You won't be disappointed!

Very friendly staff and owner. Set in a very green and quiet area overlooking signal hill and lions head. Still only a short walk to the restaurants and bars of sea point. Overall excellent. Very clean and the pool was well kept. Would strongly recommend! Thank you Maarten

Lovely Guesthouse. Maarten was very welcoming and advised us lots of places to eat. He also let us leave our luggage and stay around the pool for the afternoon while we waited to leave for our flight back to the UK. Lovely view from the balcony, which we loved.

A peaceful haven on the hills

Maarten's Guesthouse was a breath of fresh air after the long activity packed days my mum and I had planned! Our trip was during low season, so the house was quiet, but still pleasant. Its the small things that count - a well stocked fridge with beverages, snacks, personalized notes, and an invitation to help ourselves to the kitchen after a late evening arrival without the hassle of leaving the comfort of "home". Maarten really went out of his way to make our stay wonderful. I hurt my foot one morning and he rushed - on his own accord - to the pharmacy to get me a brace. This truly was a peaceful haven on the hills!

A most welcoming and comfortable guest house.

Maarten's Guest House was a wonderful find! The host was most welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts included fresh fruit, a selection of fresh rolls and eggs cooked to order, served by cheerful staff. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. There was secure parking on the premises for our car and I liked staying in a residential neighborhood where we could walk down the hill to a shopping area and restaurants about 10 minutes away.
