Cape Town Hotels: Welgelegen Guest House

Welgelegen Guest House is a comfortably elegant, Victorian era guest house with an African twist. The establishment comprises two Victorian houses that have been expertly renovated by the owner, Fiona Evans.

Curl up next to the fire with a glass of port and a book or a game of chess on a chilly winter's night or recline in the sunny, fragrant courtyard next to the cool, dark plunge pool in summer.

The new therapy room offers alternative therapies, massage and beauty treatments to pep you up after a hard day sight seeing and lying on the beach, while the luxury en-suite rooms are all individiually decorated with beautiful fabrics, colours and textures.

Located at the base of Table Mountain, Welgelegen is just round the corner from Kloof Street and Long Street, the bustling and trendy centre of Cape Town.

Every room in Welgelegen Guest House is the only one of its kind and it is clear that Lanie has a passion for decoration and perfection. Rooms are stylishly minimal but with thoughtful touches like toweling dressing gowns and homemade biscuits to make you feel at home.

Welgelegen guest house comprises 13 luxury en-suite bedrooms, all with crisp white cotton bedding, duck down duvets, king-size beds and aromatherapy toiletries.

Your cooked or continental breakfast is served in the welcoming and simple Welgelegen Guest House dining room or in the sunny courtyard among the roses and jasmine.

There are some excellent restaurants within walking distance of Welgelegen Guest House.
