Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be restrictive for guests arriving on late flights or with evening plans.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, so guests traveling with animals will need to make other arrangements.
- Some distance from the city centre — While the quiet suburb is a plus, it means a 15-minute drive to Cape Town's downtown and the waterfront. The V&A Waterfront is also a drive away, not a walk.
