About
Glenhaven Guesthouse - Cape Town
Glenhaven Guesthouse sits in the residential suburb of Newlands, roughly 3.2 km from the city's Five (5) district. It's a compact, three-star property that feels more like a well-run bed and breakfast than a hotel.
The guest rooms are straightforward and comfortable, each with a king-size bed, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and either a balcony or a courtyard outlook. Some rooms have bathtubs, and all have en-suite showers. The shared spaces are modest, and guests have access to a communal sitting area and dining table.
In terms of practicality, there's free parking for those arriving by car, and the guesthouse provides a washing machine for longer stays. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the property's location makes it easy to explore the leafy southern suburbs of Cape Town. The guesthouse's rating of 8.7 out of 10 from 104 reviews reflects consistent guest satisfaction.
Please note that check-in is limited to between 12:00 and 20:00, so plan your arrival accordingly. Pets are not allowed.
