Person minding the guest house was not present for check in despite having been told what time we would arrive and that time being within their check in window. We waited for close to an hour to get in. She was very sweet and obliging but we barely ever saw her after checking in. No help in terms of advice for our stay in Cape Town etc. Very comfortable accommodation though.
