Very beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable facilities in a location just above constantia village. Excellent continental breakfast plus complimentary hot drinks at any time. Reasonably priced honesty bar, paid on departure. Laundry service available. Great hosts, efficient but not formal. Appreciate the lifts to local restaurants and sights from their driver ( Pinto). We did not have a hire a car but the lifts provided were offered at a good price, as is uber if you are stuck. Jenn & jacques make you feel totally at home. One evening we did not feel like going out so we ordered in from a local restaurant. Very much appreciated to be able to do this. Special mention to the gorgeous gardens and pool.

The beds at this property are so soft and the rooms super spacious and comfortable, just what we needed after a very long flight with jet lag, and for a 5 night stay. The location is perfect for shopping, eateries and vineyards, which are all close by, and it has very easy motorway access to visit the waterfront (north) or the beaches (south and west). The swimming pool was inviting and off-road parking and security most welcomed. The lovely housemade washed and ironed my clothes too, such a treat. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
