Having arrived weary after a turbulent overnight flight, we were given a drink of ice cooled water with a sprig of mint as soon as we stepped through the door and shown into the comfortable lounge to relax Tea plus was arranged to be served on the veranda by the small pool after we had been shown to our balconied,...

We arrived tired and a bit disoriented after an overnight flight but Stewart and the team immediately made us welcome and guided our stay in Capetown. Thank you. Lovely breakfast area by the pool Rooms upstairs at front seemed larger and have own balcony Excellent breakfasts - best fruit and buffet of the trip.

My wife and I have stayed in a large number of hotels all over the world, but if you are looking for a well positioned hotel just outside the hubble and bubble of Cape town, this is the one for you. The staff just couldn't be friendlier or more helpful... They even allowed me to use their computer and printer... More

Staying at Acorn was a joy. Fresh white linen. Beautiful room and bathroom. Friendly staff members. Stewart was especially helpful in assisting me in following up on the delivery of my lost luggage from the airline. Great breakfasts. Will be a preferred stay for me when on business in Cape Town.

Beata and Stewart were just as we remembered and they made sure we had the same rooms as last time - a lovely touch. Breakfast by the pool was just delightful and Stewart made sure we had a dinner reservation in good time..

Beautiful and characterful guest house in a pretty, quiet district. Everyone was very helpful, particularly Stewart and Nabila. Breakfasts were delicious and rooms were very well furnished and decorated. It was our first trip to South Africa and Acorn House proved the perfect place for our family to stay in Cape Town. We're looking forward to going back. Highly recommended.

'Shabby chic' style boutique guest house. Two exceptional members of staff, Stewart and Nabila, make the place what it is. Excellent breakfasts, comfortable rooms, nice garden and small pool with loungers. If you order in a take-away, or fire up the BBQ, mats, cutlery, candles and coffee seamlessly appear. 'Honesty' bar. Bedrooms would benefit from air-conditioning, and some parts a... More

Wonderful hospitality. I always judge a property by its coffee and Acorn's was absolutely superb. Loved breakfast in the garden.Perfectly situated to flit into town for a conference at the CTCC and easy access to main roads.

It was the first time for me to stay at this place. It started with a real warm wellcome and the service was excellent all the time. To have the breakfast outside at the pool imn the shadow was one of the highlights for me. Besides this the location is 100% quiet and it is absolut no problem to park... More

This was our first visit to South Africa and we could not have found a nicer place to stay. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff; comfortable rooms and great breakfasts by the pool! Such a relaxed atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble for the staff - Stewart & Nabila, in particular, were brilliant. Could not fault Acorn House in any way... More
