Avoid staying at this property - they have a tiny note in their terms that they don’t accept children, and then refused to get in touch afterwards to provide a settlement - we lost our entire booking fee. We noted the room was resold so essentially they’ve taken 2 fees from our misfortune. Found them to be totally unhelpful and rude, just find somewhere else better to stay in Seapoint!!

The private balcony room was great for a coffee or wine in the afternoon sun but was directly off the breakfast room, so you may be awoken by people. The owners gave incredible tips for the area that we kept using even after we finished our stay. The local area is great and never felt unsafe

Wee gem in Sea Point

We loved our stay at Villa Costa Rose. The staff are incredibly helpful. The garden/pool is a tranquil haven. Our room was really comfortable and we were upgraded to a room with balcony which was a surprise. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Lovely Guest House

I recently stayed at Villa Costa Rose for one night with my partner. Neil was warm and welcoming when we arrived and kindly offered us a room upgrade which was appreciated after our long flight. Room was very comfortable and clean, with a complimentary bottle of wine. Breakfast was delicious. The outdoor and pool area was a very relaxing place to enjoy our coffee. The staff had excellent knowledge of the area & were very helpful answering all our questions. You would not be disappointed staying here and I would love to stay again one day.

Perfect location, lovely B&B

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Costa Rose very much. The location was perfect: close to the water and we took lots of walks along the waterfront. There were some of the best restaurants in Cape Town within walking distance, perfect for the foodies that we are. Breakfast here was very satisfying with a selection of cheese, cured meats, fresh fruit, (loved the huge strawberries,) cereals, yogurt, bacon & sausage and pancakes/eggs made to order.
The room was lovely and very clean. We slept really well in the cozy bed. The free wifi was fast.
Out back there was a pool, shaded lounging area and a few tables and chairs. It was wonderful to be able to eat our breakfast outdoors in the fresh air and morning sunshine. There was also plenty of seating inside.
Our hosts were enthusiastic and helpful. Upon arrival we were given a map and lots of information on the neighborhood. They were available to help us with our questions. Overall a very positive experience. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Good choice!

Stayed 4 nights (27th to 30th December) B&B well located (in quiet one-way street) for V&A centre, easy reach of CT centre and within walking distance of several eateries. Clean, tidy, air-conditioned room with fridge, TV (but with limited channels) and own small balcony. Good choice of breakfast which can be served inside or on the patio. free Wi-Fi. Helpful owners, Rob and Neil, who will assist with restaurant recommendations and for those unfamiliar with CT, places to visit. Excellent value.

Only downside was an occasional 'yappy dog' next door.

Nice place, friendly and very accommodating staff. Bed was very comfortable and the courtyard was cute. Bathroom could be a bit bigger, but was clean and sufficient. Loved the hotel and room decorations including genuine, modern artwork. Walking distance to some restaurants/bars and the boardwalk. Good location via cab to beaches and waterfront.

Our room left a lot to be desired. Our bed was 190 cm as was the duvet. My feet hung over the edge as I am 193cm. In this day and age such short beds!

The latch on the bathroom door was broken so the door kept swinging open. Great when you sit on the WC. The window could not be locked, so I could not leave my camera behind when we went out to dinner. Heating / airco did not work. Toilet seat was loose.

The floor is painted concrete (needs a new coat of paint). This makes the B&B very noisy when some guests come in late at night. Two not so clean looking mats complete the furnishing. Owner says thats the concrete floors are for hypoallergenic reasons. In 35 years of travel I have never come across this. I believe its just to cut costs. Just clean properly! Fridge was noisy which disturbed our sleep and there was some sticky goo (!) in the freezer. It was also leaking.

The receptionist was friendly and helpful as were the staff. The breakfast was good and the dining is nicely furnished. Some might not like it as it is predominantly dark purple.

Splendid stay!

Neil and Rob are very pleasant and professional. Breakfast was a very nicely presented buffet with good variety. There is also a very comprehensive area booklet in the room with all varieties f recommendations and helpful information. The rooms and decor of the entire hotel is very sophisticated and soothing. The local area is great for walking to restaurants or drinks. Rob made reservations for us a couple of times and we were never disappointed. I would highly recommend staying in this hotel, if not for the hospitality of the owners, but the location in Sea Point is perfect! I would definitely stay here again if I visit Cape Town in the future.

Great stay overall

Perfect location. Great host. Tastefully decorated guest house. The restaurant recommendations they had really helped and were very accurate. Pool was wonderful. The only complaint we have is the breakfast was not up to the expectation. Very limited choices. Fresh cut fruits available but you have to peel it yourself. This is the only reason to award 4 star to otherwise wonderful stay.

A great find

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Great setting a little bit away from the hubbub of downtown, but close to the beach, shops, and the hop-on hop-off bus. The owners were helpful, and arranged an airport pickup for me, which was very helpful after a late night arrival from an international flight. The room was simple and convenient. Breakfast was excellent. They also have space to store luggage and take a shower, if your departure takes place after normal check-out time. Would stay here again in a minute!

Three freinds and I stayed at Villa costa rose for two nights in August. The guesthouse is small but cozy. Like the super friendly owner and staff, as well as the breakfast.

Everything is perfect, except the room is a bit cold for me, though there is a heater or a air-conditioner in every room. Besides, the wifi could be a bit faster. :-)

Overall this guesthouse is wonderful and value for money.

We enjoyed 8 nights there with delicious breakfasts and personal care. Our gracious hosts did everything they could to make our time a memorable joy. My question is why anyone would rate it less than excellent and outstanding.

The deluxe room with jacuzzi tub was the best! We know without question this will be our home whenever we are in Cape Town.

We loved Villa Costa Rose!

The men who run the place are incredibly hospitable - they really have their act together. They personally greeted us and left a complimentary bottle of wine and World Cup souveniers in each guest's room. Niel, one of the owners, checked in with every guest at breakfast in the morning to see how their stay was going and spent a lot of time helping us plan our day trips to wine country and around Cape Town. The breakfast was incredible - french pressed coffee each morning! The location was perfect, and the room was very nice. I can't recommend this highly enough!

Liebevoll geführtes Guest House

Wir haben uns in diesem Guest House sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist gemütlich eingerichtet und sauber. Die Zimmer sind zwar relativ klein, aber trotzdem ausreichend. Da es im Bad keinen Duschvorhang gibt (weil die Besitzer Duschvorhänge nicht mögen), ist das Bad nach dem Duschen leider immer komplett nass, was wir nicht so gerne mochten. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und kann innen oder außen genossen werden. Leider gibt es draußen nur drei 2-er Tische. Die Besitzer Neil und Rob sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.In wenigen Minuten ist man an der Sea Point Promenade, auf der man in Richtung Süden bis Bantry Bay und Richtung Norden bis zur Waterfront, ungestört von Autos, gehen kann.An der nahen Main Road liegen diverse Restaurants und Bars - je nach Geschmack. Wir können dieses Guest House weiterempfehlen.
