Perfect Gettaway in Seapoint
Simply an amazing guesthouse. Quiet Cape Town Suburbia, beautiful pool, cozy, clean room with everything you need. The honesty tuck shop and bar were a great touch.

Great BnB in quiet area
Perfect for a quiet stay in Cape Town. The host is extremely helpful and friendly. The location is in walking distance to the boardwalk, restaurants and shops.

You won't be disappointed!
Very friendly staff and owner. Set in a very green and quiet area overlooking signal hill and lions head. Still only a short walk to the restaurants and bars of sea point. Overall excellent. Very clean and the pool was well kept. Would strongly recommend! Thank you Maarten

I enjoyed my stay at Maarten’s guest house. Maarten was very friendly. The guest house is in a safe area and the room was clean. I would stay here again if I were to visit Cape Town in the near future.
Verified traveler
Lovely Guesthouse. Maarten was very welcoming and advised us lots of places to eat. He also let us leave our luggage and stay around the pool for the afternoon while we waited to leave for our flight back to the UK. Lovely view from the balcony, which we loved.

Welcoming & friendly
Maarten & staff were very welcoming & helpful. Breakfast catered for all nationalities. They gave us tips on where to visit & eat. We enjoy walking so their distance from shops & eateries were not a problem. Large choice of restaurants/cafes.

Nice guesthouse in a quiet part of town
Away from the busy part of the town, but it is easy to walk down to restaurants and shops.
Great breakfast on a rooftop terrace with views of the ocean.

A peaceful haven on the hills
Maarten's Guesthouse was a breath of fresh air after the long activity packed days my mum and I had planned! Our trip was during low season, so the house was quiet, but still pleasant. Its the small things that count - a well stocked fridge with beverages, snacks, personalized notes, and an invitation to help ourselves to the kitchen after a late evening arrival without the hassle of leaving the comfort of \"home\". Maarten really went out of his way to make our stay wonderful. I hurt my foot one morning and he rushed - on his own accord - to the pharmacy to get me a brace. This truly was a peaceful haven on the hills!

Great stay in Fresnaye.
Maarten was very welcoming and informative. Breakfasts were superb. Pool whilst small was perfectly formed and warm! Hour and 20 minutes leisurely walk to V and A was enjoyable.

Wonderful, quiet,safe,clean and beautiful
Cathryn
A most welcoming and comfortable guest house.
Maarten's Guest House was a wonderful find! The host was most welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts included fresh fruit, a selection of fresh rolls and eggs cooked to order, served by cheerful staff. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. There was secure parking on the premises for our car and I liked staying in a residential neighborhood where we could walk down the hill to a shopping area and restaurants about 10 minutes away.
Bridget
Great guesthouse in Sea Point
We had such a great time staying here. Maarten and his staff were so accommodating. It's a perfect location and very well maintained. We will definitely be coming back!

Excellent, although come in a rental car
Excellent place to base yourself in Cape Town, although the guesthouse is situated at the top of a fairly steep hill so I would advise organising a rental car prior to arriving (taxis can be called to pick you up though) ... walking is possible but quite tiring, and Fresnaye isn't really near downtown Cape Town so you will inevitably get taxis.

Très bon accueil très bon endroit
Gros hic hôtel.com vous annonce un prix petit déjeuner inclus et l hôtel vous demande de payer, pour moi il s’agit d une arnaque probablement de hôtels.com je verrai avec le patron demain et je donnerai le résultat pour l’instant je considère avoir été trompé et je vous déconseille cet endroit. Pour le reste tout était excellent et je reviendrai peut-être sur ma décision demain et je vous ferai part du résultat

Maarten hat uns super Tipps gegeben und sein persönlicher Einsatz ist hervorragend. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist gut, ruhig und doch fussläufig zu Restaurants (10min) , auch Abends kein Problem, 3 Parkplätze im Grundstück, First come.... Zimmer im EG war ok, Bett bequem, Fön und Safe vorhanden, Dusche mit kraftvollem Wasserstrahl, Frühstück ist gut , bei schlechtem Wetter drinnen , bei gutem Wetter draußen , Pool vorhanden, haben wir nicht genutzt.

It is a very good lodge. Airport shuttle service is so comfortable. However, wifi is only available in a lobby.

Erstbesuch in Cape Town
Maarten, unser Gastgeber, war sehr aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit. Er gab uns viele Tipps für unseren ersten Besuch in Cape Town und sorgte so auch für bleibende Eindrücke. Der Empfang in seinem Haus war überaus freundlich, ja beinahe familiär. Unser Zimmer war das kleinste des Hauses, worauf uns Maarten in Vorfeld mehrfach hinwies, trotzdem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, da es sehr praktisch und neu eingerichtet war. Die Ungebung ist relativ sicher und man kann duraus auch Abends zu Fuß die nahegelegene Gastronomie aufsuchen. Den anschließenden Verdauungsspaziergang gibts Gratis dazu, da Maartens Guesthouse am Hang des Signal Hill liegt :)

Me senti em casa
Já estava me sentindo bem vinda desde antes de chegar à Guesthouse. Maarten e Conchita são extremamente atenciosos, sempre se certificando de que a gente estava bem, emprestando mapas e dando ótimas dicas de passeios! O café da manhã é delicioso e apesar de nosso quarto ficar ao lado da cozinha, não tivemos qualquer problema com isso! dormi muito bem lá! Recomendo!

Excelente localização no Sea Point. Equipe atenciosa assim como o host Maarten. Café da manhã ótimo, mas que poderia variar durante os dias. Foi idêntico nos 9 dias que passamos.

주인이 아주 친절합니다.
104과 105번 버스를 이용해서 숙소까지 걸어왔는데
15분 정도 오르막 길을 걸어 올라가야 합니다.
차를 렌트하거나 우버를 이용하시는 분들에게는 괜찮은 숙소인 것 같습니다.

perfect guesthouse, perfect host
Ons verblijf bij Maartens guesthouse was perfect! Een fijn guesthouse met mooie kamers(sommige met prachtige uitzicht op zee). Het is klein en huiselijk maar je krijgt een top service van Maarten en zijn crew! Ontbijt is heerlijk met fruit, ei naar keuze en verse broodjes! Een mooi zwembad om na een dag kaapstad even te relaxen. Het guesthouse ligt in de mooie wijk fresnay waar je op loopafstand mooie restaurants hebt in elke prijsklasse. Ook de opstap naar de hop on bus is op loopafstand! We hebben een auto gehuurd die je gratis kunt parkeren bij het guesthouse en waarmee je binnen 10 minuten bij de Tafelberg bent! Maarten is een fijne gastheer die veel tips heeft over zowel kaapstad al de verdere omgeving! Een aanrader voor iedereen die kaapstad wil ontdekken! Een B&b met een vijf sterren service wat ons betreft
