Trevoyan Guest House

We stayed at the Trevoyan guest house for 2 nights in January. We had no expectations, other than a few tourist sites and a rest after a safari trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe, before returning home. To say we were overwhelmed from the start is an understatement. The guesthouse is in a perfect location, with the best restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The property is really beautiful, with amazing decor throughout and every detail is carefully considered. Breakfast was excellent with the friendly staff attending to every need. What was outstanding and sets the property apart from 5 star hotels was the genuine welcome, the hospitality, the helpful staff and the relaxed fun atmosphere. Charles is a most amazing host and his team could not have been more accommodating, including walking us to local restaurants and back and pointing out points of interest along the way. Shortly after we arrived our itinerary was sorted with expert guidance from Charles and we packed so much into 3 days - Robben Island, the Farmers Market, a day trip to Babylonstoren and Franschhoek and on the last day a trip (not to be missed) to Chapmans Peak. We were not brave enough to take out the courtesy car and were blown away by a drive along the Peak arranged by Charles. We cannot thank Charles, Dominique and their team enough for a wonderful stay in their beautiful guest house and city. We highly recommend it and will be back. Geraldine and Michael

My husband and I have just spent a wonderful three night stay at The Trevoyan Guest House. On arrival we were greeted by Charles and instantly wowed by the beautiful Victorian house lovingly restored and curated to provide the most gorgeous home stay style experience. The garden, with an enormous aged oak tree centre stage, was a serene, restful place to enjoy the sun by the pool and hidden away from the street, providing a peaceful oasis amid bustling Capetown city. From the first, nothing was too much trouble for Charles, Dominique and their lovely staff. Breakfast in the sunroom was a delight of fresh, healthy options and in the evening, the inviting lounge area provided a cosy ambience with a log fire and an honesty system that enabled you to select and enjoy the drink of choice whilst reading or enjoying the company of other guests. The guesthouse is centrally located on a bus route and within very easy walking distance of numerous restaurants or a short Uber ride to many more. And if you don’t want to leave the confines of ‘home’, a takeaway is only a phone-call away. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated reflecting not only Trevoyan’s Victorian heritage but the thoughtful decorating skills of the owner. An electric blanket turned on at turn down provided a cosy welcome to bed on the cool evenings. There is even the option of a small car rental available at the guesthouse. A stay at Trevoyan won’t disappoint. Trevoyan Guesthouse come very highly recommended

Very lovingly run accommodation, extremely quiet, owner with his small dog (called, I think Peanuts - I have baptized in but shade) almost always on site. We got a lot of good tips. All staff very friendly and accommodating. A house to feel good - absolute recommendation.
