I love the Guest house, it feels like a charming boutique hotel and this is the 3rd time Ive stayed there. The owners have great taste in art and the location is perfect, just a few steps from Kalk bays main street filled with cool shops and restaurants. I love the cappuccino room service in the morning.

I paid for a deluxe room but was a bit unimpressed as it was a bit noisy, located between other rooms and you could hear the breakfast group in the morning, I assume just below the room. The bed was a bit hard, not made for people with curvy hips but the bedding was crisp lovely cotton. I dont love that the water is the room costs R39 for a bottle, most hotels etc officer a free welcome bottle, but there is a water fountain downstairs. I will return, Ill just ask for a less centrally located room.

Perfectly situated in the heart of Kalk Bay, Chartfield Guesthouse is one of those hidden gems a traveler happens upon. It’s a magnificent property with stunning views of the ocean, beautiful architecture and extremely clean rooms and common areas. The sun pours in on the large dining area in the morning complementing the professional and extremely accommodating staff. The breakfast menu is unique, the food is wonderful. It’s just a short walk down to the sea front and the Main Street is alive with unique shops and plenty of options for dining.

The word perfect comes to mind. It is a quaint cottage with everything you need. It was super clean and all the amenities you can think of are available. The view on the ocean is superb and the beds are comfortable. We had an issue with electricity that was out and within a couple of minutes of reporting it, the issue was resolved. The staff is excellent. I cannot recommend this cottage enough. Such a perfect stay in the most beautiful Kalk Bay

everything was perfect. There was not one thing not to like

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Chartfield Guest House. The staff were all friendly and helpful on our arrival and during our stay. The room very pleasant and airy with stripped wooden floors and white bed linen. The breakfast we had on our last day was delicious, as was the coffee. We would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect. You are in walking distance of some very nice restaurants and bars, and the fish market is certainly worth a visit.

The toilet paper was very thin!

Beautifully restored mansion filled with original contemporary art, unmatched views over False Bay, the best breakfast and friendly professional service. Easy access to some of the best restaurants in South Africa.

Can’t think of anything.

Breakfast is great. Beautiful view from the terrace. Nice pool.

We ordered a double room via booking, and probably it was the same "class" (double room), but we got a very small room, much smaller than was proposed with the reservation (with bath, 18 m2 etc). As we were staying for 11 days we hoped to get another room, but apparently it was not possible because of full house with the holidays. The room was fine end small, but it didn't correspond with the reservation.

Great stay in a wonderful hotel, very accommodating staff, great breakfast.

A lot of stairs without an elevator, in the regular working hours , there is help, but coming in the afternoon is problematic for taking heavy pieces of luggage to the room

Perfect location just steps to the center of town and yet very quiet and with gorgeous views of the sea. Super comfortable bed, great water pressure and hot water in the shower. Spotlessly clean. Lovely staff. Book this one and you won’t be disappointed!

Everything was perfect!

The room was bigger than expected, the room was very clean as well as the bathroom. There were enough towels provided too. Staff were amazingly friendly, the complimentary coffee in the morning was divine. But, the view and location were perfect too. Will definitely book there again.

The view, room, location, staff were all excellent. Loved how close we were to the beach and the decor / general aesthetic of the building is stunning.

A fridge in the room would be a great addition and maybe a DSTV or Netflix account pre-logged in so one can use the TV. Besides that perhaps some carpeting on the floors to prevent one waking up from the sound of people walking in the rooms above. Understand that it is an older building but perhaps carpets could help with the noise issues.
