This was the last stay on our 2-week South Africa honeymoon, and we loved the tranquility and location of this charming B&B! Our bathroom was a bit on the small side, but we enjoyed a spacious room with comfortable bed, a nice included breakfast, a charming and safe neighborhood and a pleasant stay!

A positive and memorable stay!

My visit to Cape Town was wonderful, in part because of a lovely experience at the One Kensington Boutique Hotel. The Gardens neighbourhood is beautiful, with views of Table Mountain and Lions Head from the property, while also being a convenient location to easily walk to the CBD. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and quiet, and the decor and amenities were tasteful and good quality. The breakfast was delightful as were the indoor and outdoor dining areas. And the service was friendly and generally very helpful.

We were warmly received and attended to on arrival. A short briefing helped orienting us. Stayed in family room and that was just nice for 4 of us. Breakfast is sumptuous and enough to keep you going all day. The location is convinient and parking was easy and at the door. Got all the required info and guidance from the owners including restaurants and such. Overall very accommodating and professional in their approach.
