Quite good location walking distance to the Waterfront with the market and the Aquarium for example. Not as modern and well eqquipped as other hotels and guest houses we visited.

Security is probably a concern in Cape Town anywhere, I noted the front gate was not closed when I left early in the morning so anyone could have gone in. They proposed an airport transport for 850 Rand, while an Uber was about half that price.

I was looking for accommodation near V&A Waterfront. Brenwin is approximately a 15 min very safe easy walk to the Waterfront with a small, well-supplied supermarket and eating places at the end of the street. All the staff were fabulous. They couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. I went to Heather (Reception) with a list of questions about my stay in Cafe Town, even how to tie a scarf on my head and Heather came through. Thanks Heather. A home away from home and provided scales to weigh my luggage. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We picked Brenwin Guest House because it has so much character. We loved the old world European charm, the French doors with leaded glass, the beautiful wood work, the sun streaming through the cozy dining area, the outdoor seating gazebos in a beautiful garden setting, and, of course, our view of the pool. The breakfasts were made to order omelets with lots of fruits, meats, and cheeses, along with cereals and yoghurt. Delicious every day! It was an easy, straightforward, safe walk to the Virginia and Alfred Waterfront. A security guard opened the gated area when we first arrived late at night before we received our own key. The guesthouse neighborhood is so quiet that we had a good night's sleep every night in a very comfortable bed. And the small staff--both in reception and in the kitchen--is lovely. They answered our every question, helped us with Uber, and even prepared breakfast early for us on our all-day tour. I would highly recommend this guesthouse over a sterile, uniform hotel room.

Brewin was outstanding. - the housekeeping staff was friendly and helpful (and you can have laundry done for a small fee!). Breakfast was ample with yogurt, fruit, several types of bread, coffee, tea, several cereals, cheeses, and, if you want - full hot cooked breakfast. T -The room was spacious and lovely. My "queen" bed was, in fact, two twins pushed together. I only used one. The property is lush - although with the weather I had, I wasn't able to enjoy it other than visually. The building is decorated with homey antigues. Charming. -The property is walking distance (one block) from a main street where there is a (smaller) woolworths for grocery shopping. here is a security person at the gate. My only issue was when I checked in - it was late, tehre was load shedding - and the person who checked me in didn't show me the emergency light or other electric related things. (a kind guest walked by - my door open to try to get light, and showed me some of the available work arounds for the electric situation.). I stayed for a full week and would 100% recommend this to anyone.

the RAIN! - ok - they couldn't do anything about that.

This is a clean, comfortable place with excellent value for the money. The staff is very friendly, and the location is quiet, feels safe, and is reasonable walking distance to popular destinations. The guesthouse and grounds have a quaint feel to them; not “corporate” at all.

Everything was fine and functional, but some of the fixtures are a little tired, especially in the bathroom. This wasn’t a problem at all, but something to be aware of. The hotel is located up a short hill, which may be a factor for some people walking to/from the hotel off the main street below.

The breakfast selection was superb - cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts every morning. Followed by a selection of cooked breakfast choices and coffee and tea. The location was lovely and safe: Near enough to the V&A waterfront for all our needs but not too far to take an uber back at night time. Our room was lovely and clean and the beds very comfortable. The gardens were beautifully maintained and the pool area was lovely - if not a little cold! Roger and Heather in reception were really friendly and helpful.

We would have preferred a room on the ground floor as ours was out the back and up a steep set of wooden stairs! A more modern toaster is needed in the dining room and everyone makes their own toast using two very old toasters which weren't really up to the job!

We had flat 24 for a 2 nights stay. Nice private outside area. Plenty of space with good kitchen facilities if needed. Location is very good with restaurants within a 5 minutes walk and the V & A waterfront only 10 minutes walk away. Cape Town stadium also 10 minutes walk. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast choice with hot items cooked to order from a small menu.

Not a dislike but something to be aware of - there are several steps from the entrance to the house itself so may give a problem to anyone with mobility issues.

Brenwin Guest House is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. Everything is fantastic there, from the beautiful house itself, to it's location, wonderful staff, excellent hostess Heather who is exceptional, cleanliness, delicious breakfasts, and very comfortable rooms. Brenwin Guest House is close to everything, with great restaurants, shops and the Victoria and Alfred Mall close by.

Everything was perfect for us, no complaints!

After arriving late at night at Cape Town Airport, our taxi driver took us to the Brenwin Guesthouse. The welcome, despite the late hour, went very smooth. The room is basic, with a nice garden. Breakfast is ok, not really special. Location is excellent! Supermarket is within short walking distance. Waterfront is also within walking distance. For us, the guesthouse was perfect for the first night in Cape Town. Our rental car was delivered at the Brenwin. Very friendly staff. I had a few questions before we arrived, and the reception answered this always quick. Thank you!

Brenwin Guest House was truly excellent - my brother and I needed a place to stay for one night between trips to other parts of the coast, and the pictures of the swimming pool really won me over. We had a twin bedroom with small kitchen/living room, which was good value for the price. The swimming pool courtyard was lovely and private, and breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. The staff were extremely gracious in letting us stay by the pool the following day until we needed to head to our next destination, and even let us keep some food bits in their office fridge. The guesthouse is also close to some really good restaurant and coffee shop options, and super close to the V&A Waterfront. Would certainly stay here again, and would recommend to others.

I don't know if anything could have been improved - perhaps a more sturdy door to the bathroom.
