What a fabulous place Acorn house is. The house and the gardens were just beautiful, from the stylish accessories in the rooms and communal areas to the comfiest sun loungers. The pool maybe small but it was so refreshing and the view of the mighty Table Mountain just topped off the experience. It’s in a lovely suburb of Cape Town with several nice restaurants and bars a short walk away on Kloof street. Maaika the owner and her lovely staff made me feel so at home and nothing I asked was too much trouble. I really hope it’s not too long till I visit again.

We had an amazing stay at acorn house - the perfect start for our family holiday. We were travelling with two children aged 2 and 5. They had all the needed equipment, and the friendly staff made sure to accommodate us by the pool with toys, towels and even cookies for the kids etc when we arrived a few hours before check-in after our long haul flight. The room was spacious, stylish and very clean, and the breakfast is lovely. The area is beautiful and relaxed with a nice cafe just on the corner of the street. Maaike provided us with various good recommendations for the rest of our destinations as well, which has been great. We highly recommend staying at acorn house to experience this lovely place :)

Where to begin here? Will never forget arriving from the UK winter… The personal welcome and the feeling of being guests rather than just another room number… loved the utterly charming period house, and our room which had a balcony overlooking the city and views beyond. Homely, relaxing, with lovely garden with plenty of space to chill with a glass of wine after days out and about. We felt we could not have been in a better location: Oranjezicht, a relatively peaceful and beautiful setting, right at the foot of Table Mountain yet within an easy and cheap 10 min cab ride from the V&A and Camps Bay. If you prefer this kind of set up to being in the thick of the busy/hyped up tourist zones and can get a room then look no further! Huge thanks to Maaike and her wonderful team. You made our time in Cape Town extra special.

I admired that house from my favourite cafe opposite of the road for ages and now it had the pleasure to stay there...and i wish i would have booked longer. Its a stunning and very imoressive house in a superb location with magnificent views and a team that works so excellent and polite hand in hand that it immidiately feels like home. They take their time with you, always up for a chat, noone is rushed or stressed and they cater to all your wishes and serve the best breakfast i ever had.

Whata not to like?

A relaxing end to 12 days spent cycling in the Western Cap. The property is in an ideal location for all of Cape Town's highlights, while providing the benefits of living on the edge of a major city. Your host, Maaike, will help to organize your day and find a table in some of the best local restaurants.

Nothing

Beautiful rooms, amazing breakfast, staff were all friendly and kind and the managers were incredibly helpful. Located in a great area near Kloof street where there are brilliant restaurants. Would absolutely stay again.

Nothing!

This place is lovely! Not only did we feel super comfortable & safe in this cozy guesthouse, everyone around made such an effort in making our stay perfect. Mice and her team really care about their guests - this made it special for us. The location is great, we loved the breakfast and afternoon coffee on the terasse. We will be back!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Location is quiet but within easy access of everything. The property, rooms and outside space were clean and well looked after.

Acorn House nails the B&B game. Amazing breakfast spread, super comfy bed, charming decor & landscape. Staff was extremely accommodating as well. 10/10, would stay again.

No complaints!

Property was great in a good location, easy Uber ride to all the attractions, bars and restaurants. Owner and staff are all super helpful with great recommendations.
