We had a great stay at Atforest and would highly recommend it!Comfortable clean rooms and nice outside spaces to sit and enjoy the views of Table Mountain. Piet and Pat are very nice hosts and make you feel very welcome. The breakfast is fantastic with a huge selection of fresh fruit,yoghurts,cereals,cold meat,cheeses+breads followed by a cooked breakfast of your choice.... More

The service here was excellent and we were made to feel very much at home by our hosts. The breakfasts were very good with everything you could want. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. The Atforest Guest House is in a great location especially for Table Mountain which was the main purpose of our visit. The best part... More

We recently had 4 nights in the Atforest Guest House at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town and forgot to write our comments in the guest book. However if we had done so our remarks would have simply echoed those of previous guests who wrote that this is a wonderful b & b where we were all made... More

We stayed regularly in this B&B, for the last three years. Main reason: it splendid location, near by CBD and Labia movies, with good restaurants in a very alive area by evenings. Price was also affordable. A recent hike of prices (+ > 20 %!) makes the place now out of the good ratio quality/price it was previously offering. Rooms... More

This reviewer went to this same guest house for three years about three times a year before he decided to tell the public how bad it is. The reason: although he accepted the quote, he refused to pay his bill as it was 'too expensive' As I would not budge and insisted he pay the price quoted, he started fabricating... More

We stayed in the family room. The room, linen and bathroom was very clean. The futon is not suitable for children to sleep on. Noisy, squeaky floor boards. Breakfast good but very basic and the same every morning. Very limited parking. Friendly host. Will not stay again.

Atforest is just about the only guest house offering safe off street parking for up to six cars. All the four and five star guest houses in the area let their guests park in the street. This 'senior contributer" however, feels that she should complain about the parking. The less said, the better. The double futon sleeper couch in the... More

My wife and I have just stayed here for 4 days and really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is really nice and very handy to both Table Mountain & Kloof Street. The pool area also has nice views of Table Mountain. Many thanks Pat for a warm and lovely stay!

The guesthouse is very nice and located in Oranjezicht, which is a very clean, quiet and save area. Our room was a little small but very neat and clean.

We arrived early and we could get our room at that moment. Very nice room and we enjoyed our stay very much. The room was next to the swimming pool and had a nice view of the Table Mountain.Very safe area and close by a nice place(Carlucci's) to lunch or have a simple evening meal.

This guest house is located close to central Cape Town just beneath Table Mountain in the lovely district of Oranjezicht. The single room was sufficiently spacious and well-appointed with TV, safe, en suite shower room and wifi access.
