Klein Bosheuwel Guest House

In leafy Newlands, Cape Town — a short 200m stroll from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and within easy reach of Table Mountain. Rooms look out over Bishopscourt and the mountains or the Constantia Valley and nearby wine farms. About 15 minutes' drive to the V&A Waterfront, Hout Bay and top golf courses.

An intimate, owners-run guesthouse with a small number of guestrooms upstairs. Rooms come with DSTV/satellite, coffee and tea facilities, bar fridge, wall safe, underfloor heating, ceiling fans and en-suite showers; daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. The property has a large, bird-filled garden, a comfortable lounge with a library and a relaxed, homey vibe.

Secluded outdoor pool, terrace and gardens where you can wake up to birdsong and mountain views. Fireplace in the lobby, a breakfast and dining room, and a tour-desk to book local excursions. Laundry, ironing and car-rental assistance are available, plus free on-site self-parking.

Wi‑Fi is available on the property and there's free self-parking for guests. The front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Full breakfasts are served daily (for a fee) in the breakfast room — simple, homely morning fare to start Cape adventures.
