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!!!
