Ab Fab! Treat yourself - Derwent House is a wonderful find in a very convenient part of Cape Town. The hospitality, comfort, food, service, situation, price, friendliness and information/assistance available, all rate as exceptional. Carol (and Jo and the rest of the staff) go out of their way to make this a home from home and it all comes highly... more

My wife and I stayed twice at the Derwent house during our month-long trip to South Africa in June and July 2008. We recommend it highly. Viewed simply as accommodation, it’s excellent. For complicated reasons we wound up staying in four different rooms (they have about ten). All were well furnished in a contemporary style; we’d have been happy to... more

We chose Derwent House for a stay in Cape Town whilst trying to work out the answer to a job offer in the city. We didn't have much time and we had a million things to find out - all very speedy and stressful. Anyway - we couldn't recommend DH more highly - you are greeted personally at the door... more

It was a pleasure to come back to such peaceful surroundings every day and we so enjoyed our drink at the fireplace each evening before going out to dinner. Surrounded by top restaurants we were... more

The common living areas are super comfortable, with a roaring fire... more

Stayed her in June 2008 and I can only endorse what everyone else has said about this hotel. Superb. Also handy for some top class restaurants nearby that won't break the bank, and not far from the Table Mt cable station. Thoroughly recommended!! more

I have stayed and reviewed this hotel before - so I'll keep it simple. If you are looking for an oasis of calm and perfection in Cape Town, with a great location, great service, good food, lovely rooms - then this hotel is it. All other boutique hotel owners take note! more

We stayed at Derwent House at the end of our trip to South Africa for 3 days and had a great time. The hotel was in a perfect location for us and we managed to get about easily. Table Mountain is a really short drive away and there are lots and lots of restaurants a short walk away. It is... more

We were a group of 13 (7 adults and 6 kids under 14) traveling from the US. We started our trip in Cape Town, staying at the Derwent House. We had great service before we even got there. The proprieters, Carol and Jo made many recommendations on tour guides, restaurants, sites to see, weather and clothing to bring. They went... more
