Such a warm and lovely place. Rooms were immaculate and each has its own charm and decor. Owners were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast perfect. Loved the robes! Great location near UCT and felt very safe. One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.

Yves and Valerie are the consummate hosts. This was our first trip to South Africa and Yves and Valerie made it a stress free experience. Their kindness and welcoming nature provided a comfortable, warm atmosphere that made us feel at home. It began before we arrived when Yves sent us options for restaurants and offers to help with rentals. We traveled over Christmas and I'd made reservations at a local restaurant for Christmas Day, unbeknownst to me the restaurant was closed. Yves found out and went out of his way to make another reservation for my family. His thoughtfulness and attention to his guests is what you can expect. In addition, I thought it would be nice if my family woke up on Christmas morning to find stockings hung from the fireplace. It was an odd request, but I asked if Valerie or Yves could help out with my 'surprise'. Valerie kindly found stockings and put them together. What a wonderful surprise for my family on Christmas morning. The house and grounds are beautiful and recently renovated after a terrible fire in 2019. The adornments and old world charm of the house transport you to a different time. Breakfast was always delicious, especially the croissant that are specially shipped in from France. The pool and gardens are exquisitely maintained by Yves. If you are looking for a get-away where you'll be sure to be treated well, look no further than the Carmichael House and the hospitality of Yves and Valerie.

Charming and cozy
I had a wonderful experience at Carmichael Guesthouse and would stay here again. The staff were very helpful before I arrived with helping me to arrange tours. I loved being away from the hustle and bustle of downtown in a quieter neighborhood in a charming house full of history. I felt very well taken care of and hope to come back someday.

Home from home
We loved every minute of our stay at Charmichael Guesthouse!!! Every detail of the property from the gardens to the guest rooms were perfectly thought out and exquisitely decorated in a Colonial yet modern style. Our room was absolutely massive with a beautiful high ceiling, it had everything you’d need and we have nil complaints about it! Breakfast was awesome - full continental spread which was divine along with a cooked breakfast of your choice - class! Finally, our hosts were amazing!!! They are a lovely couple who can’t do enough for their guests - sometimes hosts are overbearing or completely non-present, but these guys struck the balance just right! They helped us book tickets for table mountain, sorted us dinner reservations and even checked us into our flights and printed off our boarding cards so we could have an extra half hour in bed - I can’t speak highly enough of them! I’m sure you get the drift, but if you stay here I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! We’ll definitely be back!!!

Fantastic if only...
The guest house is old and beautiful and it was a pleasant experience all around if only the queen bed was more comfotable. The matrass was so hard we rolled around for 2 hours before falling asleep. Change that and I’ll give it full marks.

Beautiful, elegant and cozy BnB
The Carmichael House exceeded our highest expectations in every way. Yves communicated w/me answering various questions we had about Cape Town, before we left Seattle. Upon our arrival our hosts, Yves and Valerie, arranged for our pickup at the airport which alleviated all concern about what to do and how to travel to their guest house. Once there, we were made to feel welcome and comfortable in our spacious, lovely en suite room overlooking their garden. The immaculate Victorian house is at once elegant and cozy. The hosts have considered every detail to make their guests feel at home yet afford them plenty of privacy and independence. A delicious bottle of S. African wine was waiting for us in our room to celebrate our arrival. Yves and Valerie helped inform us of the many sights and sites that we could enjoy while visiting this amazing South African city. They were always available to answer any questions we might have about locations and directions to places of interest. Their breakfasts are fit for royalty. We sat admiring the garden while we enjoyed fresh baked croissants (from France!), homemade fresh rolls, bread, muffins, jams and marmalade, two eggs any way you like them, with bacon or sausage, and baked tomatoes, fresh fruit compote, and so much more plus coffee or tea--EVERY DAY, served on white table cloths in a charming sun room.

Beautiful and friendly place
Stayed for a week at this hotel and it was a great experience. The guesthouse is charming and really feels like a home. Rooms are individually decorated and the beds are really comfortable. The host couple were very nice and extremely helpful, suggesting activities, sights and sorted out car rentals etc. Felt really sad at time of check out.

Great B&B with amazing owners
This has been a very very brilliant experience. Carmichael House is a lovely place with excellent owners who also run the place. The location is superb being very close to UCT, Riverside mall and Cavendish amongst others. The breakfast spread is great offering both continental as well as hot dishes. And of course lots of fruit. Highly highly recommended to all.

Guest comes first at this Guesthouse
When you travel a lot, sometimes your experiences tend to get lost in the fog of it all.... This trip was different for us - and it was entirely the fault of Yves and Valerie! While this was our fourth trip to Cape Town, it was the first time we felt like we were coming home. Carmichael is much better than just a guesthouse - it is a local home away from home. The facilities, the rooms and the breakfasts were of course outstanding. But rarely do you find such a warm and welcoming environment. In fact, we were disappointed when we would come home and they weren't there to greet us (probably because they were taking care of all the others - Carmichael is a very popular place). Rondebosch is a fantastic base and it was extremely easy to get to anywhere from there - and the Guesthouse was even within walking distance of our favorite steakhouse - the Hussar Grill, which is well worth a long detour! Thanks Yves and Valerie for a great visit!!
