The location is excellent, situated in a quiet and safe area that easily connects you to various parts of the city. Moreover, Roodenburg House has a fantastic team, with a special mention to Steven for his professionalism and excellence.

One of the first aspects that did not meet my expectations was the view from the room (Mountain Suite), as it unfortunately does not offer a good view of the mountain as expected. Another factor is the breakfast, which lacks variety and is served in portions that can sometimes be insufficient.

I did not expect my stay to be so grand. My room was luxurious. The house provides books, boardgames and DVD's (there is a DVD player in the room). I must also say that this is one of the few places I've stayed that actually provided a good desk and chair for laptop use. Most other places give you a small or no desk, which is far away from any plugs. But here, everything was set up to actually function easily. I also enjoyed the in house bar.

In house bar wasn't replenished during my two week stay, so we ran out of soda.

The staff were most helpful, polite and could not do enough to make me feel welcome. I loved the luxury suite I stayed in with its beautiful bath and private little patio and the breakfast was superb and very well presented. Although on the main road, the place is quiet and it is a bonus to have a full suite of television programmes to watch in the relaxing, comfortable room.

I looked for cold, sparkling water in the Honesty bar but could not find any there. But that is a small thing in comparison with all that was good at Roodenburg House.

I booked for a friend. He found the place very clean, and Philip & Steven were very friendly and accommodating. When we needed to extend the stay by one night it was very easy, they changed the room for us and made it happen. Self check out was also easy as I had to collect my friend for an early flight, so they organized a cold breakfast for the early morning. Thank you Philip, Steve and the Roodenburg team!

The WiFi signal wasn't very stable, and the location of the entrance gate can be confusing for drivers; they tend to end up next door because it's oddly situated very close to an intersection on Campground Rd

Breakfast was lovely although I think that Philip is under a lot of pressure to get breakfast out on time when there are a few customers, especially with loadshedding. The fruit and English breakfast are great but perhaps just a eg croissant with jam would buy some time while preparing the cooked breakfast. And possibly a tea/ coffee station in the dining room where people could just help themselves would also help with timing. But otherwise, Philip and Steven were great and very helpful and friendly at all times. The honesty bar was appreciated. It would be great to have a few snacks as part of the offering but I understand that the ‘honesty’ part can be problematic. The efforts to mitigate during loadshedding, especially keeping WiFi running were greatly appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Not being able to have supper in-house is a bit frustrating (it does still have this as an option on the website). I did order Uber eats a couple of times but the bedroom is not conducive to eating and can be a bit messy without proper utensils etc. Philip did readily agree that we could eat takeaways in the dining room if we ordered again. Being able to have a simple in-house supper would be helpful especially when staying for a while (I stayed for a week). My daughter spent 2 nights with me and I found the additional R500/ night for a second person in the room excessive.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was neat and clean with really comfortable beds. The bathroom was well-equipped and spotless. Max went out of her way to ensure we could arrive earlier than the standard check-in time. The property felt safe and secure.

I would have preferred that there was no TV in the breakfast room but that’s a personal preference.

I really liked the accommodation : I stayed in The Birds of Paradise suite and, although it was a bit noisy because of the traffic below and little children's intermittent playground chatter/sounds from Rondebosch Primary school, the accommodation and space superseded these small "glitches". The room was clean, linen was fresh and crisp .....the bath towels could have been a bit bigger ...

Everything was fine....

The guesthouse is very nice, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was very neat and had everything we needed, just would have liked it to be on the ground floor for the dog. Breakfast was wonderful and the area outside was very nice and there was a park nearby to take the dog for a walk.

The room not being on the ground floor for the dog. Overall everything else was very good.

A beautifully located gem of a hotel guesthouse. Beautifully appointed rooms. Easy access to the City by car or taxi service. Secure Parking. Exquiste first class hospitality. To the team, Philip and Steven, thank you for gifting me with such a warmhearted stay.

Nothing

Very well located and within easy access to all Southern suburbs and to the Waterfront. The staff are just amazing and so friendly and helpful. The rooms are very cosy and confortablt.

Perhaps the carpets need a littel clean. They were by no means unacceptable but had a few markd that could be cleaned
