9.5Verified guest“The breakfast was outstanding, with fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, and even pancakes. The hotel had great views of Table Mountain and was right next to a beautiful forest reserve on Signal Hill. The owners gave helpful tips and a personal welcome note with a complimentary glass of wine. I recommend Devonport House for its lovely amenities and overall experience.”
9.5Verified guest“As a tourist, I loved the homely feel. The hosts went out of their way to make our honeymoon special with chocolates, roses, and champagne. The location was peaceful yet close to the V&A Waterfront, downtown, and Table Mountain. The view from our room was breathtaking, and the green space behind the yard gave extra privacy. The welcome note, wine, and great coffee made us feel at home. Jacques and Lynne were excellent hosts. Breakfast was delicious with fruit, yogurt, granola, pancakes, and cold cuts. I'll recommend it to friends and would return.”
