The House on the hill is the best location for any tourist to book their accommodation in capetown since its located in the safest district Greenpoint, has a baz bus stop pick up point, and conveniently situated near the V&A waterfront, city sightseeing bus and spar. Its a 5 minute walk to a nearby rapid Covid 19 test with travel certificate for 850 rand. You can do your diy walking tour of the downtown area on the left or the seapoint on the right. It takes about 18 minutes of walking for both destinations. The host is welcoming and the place is peaceful at night. Be sure to come home by 11pm which is the current curfew inline with covid restrictions. There is a well equipped kitchen with washing machine, a courtyard, balcony, hot shower, warm bed and free wifi.
Great place. Clean and it is located in a very nice area.
It is our go to place in Cape Town. Well priced and easy access to the rest of Cape Town. It is the ideal place to stay and get in an early morning walk.
Best place to stay in Cape Town! Perfect walking distance from Green Point Stadium if you have a concert on. Staff very friendly and the breakfast is just perfect. The bread rolls are amazing!
Lovely small guest house in excellent, safe and quiet location, very helpful owner (Claudi from Germany), gorgeous fresh breakfast products incl real bread/ rolls, fruits and muesli. Rooms are very clean and in bright colours, individually equipped with all you need. Only the bathroom is rather small (room no 5). Excellent and quick communication. Strongly recommend.
Staying at house on the hill was an OK experience overall. The facilities are average and so is the service. The location is very good, as it’s a 10 min walk to the waterfront and taxis (public vans) can be found just down the road. What we didn’t like about it was cleanness. As it claims to be an upmarket backpackers, room service could definitely be improved. We stayed there for 6 nights and our bathroom was only “properly cleaned” once during our stay. It also advertises that there is a TV in the room, of which only one channel works and the tea station was lacking care as the coffee was expired and the tea tastes awful. Having a nice courtyard, our intention was to make a lovely braai one evening but after seeing the state of the grill and the need to clean it before use, we changed plans. Furthermore, perhaps investing in a new coffee plunger would be beneficial for the house as having to share one(the other one was broken) amongst various rooms was creating friction between guests. It’s a very basic backpackers.
Thank you for the clean and well managed accommodation. Deon really went out on a limb for us and Simon wads very helpful too. Wren is still the star employee keeping us safe. Thank you once again for the awesome lodgings!
Its quaint and good for if you are out and about for most of the day. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only issue I had was that I would have liked the room floor to have been swept at least once every 2-3 days. Otherwise I enjoyed it and Ren (the dog) was my favorite host.
Very pleasant. Excellent location as well
House on the Hill was a refreshing experience. In a cul de sac next to the busy stadium, there is a sense of calm that I appreciated. Service was quick and front office was very helpful.
Excellent, peaceful and quiet. Service is perfect from friendly and helpful staff. No issues ,no complaints!! Ill suggest anyone to try it out! Good for relaxation, rest and quality family time. Thanks to Deon, Ruta and Claudi!
