Ab Fab! Treat yourself - Derwent House is a wonderful find in a very convenient part of Cape Town. The hospitality, comfort, food, service, situation, price, friendliness and information/assistance available, all rate as exceptional. Carol (and Jo and the rest of the staff) go out of their way to make this a home from home and it all comes highly... more

My wife and I stayed twice at the Derwent house during our month-long trip to South Africa in June and July 2008. We recommend it highly. Viewed simply as accommodation, it’s excellent.

Surrounded by top restaurants we were... more

The common living areas are super comfortable, with a roaring fire... more
