Four Rosmead Guest House

Adam Chapman, South Africa

Four Rosmead Guest House is probably our favourite guest house in Cape Town. The owner and managers offer a very personalised service. We love the combination of classic and contemporary design and the unique artwork (which is also for sale). It has a brilliant location close to shops and restaurants and within an easy driving distance to all of the major attractions. It is well priced for what is offers and we have no hesitation recommending it.
