved everything at Devonport House! Luxurious accommodation with thoughtful and comfortable facilities and exceptional hosts that made our stay blissful. Loved taking a morning vineyard walk through neighbouring Groot Constantia which was followed by a hearty breakfast at Devonport House. Jacques and Jenn catered so well for us with healthy vegetarian and vegan options which we appreciated, especially plant based milk. The little details and gestures such as the provision of an afternoon cake in the lounge and little chocolate at our bedside every night added a personal touch to an already lovely stay. The ambience of their Constantia home, their cute dogs, the magnificent peacock and the stunning garden is ideal for a peaceful and relaxing stay in Cape Town. Every interaction with Jacques, Jenn, Pinto and the rest of the Devonport House team has been so warm and welcoming and they really set the standard as hosts. We will definitely be back.... for longer!

Nothing at all!

Very beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable facilities in a location just above constantia village. Excellent continental breakfast plus complimentary hot drinks at any time. Reasonably priced honesty bar, paid on departure. Laundry service available. Great hosts, efficient but not formal. Appreciate the lifts to local restaurants and sights from their driver ( Pinto). We did not have a hire a car but the lifts provided were offered at a good price, as is uber if you are stuck. Jenn & jacques make you feel totally at home. One evening we did not feel like going out so we ordered in from a local restaurant. Very much appreciated to be able to do this. Special mention to the gorgeous gardens and pool.

You are a little away from the village. A car is advisable.

Dear Jenn and Jacques, I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible stay we had at your beautiful home over the Christmas holidays. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by both of you, and your hospitality truly made our holiday experience memorable. The attention to detail in every aspect of our stay, from the festive decorations to the cozy ambiance, reflected your commitment to creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for your guests. The old-world charm of Davonport House, combined with luxurious touches, made our stay an unforgettable experience. The carefully preserved architecture, tasteful decor, and thoughtfully selected furnishings added a touch of elegance to every corner of the property. The accommodations were not only beautiful but also immaculately clean and well-maintained. However, what truly stood out during our visit was the exceptional kindness and understanding demonstrated by Jenn. We faced some personal issues during our stay, and Jenn's heartwarming response was beyond anything we could have expected. Her genuine concern and efforts to ensure our well-being made a significant impact on us, turning what could have been a challenging time into a moment of warmth and support. It is people like Jenn and Jacques who elevate a stay from merely enjoyable to truly exceptional. Their dedication to providing outstanding service and genuine care for their guests sets a standard that many should aspire to achieve. Once again, thank you, Jenn and Jacques, for creating a home away from home for us during the holiday season. Your warmth and hospitality have left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we look forward to the opportunity to return and experience your incredible hospitality again. Wishing you both continued success and joy in your endeavors. Warm regards David, Lindie, Ané and Naudé.

Jacques and Jenn are outstanding hosts. They put a lot of heart into the accommodation. It was as if they simply enjoyed being with people. They made us feel at home straight away. They gave us lots of tips for our stay in Cape Town and the rest of our route in South Africa. It was the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. The rooms were beautiful, clean and had a cosy bed. The whole house is very stylishly furnished. The breakfast is super tasty, healthy and prepared with lots of love. The surroundings with the vineyards are picturesque. Thank you very much for this great stay. We will come again!

Luxury accommodation close to Great Constantia with a stunning view over the Cape flatlands towards the Blouberge. Only Table Mountain or Signal Hill can beat it. Nothing is missing. From a large pool to the pool billiard, coffee machines for easy use, spacey rooms, lively garden (with Louis, the peacock 🦚). Nicely presented breakfast, freshly prepared with love and tender care at the time of your request. Top class ingredients. Jenn and Jacques are marvellous hosts doing everything to make your stay even more comfortable than you would imagine. So do their staff members. They have so much to offer. If we could do another Mothercity stay, Devonport House would be our first choice. We felt safe and at home.

We picked this guesthouse to be able to stay within a short drive/walk from Constantia and the area. The owners were friendly and welcoming, we had a room with a nice outline, which had all we needed, incl. vanity set and hairdryer in the bathroom, nice courtesy tray in the room and enough space for our luggage. The breakfast was rather good, we enjoyed decent coffee - and there was a nice selection of wines for the evening. Would definitely stay here again.

The location (and setting) was excellent, and room layout was very appealing and luxurious (the electric blankets were especially appreciated during the cold winter snap). The breakfast(s) spread were very good too, with an array of options. We especially loved the fruit and yogurt mix. Jacques and Jenny were absolutely delightful and very hospitable.

Cannot think of anything.

An gorgeous property and a very comfortable and spacious room and bathroom. The views from the room were stunning. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful and the staff friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a wander through neighbouring vineyards to Groot Constantia. Thanks to Jacques for a lovely stay.

Maybe the weather, but that is nobody's fault.

Beautiful guest house in lovely setting. Jaques and Jenn were amazing hosts- so welcoming and helpful with arranging restaurants and driver and also giving recommendations for our next stay. Constantia is beautiful. Walk through vineyards to Groot Constantia out of the back garden is an added bonus. I would not hesitate to recommend this guest house. The house is beautifully decorated also , with lovely sitting areas .
