You won't be disappointed!
Very friendly staff and owner. Set in a very green and quiet area overlooking signal hill and lions head. Still only a short walk to the restaurants and bars of sea point. Overall excellent. Very clean and the pool was well kept. Would strongly recommend! Thank you Maarten

Solo Trip
I enjoyed my stay at Maarten’s guest house. Maarten was very friendly. The guest house is in a safe area and the room was clean. I would stay here again if I were to visit Cape Town in the near future.

Lovely Guesthouse. Maarten was very welcoming and advised us lots of places to eat. He also let us leave our luggage and stay around the pool for the afternoon while we waited to leave for our flight back to the UK. Lovely view from the balcony, which we loved.

Welcoming & friendly
Maarten & staff were very welcoming & helpful. Breakfast catered for all nationalities. They gave us tips on where to visit & eat. We enjoy walking so their distance from shops & eateries were not a problem. Large choice of restaurants/cafes.

Nice guesthouse in a quiet part of town
Away from the busy part of the town, but it is easy to walk down to restaurants and shops.
Great breakfast on a rooftop terrace with views of the ocean.

A peaceful haven on the hills
Maarten's Guesthouse was a breath of fresh air after the long activity packed days my mum and I had planned! Our trip was during low season, so the house was quiet, but still pleasant. Its the small things that count - a well stocked fridge with beverages, snacks, personalized notes, and an invitation to help ourselves to the kitchen after a late evening arrival without the hassle of leaving the comfort of "home". Maarten really went out of his way to make our stay wonderful. I hurt my foot one morning and he rushed - on his own accord - to the pharmacy to get me a brace. This truly was a peaceful haven on the hills!

Great stay in Fresnaye.
Maarten was very welcoming and informative. Breakfasts were superb. Pool whilst small was perfectly formed and warm! Hour and 20 minutes leisurely walk to V and A was enjoyable.
