We stayed at Rose Lodge and this is the best place ever. We were treated like family, and Bruce is an DARLING !! We enjoyed his company and those of his "children" Coco and Teddy! We thank him and the service and friendship he give to us with so much love ! Thank you Bruce !

Clean, modern, and very comfortable. Well situated in the city, in the very cute bo kaap neighbourhood. Bruce and his two cute doggies were there to check me in and were very hospitable. Would highly recommend this spot!

What a disappointment. Although the Rose Lodge is well located as is its other properties, our expectations were barely met. We never saw the owners despite glowing reviews in Trip Advisor about the helpfulness and warmth of the owners. It is basically a self-catering operation that provides visitors with the bare necessities. It is clean and it's location allows visitors... More

This was our fourth stay at Rose Lodge and it was as great as ever. It's a small (only 2 rooms) comfortable guest house with a great, very central location - only 10 minutes walk to Greenmarket Square, and 20 minutes to the Waterfront. Bruce offers information about restaurants nearby (of which there are several) and general tourist information. He... More

Whenever we think of Cape Town, we think of Bruce, Coco and Teddy in the colourful neighbourhood of Bo Cap. We had a nice little room in this lovely guesthouse and really felt at home! Bruce, a Canadian who had lived many years in Germany, switched with us from English to German and from German to French without any problems..... More

I loved the room I had in the Rose Lodge. I saw the sun rise in the morning and when I came back from the exhausting touristic life events, it felt like coming home. Everything was clean and the arrangements we made were working out perfect. I would definitely recommand it to everyone.
