de Tafelberg Guesthouse

We stayed in so many wonderful guesthouses that I can't even pick a favorite but de Tafelberg in Cape Town might be it.  Ann and Kris (the owners) were extremely helpful in setting up dinners for us in advance, calling cabs, and giving us advice on what to see in Cape Town.

De Tafelberg is located in the Oranjezicht area of Cape Town at the base of Table Mountain.  The guesthouse is decorated beautifully.  Our room was on the lower floor and opened out onto the pool area.

Breakfast was served every morning from 8 am to 10 am and was delicious.  Many different things to choose from and Ann and Kris will cook bacon, eggs, and other breakfast foods to order.  There's also meats, cheeses, yogurts, several different kinds of juices, and cereals.

There is fenced in parking so you don't have to worry about anything being taken out of your car overnight.

There is an honor bar that offers wine and cold drinks that was very convenient for an after dinner drink or a cool drink in the afternoon.

Our favorite part is the little cabana out by the pool.  You can use it to lounge around in when the sun becomes too hot during the day or to have a drink or read a book at night.

I really can't say enough about this place and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town.
