  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    I liked the outdoor areas, kitchen and breakfast included everyday! The staff was very nice and helpful for our stay - kept our bags safe when we had to check out, always getting us coffee in the morning and cleaned our room while we were out. The room was also great for 2 people! Nothing in particular

    We were referred to this guesthouse by family..so glad we were..this guesthouse is beautiful, quaint, quiet, cozy and close to downtown area.. ❤️that we could see table mountain from the backyard patio area.. Charls the manager of the guesthouse greeted us upon arrival and strongly suggested we visit table mountain that afternoon as the next few days it would be a bit foggy .. happy he did as Charls was right it was foggy next few days..he asked what we would like to see and do.. we asked for his recommendations and when we got back from table mountain he had a list of places to see.. we took his advice and Charls arranged for a driver for us and called to some places in advance for us ..he even had the driver take us to a restaurant for lunch that Charls had got married at…it was so nice and we would have never found it, beautiful view and good food ..when we got back he asked what we would like for dinner ..as we didn’t know he suggested karibou restaurant by the waterfront and again it was such a treat ..we got to walk around the waterfront and it was just outside the mall which was even better for our wives to go shoppng .. We also want to acknowledge Sandra who had a continental breakfast awaiting us when we got up every morning ..she made eggs to our liking, pancakes, had fresh bread every morning with fresh fruit, croissants and even baked banana bread for us..was just delicious and we didn’t expect breakfast when we booked ..(I mentioned that I like peanut butter on my pancakes) next morning Sandra had a jar of peanut butter there for me.. Sandra also made our beds, had clean towels in our rooms after we had our daily outings and 2 bottles of water .. Don’t have anything to say about it

    This guesthouse is a hidden oasis in a busy town. I ticked quiet as the street it is in is peaceful, but also lively because at the end of the street is Kloof Street which is lined with busy bars and restaurants. You dont have to go far to experience a lot of different cuisines and Breuic at the guesthouse will recommend some. Sandra produces a lovely breakfast which can be enjoyed inside or outside in the rear courtyard or the lush front garden. There is no AC but the ceiling fan and the way the house is managed means the room stayed much cooler than outside. Quirky decoration and a homely feel which they go to great lengths to promote. Loved it! Bit noisy when other guests arrive, but its an older building with hard floors so to be expected.

    The space was great with the area for breakfast both inside and out. The gardens were lovely and the breakfast cook and food were amazing. Fresh fruit and cereals and hot items. Just pleasant that there were spaces to connect and retreat. Location was great to explore the city and the mountains and hiking. Nothing

    Warm welcome, perfect hosts, great breakfast (thank you Brieuc & Sandra!). Number5 Guesthouse felt like home away from home. Located around the corner of lively Kloof Str with lots of (cool!) restaurants and bars within walking distance. Our car was parked right in front of the guesthouse on the street, lots of space. Perfect neighborhood to stay when exploring Capetown (we just 'Uber'd our way across the city).

    I had an amazing stay at this guesthouse! The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The location is perfect—close to everything you need, yet still peaceful. The rooms were really clean and nice. I truly enjoyed every moment of my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay. I will definitely come back!

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    Everything. From management to staff to the comfort of the rooms to the location which was on a quiet street but not too far from a lot of attractions. A little gem of a property, especially for a group of friends.

    Fantastic stay, highly recommended.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Received a very warm welcome and the staff are all really friendly. The manager gave me detailed information about the city and suggested what to see/do and provided a list of recommended local restaurants. The room was clean, beautiful and very comfortable. The bathroom was a little cold, but otherwise I loved everything!
