    stunning sea view
    loud neighbor noise

    Stunning ocean views at breakfast

    Dolphin Inn Guesthouse left an indelible mark on my heart. The stunning sea view from my room enhanced every moment spent there. The hospitality from Paul and Tania was remarkable. They guided me to nearby attractions and ensured I felt like family, preparing a delicious made-to-order breakfast each morning.

    However, on one occasion, I encountered a neighbor's loud music late at night, which disturbed my otherwise peaceful stay. I did wish for a bit more sound insulation between rooms.

    noisy environment

    The rooms were lovely, comfortable, and well-appointed, making my stay feel inviting.

    Be prepared for noise disturbances from neighboring rooms, as sound insulation could definitely use improvement.

    The cozy reading corner with travel guides and South African wine was a delightful touch, making our stay feel special. Karen’s recommendations for local restaurants added to our enjoyable experience.

    cute manager

    I had a fantastic 3-night stay in a Standard Double Room with Sea View. The location is prime, right by the ocean, and I loved relaxing in the dining area with ocean views. Karen, the manager.

    ocean view

    Just a strong match for a quick stopover in Cape Town with outstanding value for money. I enjoyed the excellent ocean view from the breakfast area—it made my mornings better. Enjoy the friendly cat that wanders around. she adds a nice touch.

    beautiful sea view
    cozy atmosphere
    disruptive noise
    limited breakfast variety
    proactive staff

    The location offers stunning sea views, especially during breakfast, which creates a lovely atmosphere to connect with fellow guests. Rooms are individually decorated, exuding warmth and comfort while being impeccably cleaned every day. However, sound insulation could be improved as noises from neighboring rooms were occasionally disruptive, and the staff could have been more proactive in addressing some issues. The breakfast menu had limited variety, which might not suit everyone's taste.

    stunning views
    family-friendly location
    limited family activities

    Staying at this guesthouse with my 5 kids was a treat! The morning views while we enjoyed breakfast were stunning, and the location made it easy for our family to explore Cape Town. We even booked a sea kayak trip that let us see the Peninsula from a dolphin's view!

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities available nearby.

    Exceptional Stay with Unparalleled Views

    Spending 15 nights here was a dream. The breathtaking ocean views during breakfast were unforgettable. I loved the cozy ambiance of my room, and the hot water shower was a perfect end to a long day of exploring. Tanya and Paul were incredible hosts, always ready to assist!
