Me and my wife stayed at De Molen for a night recently. Reception escourted us with umbrellas from the car park as it was raining. The atmosphere is elegant and the rooms and facilities were neat and tidy. It is located favorably with great views and beautiful gardens. Can definitely recommend.

Great place, located half way on the helderberg. While you are having breakfast you can look over Gordon Bay and the Ocean. Staff is super friendly and Joris and Christy have become very good friend of mine. Real value for money and nice change from hanging around in the Cape Town area and move over to the other side of... More

I stayed here with a group of friends from the Netherlands for a few days in October. I was excellent, spacious rooms, clean, great staff and so very relaxed. If you don't have a clue what to do in SA. Just ask the owners Joris and Christy. It was like they read our minds. We got all the inside information,... More

We stayed here in late October 2012 for a week and absolutely loved it. The Guest House is located in the middle of all local attractions: half an hour to downtown Cape Town, 20 minutes to the airport, 15 minutes to Stellenbosch and an hour from the Cape itself. The accommodation itself is very nice, with spacious and comfy rooms... More

Great location and excellent hosts. We stayed in Room 1, that has a spectacular view. The king size bed made it hard to get up in the morning. But breakfast, prepared by Lizzie, was the reward. Absolutely recommended.

A warm welcome it was! We had a late flight to Cape Town and finally got to De Molen Guest House around 23:30. They where still waiting for us to come and gave us a warm welcome. The view from the house (both in the evening and morning) are astonishing. So at 00:00 we asked if they could open the... More

I stayed at De Molen on referral by a a travel agent. It is about a 20 to 30 minute drive from the airport in good traffic. It is is situated near some rocky outcrops and, while there is not much of a sea view, the place is perfectly quiet and set back from any busy traffic at night. During... More

We strongly recommend Guesthouse the Molen for various reasons. First of all, location. Situated high up on the Helderberg with sweeping views of False Bay and the mountains the views are incredible. The luxury rooms and selfcatering appartments are situated in a beautifully-kept garden with a tropical swimmingpool. Every morning a delicious breakfast is served out on the terrace. The... More
