Brilliant weekend away
Excellent location in Kalk Bay - just ambling down the beautiful steps to several restaurant locations. That is if you want to leave the stunning views of the guesthouse porch. The room and amenities were in excellent condition.

Good value stay
Lovely staff and a very friendly welcome. Hotel has a lovely feel to it - amazing views and lots of lovely light. Generally cleanliness was great, apart from our bath in the room hadn’t been cleaned from the last guest so that wasn’t nice. There is a lovely pool area, but the covers on the sun loungers are looking quite sorry for themselves and need replacing really. It was also rather unusual to have a double bed made up… but with two single quilts. Even with these few elements not being up to scratch we still had a lovely stay and felt it was good for the price we paid.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved this place! I rented the loft room and there was a breeze, big windows and a fan, so I had no issues with it being too warm. I slept with the balcony door and windows open and it was lovely listening to the waves as I fell asleep. Breakfast was delicious! Hot tip: If you book directly with them, it's included. Really enjoyed the complementary coffee brought to my room. The location is fantastic. I walked to Dalebrook tidal pool and snorkeled there and later I walked to Kalky's in the harbour for delicious supper. No doubt I'd return here, it was just fantastic. A big treat!

We are so lucky to have found this beautiful hidden gem of a guest house in Kalk Bay. The service was absolutely exceptional. Lisa and all the staff couldn't have done enough for us and made us feel so welcomed. The breakfast served at Chartfield House is incredible. We ate here every morning for our two week stay. We loved it so much will be definitely stay here again.

Great location in Kalk Bay. Light sleepers beware!
The guest house is located close to the bars / restaurants / shops in Kalk Bay. The access point is up a inclined path - so might be tough for the less mobile traveller. The guesthouse itself has incredible views - a lovely spot to sit and watch the ocean / have a few drinks. Simple facilities but does the job for a few nights stay. They provide beach towels and umbrellas for the guests. My towel was not the cleanest - I found some bird poo when I unrolled the towel.. this could have been bad luck from when the towels were dried! I struggled on occasion to find staff to buy water from, or to check out for example. It feels like the ‘front of house’ still needs some work. The rooms are simple but fresh and good size. There were a few stray hairs on the bedding, but nothing too major. Bed was a good size and comfortable for 2. The main issue I had was the noise. The doors do not block any sound from the corridors, and the stairs / floorboards are extremely creaky. The guesthouse offers a complimentary tea/coffee from 7am - 9am. Between these hours I could hear the drinks being made, and the staff stomping around to deliver these to the guests. This might not bother everyone - but for me, a light sleeper, it was quite an issue. For these reasons I would say the guesthouse would serve you well for a night or two.. but I wouldn’t stay for much longer!

Nice hotel, good location
We recently stayed here and very much enjoyed ourselves. The rooms are nothing too fancy, but clean and decent size. We found the bed/pillows to be very comfortable- and the bathroom is quite large. The breakfast is very good, and I would definitely recommend it. Most of the restaurants in Kalk Bay seem to have a very similar menu, but as the hotel breakfast is a flat rate, it's more affordable. Plus the view is gorgeous from the back patio where they serve it. The staff was very polite. The pool is a good size and in a quiet area. We thought the location was perfect. Far enough from the main strip to be quiet, but it was literally at the end of the street- so very close walking distance to the other restaurants and bars. (Be warned, it is at the top of a steep hill though. So if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be the place for you) Wifi is not great though- and we even purchased it for our room. Its pretty slow and drops out a lot- but we found that to be true in a lot of places in South Africa. But even with that, I would still stay here again.
