    cozy setup
    helpful host
    great location
    stair access

    The stay at Greenhouse Guesthouse was quite comfortable. The Budget Triple Room offered a cozy setup, perfect for a family. The apartment was well-equipped, featuring a fully functional kitchen that made meal prep easy. The close proximity to the V&A Waterfront was a big plus. it took only a short walk to reach the area filled with shops and restaurants. A big shoutout to the host, Gordon, who always responded promptly to queries and was genuinely helpful. The unit felt secure, and the peaceful ambiance was appreciated. On the downside, the numerous stairs can be challenging for anyone with knee issues, especially if rooms are located upstairs. Overall, the charming accommodations and convenient location made it enjoyable despite the minor inconvenience of the stairs.

    limited facilities
    small room

    No lift to the reception makes it troublesome for those with knee issues!!! The air conditioning leaks and there's no generator for load shedding. Room a bit cramped with limited space for luggage!!!

    great value

    Just a perfect match for a fleeting trip in Cape Town with outstanding value for money. The hot shower was a nice touch after a long day exploring the city. Watch out for the narrow stairways if you're bringing luggage.

    helpful owner
    worn mattress

    Mr. Harry, the owner, was incredibly hospitable and always ready to share local tips that enhanced our experience.

    The mattress in our room felt a bit worn out, making it less comfortable for a good night's sleep.

    great location
    narrow stairs

    Cozy stay with a touch of home!

    I loved the friendly vibe! The host made me feel super welcome right away. The room was really comfy and decorated nicely. I enjoyed chilling in the cozy living area and cooking in the equipped kitchen. Also, the outdoor dining area was perfect for breakfast! Just a heads up, some stairs can be tricky with big bags.

    minor inconvenience

    The Small Double Room was surprisingly spacious and super clean, which made my stay wonderful. The bed was comfy, perfect for relaxing after exploring Cape Town. Just a heads up, the stairs can be a bit narrow if you're lugging around big bags, but that was a minor inconvenience.

    Highly recommend for families

    Had a great stay for 8 nights the hosts were helpful and nice. Judith was pure gold always making sure we were good and even remembered our favorite snacks from the first day.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain but it was worth it for the experience.
