What a WONDERFUL experience!!
We stayed at Devonport House for 3 nights in March 2024.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home, warmly welcomed and shown around the beautiful house and grounds.
Our large room had a beautiful view overlooking the pool and countryside beyond. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with a very large, extremely comfortable bed and lovely en-suite bathroom and dressing area.
Breakfast in the dining area or outside on the veranda was fresh and delicious including Gluten free options. Complimentary tea and cake were available later in the day.
Jenn and Jacques were wonderful hosts and couldn’t have been kinder. Jacques even drove to several pharmacies on the day we left to find a supplement for us that we couldn’t get in the UK. We thoroughly enjoyed their company. Their presence gave us a feeling of being guests in somebody’s home whilst at the same time enjoying the facilities and efficient, smooth running of a stay in a boutique hotel.
We only wish we could have stayed longer.
Thank you Jenn and Jacques. We will definitely be back if/when we next come to South Africa.
Best wishes, Anne and Nigel

EXCEPTIONAL!!!!
Dear Jenn and Jacques, I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible stay we had at your beautiful home over the Christmas holidays. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by both of you, and your hospitality truly made our holiday experience memorable. The attention to detail in every aspect of our stay, from the festive decorations to the cozy ambiance, reflected your commitment to creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for your guests. The old-world charm of Devonport House, combined with luxurious touches, made our stay an unforgettable experience. The carefully preserved architecture, tasteful decor, and thoughtfully selected furnishings added a touch of elegance to every corner of the property. The accommodations were not only beautiful but also immaculately clean and well-maintained. However, what truly stood out during our visit was the exceptional kindness and understanding demonstrated by Jenn. We faced some personal issues during our stay, and Jenn's heartwarming response was beyond anything we could have expected. Her genuine concern and efforts to ensure our well-being made a significant impact on us, turning what could have been a challenging time into a moment of warmth and support. It is people like Jenn and Jacques who elevate a stay from merely enjoyable to truly exceptional. Their dedication to providing outstanding service and genuine care for their guests sets a standard that many should aspire to achieve. Once again, thank you, Jenn and Jacques, for creating a home away from home for us during the holiday season. Your warmth and hospitality have left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we look forward to the opportunity to return and experience your incredible hospitality again. Wishing you both continued success and joy in your endeavors. Warm regards David, Lindie, Ané and Naudé.

This place is stunning, every room is the highest of standards, the staff super friendly and helpful and Jack kept us up to date throughout this tricky time. When we return to South Africa to continue our trip we would love to base ourselves here, it’s magnificent. Thanks for the hospitality.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit direktem Blick auf den Tafelberg. Gutes Frühstück und sehr freundliches Personal (Prudence und Grant). Jacques ist ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber. Er gab uns gute Tipps für Ausflüge in die Weinregion, Golf usw. Wir haben uns extrem wohl gefühlt und werden mit Sicherheit wieder kommen.

A must stay in Cape Town! 11/10
Excellent location in Cape Town, safe and quiet. Beautiful guesthouse, warm and inviting. Modern and comfortable clean room, water and chocolate everyday. Breakfast is rich with a huge variety. Jacques is an amazing attentive and kind host. He is extremely friendly and helped us plan our days activities and offered excellent restaurant recommendations, better than what my husband has chosen previously :)) He even made bookings for us and also directed us with recommendations where to buy some souvenirs we have desired...thanks Jacque! We had a great time in Cape Town and would definitely recommend Devonport House. Looking forward to visit/meet again! Era and Ari

Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die uns viele Tipps gegeben und Restaurants gebucht haben. Die Lage ist sehr gut, da ruhig, mit tollem Ausblick auf die Stadt, die Berge und trotzdem zentral. Mit Uber waren wir in wenigen Minuten in Zielen in Kapstadt unterwegs. Das Mietauto haben wir nur für weitere Ausflüge gebraucht. Netflix ist vorhanden. Wir haben uns in den 14 Tagen schnell wie zu Hause gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Ruhige Wohlfühloase
Die Zimmer waren super sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Es gab kleine Aufmerksamkeiten wie eine Kaffeemaschine, eine kleine Flasche Rotwein, Kekse zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit, usw.. Das Frühstück war qualitativ exzellent, das Beste bisher von allen Unterkünften in Südafrika. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben super Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflüge gegeben. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können die Unterkunft jedem wärmstens empfehlen.

Amazing stay in Cape Down at Devonport House
The property was exceptionally clean, felt extremely safe and secure and is in a great location within approx 10 mins from the V&A Waterfront. Jacques (the owner) was super helpful with local restaurant recommendations and activities to do in the local area. Jacques staff were attentive but not intrusive and extremely smiley every morning which was fantastic. Breakfast was fresh and delicious with a variety of options from cereals and pastries to avocado and salmon. The bedrooms are large. We would highly recommend staying here and put it on a par with top hotels in South Africa such as Strandloper and The Rectory.

+++ zeer zeker de moeite waard 😊
Locatie was top, rustig gelegen in degelijke buurt. Rustige mooie tuin met zicht op de Tafelberg. Lekker ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel en zeer aangename gastheer. Zeer gezellig verblijf om vandaaruit excursies te doen zowel als even thuis op adem bij te komen. Aanrader!

uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!
Wir waren 5 Nächte im Devonport House und können dieses Guesthouse nur empfehlen. Ruhige Lage mit Blick auf den Tafelberg. Die Zimmer sind super sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir haben ruhig und sehr gut geschlafen. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und gut. Es gibt keine warmen Speisen wie Eier etc. - dafür leckeren Nespresso Kaffee. Im Frühstücksbereich/Aufenthaltsraum steht ganztägig frisches Obst, Kekse, Kaffee und Tee bereit. Das Personal ist durchweg super freundlich und hat immer ein Strahlen im Gesicht. Jaques, der Inhaber, steht mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und hilft wo er kann - gerne wieder!

Prachtige uitvalsbasis met zicht op de Tafelberg !
Prachtige kamer met terras en mooi uitzicht, alle comfort en superrustig! Overheerlijk ontbijt. Privé parking. Jacques, de heer des huizes, is super begaan. Hij geeft goeie tips, zonder opdringerig te zijn, informeert hoe je dag is geweest, reserveert je restaurant 's avonds, betaalde zelfs onze taxi toen UBER ons niet lukte de eerste avond om 23u. Dankjewel Jacques! Devonport House was een mooie start van onze 4-weken durende reis.

Incredibly warm home away from home
It felt very much like staying with at a good friend's house. Every morning, Jacques (the owner) came to the breakfast and would advise interesting places to visit, restaurants to stop at, and even the best scenic routes to drive. The breakfast itself was super fresh and tasty, with great fruit mix salad, fresh yoghurt, selection of cheese, etc. The staff were very friendly. The house is located in a very quiet safe neighbourhood up on the hill. There was a very convenient parking space. Bathroom had nice high quality shampoo, soap, etc. The room itself was spacious, very clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend this to be your home away from home.
