“Our stay was everything we’d hoped for- beautiful, gentle, safe and welcoming - and we are so looking forward to returni”
Welgelegen House is gracious and beautiful, as are its staff. The lounge room, library and dining room invite lingering, as does the front porch with its view over the garden. We arrived on a hot, sunny day and the guest courtyard, with its loungers, umbrellas and small pool, was providing respite for a number of guests. The walk from reception to our room on the 2nd floor highlighted the magic of these Victorian houses, with timber staircases and peeks into other beautifully decorated rooms. Our room and its balcony was at the back of the property with a wonderful view of adjoining houses and Table Mtn. The dream view. The room itself was really lovely and very comfortable without being overly spacious, although the large bathroom and porch with outdoor table and chairs gave an overall feeling of generosity. The location near Kloof St is perfect- easy, safe walking to a fab range of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. The staff of course are incredibly kind and fun - and the whole experience happy, easy and fab.

“Fabulous”
Great, safe, location in a quiet suburb next to Kloof street. Big room, clean and comfortable. The staff were second to none. Memory, Prince and all the staff in the kitchen made our stay perfect. Like a home away from home. Could do enough for us and really went above and beyond. Do not hesitate to book yourself here, we will definitely be back!
