Brenwin Guest House

I was looking for accommodation near V&A Waterfront. Brenwin is approximately a 15 min very safe easy walk to the Waterfront with a small, well-supplied supermarket and eating places at the end of the street. All the staff were fabulous. They couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. I went to Heather (Reception) with a list of questions about my stay in Cafe Town, even how to tie a scarf on my head and Heather came through. Thanks Heather. A home away from home and provided scales to weigh my luggage. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Brewin was outstanding. - the housekeeping staff was friendly and helpful (and you can have laundry done for a small fee!). Breakfast was ample with yogurt, fruit, several types of bread, coffee, tea, several cereals, cheeses, and, if you want - full hot cooked breakfast. T -The room was spacious and lovely. My "queen" bed was, in fact, two twins pushed together. I only used one. The property is lush - although with the weather I had, I wasn't able to enjoy it other than visually. The building is decorated with homey antigues. Charming. -The property is walking distance (one block) from a main street where there is a (smaller) woolworths for grocery shopping. here is a security person at the gate. My only issue was when I checked in - it was late, tehre was load shedding - and the person who checked me in didn't show me the emergency light or other electric related things. (a kind guest walked by - my door open to try to get light, and showed me some of the available work arounds for the electric situation.). I stayed for a full week and would 100% recommend this to anyone.

The breakfast selection was superb - cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts every morning. Followed by a selection of cooked breakfast choices and coffee and tea. The location was lovely and safe: Near enough to the V&A waterfront for all our needs but not too far to take an uber back at night time. Our room was lovely and clean and the beds very comfortable. The gardens were beautifully maintained and the pool area was lovely - if not a little cold! Roger and Heather in reception were really friendly and helpful.

Brenwin Guest House is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. Everything is fantastic there, from the beautiful house itself, to it's location, wonderful staff, excellent hostess Heather who is exceptional, cleanliness, delicious breakfasts, and very comfortable rooms. Brenwin Guest House is close to everything, with great restaurants, shops and the Victoria and Alfred Mall close by.

Brenwin Guest House was truly excellent - my brother and I needed a place to stay for one night between trips to other parts of the coast, and the pictures of the swimming pool really won me over. We had a twin bedroom with small kitchen/living room, which was good value for the price. The swimming pool courtyard was lovely and private, and breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. The staff were extremely gracious in letting us stay by the pool the following day until we needed to head to our next destination, and even let us keep some food bits in their office fridge. The guesthouse is also close to some really good restaurant and coffee shop options, and super close to the V&A Waterfront. Would certainly stay here again, and would recommend to others.
