Great for a family stay in the centre of Kalk Bay

Great location, easy walk to harbour front, bars and restaurants. We had the comfort suite, which was seperate to the main guest house. It was very, very spacious, with wonderful views from the master bedroom/lounge on the first floor. It was cold whilst we were there. There is a log burner on each floor which you can purchase firewood/lighters for at reception. This was a must for the cold days. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helped when needed. Security were visible but made us feel safe.

This place is divine! A beautiful old house, lovely decor, spacious, incredible views, great location, and really lovely staff! Freshly ground coffee delivered to your room at a time you choose each morning was a great touch. I fell in love with Kalk Bay - what a gem of a town. And I'd highly recommend staying at Chartfield to anyone looking to visit Kalk Bay.

Brilliant weekend away

Excellent location in Kalk Bay - just ambling down the beautiful steps to several restaurant locations. That is if you want to leave the stunning views of the guesthouse porch. The room and amenities were in excellent condition.

Good value stay

Lovely staff and a very friendly welcome. Hotel has a lovely feel to it - amazing views and lots of lovely light. Generally cleanliness was great, apart from our bath in the room hadn’t been cleaned from the last guest so that wasn’t nice. There is a lovely pool area, but the covers on the sun loungers are looking quite sorry for themselves and need replacing really. It was also rather unusual to have a double bed made up… but with two single quilts. Even with these few elements not being up to scratch we still had a lovely stay and felt it was good for the price we paid.

Loved this place! I rented the loft room and there was a breeze, big windows and a fan, so I had no issues with it being too warm. I slept with the balcony door and windows open and it was lovely listening to the waves as I fell asleep. Breakfast was delicious! Hot tip: If you book directly with them, it's included. Really enjoyed the complementary coffee brought to my room. The location is fantastic. I walked to Dalebrook tidal pool and snorkeled there and later I walked to Kalky's in the harbour for delicious supper. No doubt I'd return here, it was just fantastic. A big treat!

Great location in Kalk Bay. Light sleepers beware!

The guest house is located close to the bars / restaurants / shops in Kalk Bay. The access point is up a inclined path - so might be tough for the less mobile traveller. The guesthouse itself has incredible views - a lovely spot to sit and watch the ocean / have a few drinks. Simple facilities but does the job for a few nights stay. They provide beach towels and umbrellas for the guests. My towel was not the cleanest - I found some bird poo when I unrolled the towel.. this could have been bad luck from when the towels were dried! I struggled on occasion to find staff to buy water from, or to check out for example. It feels like the ‘front of house’ still needs some work. The rooms are simple but fresh and good size. There were a few stray hairs on the bedding, but nothing too major. Bed was a good size and comfortable for 2. The main issue I had was the noise. The doors do not block any sound from the corridors, and the stairs / floorboards are extremely creaky. The guesthouse offers a complimentary tea/coffee from 7am - 9am. Between these hours I could hear the drinks being made, and the staff stomping around to deliver these to the guests. This might not bother everyone - but for me, a light sleeper, it was quite an issue. For these reasons I would say the guesthouse would serve you well for a night or two.. but I wouldn’t stay for much longer!
