From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, staying here was a joy. All the staff made us supremely welcome and Jo, Carol and Bernie have such a great knowledge of all the best restaurants and places to go, it made our stay fantastic, and stress free. Our only issue was that we really should have stayed a... More

My husband and I stayed at Derwent House in November 2011 for part of our belated honeymoon. We arrived late at night off a long flight to a very warm welcome from Carol. The guesthouse itself is beautifully decorated with attention to every little detail whilst keeping an inviting home from home feel. The breakfasts are amazing with a tasty... More

This was our third time at Derwent house and all I can say it just gets better. Carol, Jo and Bernie are just superb hosts and the rest of the team are fantastic. Rooms are wonderfully comfortable and the pool area with hot tub is spot on. We spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon at a concert at Kirstenbosch and Carol... More

We have been lucky enough to stay in some amazing hotels around the world but Derwent House takes some beating when it comes to personal service. We stay in January 2012 for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Jo, Carol, Bernie and their team were exceptional in their warm and friendly service like staying with friends who just... More

We arrived early morning off the plane and were met at the secure gate entrance and helped in with our bags.

Nothing was too much trouble for Carol & Jo who were the perfect hosts at this lovely boutique hotel near Kloof Street.

The hotel itself is in pristine condition, stylish and modern throughout with interesting artwork. Our room overlooked the pool/garden... More

I stayed at Derwent House for my 5th Xmas in a row. I choose Derwent House because it manages to be incredibly stylish and homely at the same time. Carol & Jo are the perfect hosts with enough energy to supply the national grid! All in all a wonderful stay...once again! More

Stayed here for the first five nights of our honeymoon at the start of January and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Carol and Jo, the owners, are so welcoming and really went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The location off Kloof street is ideal, loads of nice restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast... More

We recently returned to Derwent House for our second visit. We had such a nice experience previously that we didn't even think twice about staying somewhere else. And our faith and expectations were more than re-paid. This is a very classy place run by two lovely owners, Carole and Jo, who take serious pride in what they do. They would... More
