We stayed at Dunkley for the 4th time in February and it was as good as ever. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to the hotel from the airport which is so perfect after a long flight from the UK. We are given a lovely welcome by the staff - this time it was Gibson and after settling in... More

Great accommodation, very accommodating people (allowed us to use phone even after we had checked out to find a hire car). Great breakfasts, pleasant accommodation. Would use again.

We've stayed at this hotel twice now; both times for 5 days! The staff are absolutely amazing, although do not expect similar service to a 5* hotel. This is boutique... this is like being at a friends' house! For us the breakfast was perfect though; some slices of bread with toppings, yoghurt, fruit and they'll make eggs to order. What... More

First I'm sorry for what happened to the reviewer before this (mbix42), but you really can't hold the management of Dunkley House responsible for such an unfortunate event so as to give them such a bad review. We had a car parked outside and we noticed a guard/security at night at the end of the road, I don't know who... More

We stayed at the Dunkley house for three days last December. Yes, it's a nice hotel: clean, well situated, great amenities, friendly staff, etc. But I would strongly advise anyone with a vehicle to look elsewhere. The hotel does not have off-street parking and the owners are too cheap to hire a night guard to watch the streets. Our car... More

This lovely old house in a quiet and pretty street is near to Company Gardens and is a short walk from the main shopping areas of the city. There is on-street parking outside the house and it is a short drive to The Waterfront or Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The house is tastefully furnished and very quiet and private.... More

This is my hotel of choice when staying in Cape Town (stayed at three others places). Design buff will love this place. It has everything I would want: friendly staff, ultra modern and comfortable rooms, great breakfast, good security. The common area is a great place to chill out by the pool. They even provide a self-serve wine selection at... More
