Welgelegen Boutique Guest House in Cape Town, South Africa

The Welgelegen Boutique Guest House is the right choice if you wish to stay in a handy location from which to explore Cape Town but don’t want to compromise on style.

Welgelegen, which translates from the Dutch as “well-placed,” is made up of two exquisite 19th-century homes and is located at the base of Table Mountain. Welgelegen is located in Gardens, a historic neighborhood in the calm city bowl area of Cape Town. It is close enough to walk to the stores, eateries, and cafes along Kloof Street but far enough away to provide a peaceful stay. Being in the city bowl means that your next experience won’t take you longer than a few minutes.

There are 13 rooms total, and each is tastefully furnished to a high standard with unique extras like Juliet balconies or private gardens. Each room offers satellite TV, a minibar, air conditioning, and bathrooms with showers. Your hosts will be happy to arrange dinner reservations on your behalf at the restaurants on Kloof Street, Cape Town’s “fine dining mile,” even if meal options aren’t offered at Welgelegen.
