This is a beautiful and exquisite hotel, walking into the door is attracted by the careful arrangement of every place, the room is very clean, the bed is very comfortable, the hotel owner is very warm, friendly, the staff is in place, the hotel location is very good, to the city center and the water front are very close, I like it very much, I will stay here next time I come to Cape Town.

We stayed for 8 nights at the Greenhouse a small friendly guesthouse ,we loved the location short walk or uber to the V&A waterfront, plenty of restaurants near hotel as well a a shopping mall with food outlets 5 minutes away, guesthouse was very secure , room was very spacious and clean with a small kitchen area which was ideal, We arrived late and were very tired after our long flight and Gordon helped us check in helping us with our bags , Harry and Barbara the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly giving information and advice on were to go and how to get to places...Must mention the lovely Judith who was so very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble ,she is an absolute gem and a great asset to the Greenhouse Guesthouse . If we ever get to Cape Town again we would not hesitate to stay at the Greenhouse Guesthouse

The room was quite spacious, with big private bathroom and kitchen, equipped with all necessities and clean! Location is perfect to go around the city - close to VA, but also city center and very convenient in case of commuting anywhere further. What we appreciate the most though, was the hospitality of Judith in reception ☺️ She was always extremely kind and helpful, giving us tips and recommendations with huge smile, it made our stay even more like “at home”. Thank you very much!!
We only had a window in the kitchen, it would be nice to have it also in the room, but it wasn’t bothering us

The guesthouse is located within walking distance to many eateries, V&A Waterfront 800m or so, food market, laundry, Shopping Mall and a beautiful Catholic Church just a short walk away (400m) from the guesthouse. The guesthouse is managed by a lovely couple Harry and Barbara who went the extra mile to make our stay wonderful. Tours were arranged for us. Staff were helpful. Rooms were clean daily. Facilities, there is a kitchen in the room which comes in handy and really good for Families, Couples and Group of Friends who enjoy cooking their own meals. There is no swimming pool at the guesthouse, Overall it was a lovely place to stay in Green Point, Cape Town, South Africa.
There are no lift to get to the reception. One has to walk up the stairs. For people with knee problem, it might be a hassle going up and down the stairs.

The hospitality, friendliness and warm welcome of the staff ( Judith and the owner) was exceptional; the beds super comfortable and rooms very roomy and very quiet. The location is superb. Within 17 min walking distance to the waterfront and if not walking a quick and affordable Uber drive .
The stairs was an initial concern, but the staff carried our luggage up and down, and even my dad with a walker had no difficulty with it.

My stay at this Airbnb was absolutely wonderful! The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The space itself was immaculate - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the cozy living area and the fully equipped kitchen, which allowed me to prepare some of my own meals during my stay. The location was also fantastic, with easy access to all the top attractions and sights in the area. I was able to walk to several great restaurants and shops nearby. The host provided lots of helpful local recommendations that really enhanced my trip. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this Airbnb. The combination of the lovely accommodations, the gracious host, and the convenient location made for an absolute dream stay. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area - it's a true gem! I hope to have the chance to return again soon."

Everything about our stay here was amazing! Harry and Barbara are the kindest hosts who will go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Harry even went through the trouble of driving us to the waterfront instead of us needing to walk. We needed to check in early and they were very accommodating with this request, and the room was already made up and ready when we got there. The location is superb, close to every attraction we wanted to see and to the restaurants. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the beds are very comfy. The drinks fridge at the entrance is such a convenient touch to be able to get last minute waters, wine etc. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Cape Town!
Have no complaints!

Excellent stay at Greenhouse Guesthouse, exactly what we needed for 4 nights in Cape Town. Really good value for money - the room was very clean and larger than expected. The staff were really helpful and it always felt very safe. Used Ubers (super cheap) to get around and there was parking right outside which made that really easy to get picked up. We went on a few out of town trips too and transfer taxis found the property really easy to pick us up. It was just a few minutes taxi ride from V&A harbour and under 15 minutes from everywhere else we wanted to visit in the city.
Nothing, it was all good.

The location was too die for we walked to wherever we wanted to even V&A WATERFRONT 💞🧡🤗and the DHL CAPE TOWN STADIUM. The owner Mr HARRY was soo friendly and funny he opted to call me Sipho as if I am a Male🤣🤣💖Judith thanks for the warm welcoming and taking pics of us we missed you over the weekend lol. To the cleaning staff I think it's Lona &Rosa not sure lo e you ladies stay as friendly as you are 🧡💞 We made noise and came back at our own time and no1 came to tell us to lower the noise or something and they did not knock at us when it was check out time they waited for us🙏💞
Lol just slight 2 things. 1.One the lights were out just after 20 minutes of us checking in but was fixed in the next morning The guy came and fixed it even though we were dressing lol it was funny as we did not mind him. 2.Gordin the Manager we called him about hot water when we checked in and he said there's nothing he can do as it is part of the lights not working woow don't like him even though we did not see him but he is not friendly.

We had a lovely and spacious room, triple with shower and small kitchenette area with a small table, 2 chairs and 2 bamboo armchairs. The big window made the difference. Staff is very nice, especially Judith at the front desk who is very polite and helpful. The area looks safe and has some restaurant choices within 5-10min walk.
Only the fact that in the kitchenette there was no small sink to wash our cups or fill in the kettle and no paper towels.
