Derwent House

We had an excellent stay at the Derwent House Boutique Hotel at the start of our trip in South Africa. They are perfectly located to hike Lion's Head or Table Mountain, and an easy walk to a number of great restaurants. We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere in the common areas, and excellent breakfast that is provided by the hotel.

Our stay at Derwent House Boutique Hotel was lovely! The location was central and we could easily catch an Uber to get anywhere we needed to go--inexpensively. You can safely walk to Kloof Street (just a block away) for a variety of restaurants. The accommodations are clean, spacious and decorated in bright African decor. The rooms have a view of iconic Table Mountain. We loved the breakfasts! There was plenty of selection of hot and cold fare, and they accommodated requests. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay in Cape Town! We highly recommend Derwent House!

We selected Derwent House Boutique Hotel initially because of its central location and distinctive African decor & artwork. However, from the moment we walked in the door and were so warmly welcomed by Patience we knew we had found our Cape Town home away from home! We were simply treated like family and nothing was too much trouble. Our room had a direct view of Table Mountain and had everything you needed to make for a comfortable stay and was serviced daily. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and the a l carte menu was a delicious extra bonus. Overall it was the superb staff and relaxed but beautifully curated atmosphere that made our stay so memorable and hope to revisit one day. We’d like to especially thank Patience again and Luca for their kindness and care during our visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
