Friendly and great hospitality. Comfortable, modern, clean and tidy accommodation. We had our own external doors so we could come and go without having to walk through the main house, but we were connected as wel with another door if we needed to. Our room came with a fridge freezer, kettle, coffee machine, sink and a microwave. Loved the swimming pool! Felt secure and safe. We had a car and the area was a perfect base and the driving distance to lots of different restaurants, and roads easily accessible to go to Cape Town Waterfront, Bloubergstrand, Cape Point or Winelands. It feels central to the whole area. Great accommodation and lovely hosts.

Loved the hospitality. The hosts are such lovely people. They always go the extra mile. I've been checking in weekly and this is a lovely home away from home. The room is comfortable and quite stylish. As a young lady, the neighborhood is very safe and the extra effort from Noellien and her husband make is quite reassuring that I am safe and so is my vehicle. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for young ladies traveling alone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Atholl House. The location is lovely, with a great view of Camps Bay beach and its beautiful sunset. Both the room and bathroom were quite spacious and comfortable. The breakfast served was delicious. We couldn't be more satisfied with our selection for the 4-day stay in Cape Town. Additionally, our host, Ani, was exceptionally kind, helpful, and accommodating to our needs.

The great breakfast, the view from our bedroom (see photo), the old movie feeling inside the estate, the eclectic decoration, the adorable “secret forest café” at the bottom of the garden. Simply fantastic. Everybody was so kind and helpful. This was truly a highlight during our trip to Cape Town.
