Since we booked, Neil contacted us and helped us book a pickup from the airport (a bit more expensive than Uber but, super helpful!). When we arrived Neil greeted us and provided us with information of STUNNING restaurants and tours We booked a tour to the Cape of Good Hope through him which was great!The guest house is located right in the heart of Sea Point! It has a charming dining area where Neil makes you a delicious breakfast daily. My favourite was the eggs with bacon and a plate of fresh fruit afterwards! The room exceeded our expectations, it was really big, and after travelling for a few days staying in small rooms this was awesome! The bed and pillows were super comfy, the shower was great and when the weather was nice the balcony was a great place to relax! Neil and the staff at Villa Cosa were amazing, attentive and kind. I definitely recommend this place and my husband and I wish to come back here on our next visit to Cape Town.

Location was very good with lots of restaurants nearby and a short walk to the promenade and a red sightseeing bus stop. Neil was very helpful throughout our stay! He recommended some local restaurants, sorted out breakfast for us the night before on the days we had to be up early and let us check out an hour later as we had an issue with our suitcase zip which had broken that needed fixing. Spacious clean rooms, big comfortable bed, rooms had usb charging ports which was useful as didnt need an adaptor, great breakfast. Overall a lovely stay

The property was a great location and the decor was very pleasant. It felt like you were staying with a friend who has good taste in decorating. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We had a nice balcony to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine with a great view of signal hill and table mountain. Breakfast in the morning was fabulous also. The location is perfect. It’s just a few blocks walk to the coastline walk. Also many different restaurants within easy walking distance.

I can’t think of anything. If I visit Cape Town again, this will be the first place I check for availability. We really enjoyed our stay.

We upgraded to the suite when we checked in. This was a bargain at only R300 more than the Standard Room. The Suite was exquisitely furnished and comfortable and had a lovely balcony with a Daybed where we could relax with our magazines and drinks. Neil is a very charming and helpful host, and even packed some goodies in the fridge in our room for breakfast when we advised that we were taking an early flight the next morning. Breakfast was delicious, with a large assortment of hot and cold food to choose from. Smudge who is the resident Feline only added to the charm and quaintness of this lovely place. Will definitely visit again.

The flight of stairs up to the Suite was a bit of a challenge with our Suitcases, but it was well worth it when we got to the top and saw the beautiful view of Table Mountain. Neil also very kindly assisted us.

This is such a fab little spot - a street or two away from the main hustle which means it’s tucked away from any noise or traffic. Walking distance to heaps of fab coffee shops (Ollie’s does an amazing coffee!) and easy enough to stroll into town if you’re fancy some scenery and steps in. The room we had was the double and it was upstairs adjacent to the welcome area/breakfast room, I was worried we would be disturbed when people were up early having brekky but we didn’t hear a peep. The bed was comfy, room was clean and all the amenities you need. Neil and his staff at Villa Costa are so lovely, he makes a bloody good scrambled egg and beautiful breakfast options to eat on the Patio by the pool in the morning. Neil was very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions I had which made being in a new city all the easier. Really couldn’t ask for more from your accommodation, ticks all the boxes for a wonderful stay in Cape Town.

I stayed for a weekend at Villa Costa Rosa Guesthouse and I cannot recommend it enough. The room and breakfast were first class. The location, in a quiet road just a short walk from a good selections of restaurants and coffee shops in trendy Sea Point, was safe and secure. Sea Point is a good neighbourhood, centrally located in Cape Town, the promenade was a five minute stroll with the V&A Waterfront and all other attractions easily accessible. For me, what made Costa Rosa Guesthouse so special was the host Neil, he took care to make you feel at home and, for any first time visitors to Cape Tow, he had some great ideas of where to go and where to eat as well as explaining the dos and don’ts to make your stay in this beautiful city hassle free.

Excellent place. We were in the suite. Very nice and large room. Very well situated (Sea Point). Very quiet street close to restaurants and shops. Very nice staff and contact with Neil before arrival appreciated (how to arrive from airport, how to enter the building and room upon arrival if after working hours), as well as after arrival his kind recommendations of places to go/visit. Parking spaces available in front of the residence or in the street. If we go back to Cape Town this is a residence we want to return to! Thanks a lot Neil !

Neil created a place where you truly feel home. Dircetly upon arriving he gave tips where to go and get the best food and what to see. The rooms were cozy and cleaned every single day, the garden is beautiful and a great place to relax. For breakfast I was asked every morning if I wanted to have eggs (English Breakfast Style with potaoes etc.) or pancakes and they were freshly prepared. Other choises like fresh fruit and a selection of cheese / ham was available as well. I really enjoyed my stay and would always come back!

We had a lovely time there. Neil (who runs the place) is a great guy, who is ready to give you the best tips in Cape Town and also always ready to help you with anything there. The place is amazing, cozy, with great facilities and a nice breakfast (greetings to the staff who makes it). It is located in a nice neighborhood, with good restaurants around and also not so far from other places by uber/bolt. I would totally come back and recommend it!

To be honest, nothing to complain about.

Fantastic experience, right from the beginning, with effective and detailed communication from Neil prior to and during check-in. The garden room was spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable and the garden itself, just beautiful. The pool was clean and the pool area was well-maintained with enough space for all guests (plus the cat) to enjoy it, especially with the beautiful aroma of jasmine all around. Breakfast selection was extensive and delicious, with both hot and cold options. There were enough tables for all guests to eat inside or outside. Neil had heaps of suggestions for activities and dining. One standout was La Bohême, just round the corner. Fantastic cocktails and extensive tapas menu (get the bâo buns). Security was top notch, we key fob entry to the property, individual room key and a key code safe in our wardrobe.
