I Stayed 5 nights. It is a Guest House is a Residential Neighborhood of Constantia. Very close to wineries, shopping and other points of interest. Wonderful Garden and Pool area. Hosts and Staff were very helpful. Off-street gated parking was secure. Felt safe. My room was self-catering with a well equipped kitchenette. Would stay again.

Beautiful guest house with well maintained indoor & outdoor areas. Room was small, warm (no air conditioning) & no hot water for shower. Pricey considering these points.

Great stay! Very much recommended!
Great guesthouse - lovely gardens, peaceful location, great hosts happy to chat and offer advice. If you want to ditch the car/Uber for a day then lots of walking to vineyards and restaurants etc is possible from the guesthouse and mapped out by the hosts.

Really friendly family run small hotel. Perfect for our trip. Great location - really near to everywhere and then had the pool to ourselves in the afternoon. All supper recommendations were great and they were always happy to book what ever we needed. Can not recommend enough if you want to get away from it all - was like a little oasis !

Not for us.
We have stayed in many guest houses in Cape Town but this is one of our least favourites, we actually couldn't wait to leave after 3 nights, the walls are super thin, you can hear your neighbours taking a shower, talking and walking around, this of course is not the most relaxing or romantic, we never had a problem with noise in other guest houses. Friendly checkin, very average house, apart from the noise there is nothing major wrong we just didn't get a good vibe.

Warm hospitality for this little gem of a guest house. Very large luminous rooms and lounges. Remarquable garden. Charming swimming pool. Away from the main traffic, yet well situated to visit the Peninsula. Difficult to find better.

I dont know where to start. This couldn't have been more perfect. The all inclusive food was amazing, drinks were cheap, the game drives were insane, and the rooms were unbelievably. Certainly GLAMPING but very very worth it.

Little oasis
Summit place guest house is like a haven of tranquillity. Set on a lovely quiet street of Constantia you are only 5 mins from the main shopping area and wine tasting but away enough to be out of the hustle and bustle. The pool and the gardens and the communal area are fantastic- they really make the property. They are well laid out and well maintained and make the place look beautiful. We really enjoyed having a nice glass of wine on the table and chairs on our little porch. We were a little late for breakfast and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us they were lovely and welcoming from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. In terms of the room it was a little small- however this is more down to the choice of room available as we booked a little late. But the shower is lovely and powerful and the bed is very comfy. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Constantia- and it was great value for money

My husband and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed the experience. The owner, Robyn, is very helpful, and the guest house is handy for touring the peninsula and Kirstenbosch Botannical Gardens in particular.

Loved this b&b - wished we'd booked for longer. Room and ensure bathroom were clean and comfy. All the staff were friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to accommodate my dietary restriction. Will certainly book here again when next in Cape Town. Happy to recommend highly.

Nearly but needs attention
Convenient for vineyards and restaurants we wanted to visit, and Tendi was a brilliant host. However hard to find as sign on gate merely gives a number and Summit Street, but it is not street! Needs more shade around pool and breakfast was the most expensive and not worth it, the only one with no fruit. If everyone used pool there would not be enough loungers. Temperature was high and fans not enough, needs A/C at this price

owner and staff extremely helpful and friendly. would do anything and everything to make your stay a pleasant one. i would like to have a little more space in the room; like a small sitting area, especially when raining or cold and unpleasant weather. a full bathroom can also be an advantage. a bit far from "to-see-and-to-do-things". public transport not easily available. all things considered it is good value for money with excellent management and staff!
