My wife and I stay here whenever we visit family in Cape Town, most recently at very short notice following a family emergency. Apart from the great location and comfort, the friendliness shown by Bruce and Jeannie raise it well above the usual guesthouse. Our future "home" for all further CT visits.

Valley Heights is truly our family home in Cape Town. Like any family home we cannot even count how many times we have returned. My wife and I, who live in Minneapolis, and daughter from LA were there during the World Cup Soccer. Another daughter and her fiance from Baltimore, had another memorable stay.
