Ficamos em um apto com cozinha separado do predio principal. Com maior privacidade. Boa localização, para chegar à praia somente uma leve caminhada de 5minutos. Optamos por hospedagem sem café da manhã, a diferença do valor compensou muito para comermos em diferentes lugares pela região.

    “Die Lage war super und in Kapstadt Unternehmungen zu starten. Da man ohnehin am Besten alles mit UBER macht ist die leichte Entfernung vom Zentrum kein Problem. Im Gegenteil, sie bietet sogar viel Sicherheit. Die Villa liegt in Seapoint und ist 10 Minuten zu Fuß vom Strand dort entfernt. Mit dem UBER sind es bis zu V&A Waterfront ebenfalls keine 10 Minuten (je nach Verkehr). Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit.”

    “El personal, la ubicación, la comodidad de tener cocina. Todos fueron extremadamente agradables. Si bien no limpian la habitación diariamente, te proveen de todo lo que precises: toallas, agua, papel para el baño... Estuvimos muy felices en este lugar. Además, tiene un pequeño y adorable patio.”

  • Great Location For An Overnight Stay

    RobertSimon · solo traveller · 2026-08-27

    “Excellent location on High Level Road, and easy walk to Regents/Main Road for meetings, shopping, and the beach. The room in the front which I took was large and the bathroom almost as large. It faced the front door and front veranda. The fire at the apartment house one street over gave everyone a fright. But the staff were calm, helpful to the first responders, and let several rest and use the toilets for what became an all night fire suppression exercise. You really can't ask for a better sense of Cape Town than what I saw at the Rose the evening I stayed. Charming old property in a great neighborhood, with an excellent manager and staff.”
