Derwent House is a fantastic place to stay when in Capetown – everything is perfect – location, rooms, food, hosts – All your needs are catered for.

My 5 year old son and I stayed at Derwent House last month for 5 nights, on the final leg of our activity-packed two and half week vacation in South Africa. We arrived tired and a bit worn out from several days of long walks and late nights and an 8 hour bus ride, but the moment we crossed the... More

The accolades are all richly deserved for this very special place - defined by simple elegance, it retains its homely and relaxed atmosphere through the magical charms of Jo and Carol and all the team for whom there is never a problem in making that extra little bit of attention to detail count. Its operation is a masterclass for any... More

What can I say that has not been said? I confirm and reiterate all reviewers' previous comments. Its a beautiful hotel where Jo and Carol really "take care" of you regarding tourism advice and suggestions. I particularly enjoyed (and greatly benefited from) their restaurant recommendations and reservations. They take care of all! Yes, breakfast is great, so is the pool... More

DH is defined by charm and warmth plus an efficient staff that acted as if they were genuinely delighted I had come and took it upon themselves to personally make me at home. Crisp linens, elegant sitting rooms and All Day English breakfasts. I'd go back next week if it weren't so far from Lititz, PA, USA. Walter B.

Derwent House was lovely. The house is beautiful -- well decorated and extremely comfortable. From the cell phone service to the chocolates on the pillows, no detail has been overlooked. Breakfast was superb. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were always available and willing to help book tours, recommend restaurants or give directions. We would recommend Derwent House...

Jo, Carol and the staff treated us like we were at home. The staff was ready to help us find restraints, taxie and so much more. The rooms were great, breakfast was the best my favorite was Jo's omelet . The home was beautifully decorated and we felt so comfortable. We spent 5 wonderful days. WE WILL BE BACK.

It is hard to add anything to the many glowing reports that appear on TA. We booked because of them and were not disappointed. It really does feel like a home-from-home; nothing is too much trouble for the team.The proximity to Kloof Street with its many good restaurants is a bonus, because one doesn't always want to go right down...

We arrived, 2 parents and 3 jaded children, early one morning having just flown through the night from London. Despite the early hour, Carol and her team could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We were soon sorted, eating delicious french toast in one of the excellent local cafes. The hotel's rooms are wonderful - stylish and elegant. One... More
