We booked at the Derwent House because we read the fantastic review on Trip Advisor. And boy were we lucky. This hotel was not only a gorgeous renovated heritage-type building but everything was done with such class. The staff couldnt do enough for us and they were so helpful with travel plans. We went with our baby and they gave... more

I can't rate this hotel highly enough - Carol and Jo have a fantastic attention to detail and nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel is located near the foot of Table Mountain and has great views down to the sea. The decor of the hotel is modern but inviting, the rooms are large and the beds are... more

Its very simple. A perfect hotel, well run, beautifully staged and with an excellent location. Well priced. Only fault - the shower could be a bit better and cable TV takes a bit of learning. more

This hotel is truly wonderful. It is beautifully decorated, with all of the amenities one could desire, but small enough to basically feel at home. The staff and owners (Jo and Carol) were very gracious hosts, and we could not have been happier with our stay! What impressed us even more than the beauty and design of the hotel was... more

All previous contributions offer considerable praise indeed and we are not likely to change that. Derwent House is excellent and our only mistake was not to stay longer both at this stylish boutique hotel and in Cape Town which we loved and of which we only scratched the surface. Derwent House is superbly situated away from the bussle of the... more
