After traveling for 36 hours, it was so nice to be welcomed by The Walden House. They were very accommodating in allowing us to check in early so we could get some sleep. We only got to eat breakfast once, as we had very early morning tours, but the morning we did eat, it was very good. Bridgette was great,... More

Beautiful Victorian establishment with a touch of the 21st century. Great management and attention to detail during a brief but enjoyable stay. Great location near the main restaurant hub of Kloof Street and the only guest house we visited with off road parking.

Walden house is still fabulous after all the years we've been staying there. It maybe needs a little touch up here and there, but I'm told this is in the pipeline. Very good location in a quiet street, close to everything, generous and well appointed rooms and extremely friendly and competent staff. I can highly recommend this to anyone.

We had an excellent stay with the Walden House.

The breakfasts were great and the cookies left in the room very tasty! We were... More

The Walden House gets something right that only a handful of guest houses do; they create an atmosphere of luxury that makes you feel at home. The combination of its central location, excellent service, scrumptious breakfast, luxurious feel and homely comfort is a winning recipe.
