Chartfield Guesthouse

What a great surprise Chartfield turned out to be. I had booked online their cheapest rate and when I got there I was upgraded to a very spacious light room with sea glimpses. The staff were very hospitable and helpful. I didn't get to use the pool because it was a bit cool but being very central all of the venues of Kalk Bay were within walking distance. Hoghly recommmend it.

Staying at the Quays Apartment in Majestic Village was an absolute pleasure. It was a solo trip and as a woman I felt safe and secure. I was lucky to have a small view of the ocean from my patio, and so I loved spending time sitting in the sun, looking out to sea, reading and enjoying my meals. I also enjoyed being close to all the shops and restaurants. I felt so rejuvenated by this gifted solitary time at the sea. I will definitely return again. Thank you

We stayed two nights as we transitioned from safari to more vacation. Kalk Bay was our choice in destination. Chartfield proved a great spot for us, close access to the town and sea water.||The personnel were very welcoming and attentive. Allowed us to park our car in their driveway. Breakfast was included and bottomless. Excellent care and accommodations. I would return if travelling here again.

It's the small touches that make the difference! Hot water bottles at reception on a winter night when you get back after dinner. What a treat!! |All the staff that I interacted with were superb. The entire stay felt as if you were staying at a friends home. The energy between the staff make sit feel like a true family run hotel. Definitely recommending to friends.

Gorgeous. My room had a wonderful view of the bay and harbour. Guesthouse is within walking distance of everything, including Muizenberg (30 minutes fast walk). Breakfast was wonderful. I would've liked a comfortable common sitting area / lounge.

Blocked shower drains flooding the toilet area, promise of full sea view due to bad experience only to be short changed with a semi-partial view, a TV mounted so that if you'd like to watch it you need to sit in the toilet door corridor or crane your neck. No plugs at the desk so you need to find a long extension cord and a small blow heater to entirely dehydrate your skin and the room and use so much electricity. Not worth the 80 euro per night. Breakfast is not included. There are no coffee or tea stations in the rooms. Apparently they've been around for 12 years without any bad reviews. Alongside that lie, they promised an upgrade but are fully booked the next minute. Only if you bother to dbl check their story online or even directly mailing them, it's another lie. With so many fabulous options around every corner in Kalk Bay, this guesthouse is not one I'd recommend based on my experience.

I was in Cape Town solo and absolutely loved staying at the Chartfield Guest House. The location is perfect, the rooms are beautiful, the food delicious, and the staff beyond caring and professional. I would highly recommend it and will definitely return.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and loved it. Nice building, great rooms with nice beds (sleeping with the windows open and hearing the ocean is such a nice experience for someone who doesn’t live by the coast) and the breakfast is very extensive and delicious. Beach towels are available for dips in the nearby tidal pools. As mentioned by other reviewers, what really stands out here is the service. You can tell there’s a team that runs this place instead of ‘just staff’. Will definitely stay here again when we go to Kalk Bay in the future!
