What guests loved the most

“We were in South Africa on our honeymoon. Derwent House was our first stop and it made a real impression. The service was second to none. It feels like they are welcoming into your home. They helped us organise an airport transfer, car hire, and found us restaurant bookings at the last minute. They also helped us plan our itinerary in cape town. We would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. The breakfast is also fantastic. Kloof Street is a great area, very central and walking distance to the centre of Cape Town.”

“Everything. The apartment was beautifully decorated and clean, as was the reception, and pool area, just incredibly curated and elegant. The location was incredibly convenient too, I couldn't have handpicked a better hotel for our stay. But on top of all that, it was the staff are what really made our stay at derwent house so perfect, from recommending walks, making restaurant reservations, help in organising day trips, to our bag of sweets to wish us a sweet goodbye. Perfect. I fell in love with the place, nowhere I would rather stay in Cape Town.”
