I had an amazing very long stay at The Molteno Guesthouse!
The location is perfect. Waking up every morning to train with Jules was an absolute highlight; his energy, guidance, and encouragement set the tone for the whole day. The house itself is beautiful, full of charm and comfort, with stunning views of Table Mountain. Jules goes above and beyond as a host, and his personal touches, from breakfast recommendations to ensuring every detail is perfect and special. He made this stay unforgettable. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Absolutely one of the best, will definitely stay here next time.
My stay at The Molteno Guesthouse was simply unforgettable! The house is beautifully maintained, blending elegant Victorian charm with modern comfort. The location in Gardens is perfect, close to the beach, nightlife, and walking trails, yet wonderfully peaceful. Julian and the team were warm, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed. I can’t wait to return and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Cape Town!”
