We had the pleasure of staying at the Carmichael Guesthouse this past April while visiting our daughter who is a student at the University of Cape Town. The inn is charming, beautiful and centrally located, within minutes of all the sites. We rented a car during our stay so we could tour the peninsula and the wine regions on our... More

Anyone visiting the University of Cape Town should consider this B&B. It is very nice, well appointed, and the people running the inn are fantastic. The rooms are large and inviting and the breakfast is adequate. Overall, the house and grounds are lovely and comfortable.

I have stayed in many hotels and guesthouses in Cape Town over the years but there has been nothing like the idyllic, homely, warm and welcoming... More
