Pros:

Wunderschönes Guest House in optimaler Lage in Kapstadt. Wir hatten das Zimmer in der oberen Etage und einen schönen, sonnigen Balkon. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, abwechslungsreich und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Das Bett und Bettwäsche war ausserordentlich komfortabel.

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen, vielen Dank liebes Harpers Team.

Ideal property location for sights in Cape Town
Pros:

Harpers House was in an excellent location. The staff were courteous and always smiling and made our stay special. The house was originally of the early 1900s and some of the original style and features were evident giving the accommodation a classic feel. Can thoroughly recommend the property.

Cons:

No issues although the lighting in the bedroom could be brighter.

Beautiful building with lovely rooms. Friendly staff and excellent service. The only thing we were not so keen on was that the light in the room was very dark.

Pros:

We really liked the neighbourhood, which did not feel touristy, but was still easy to get to everything. We could also walk to a number of restaurants.
The ceilings were high and the bedrooms large. Breakfast was delicious and was served on the garden terrace.
We were able to park our car within the gates of the property.

Cons:

They request that you give your breakfast order to reception by 10pm on the evening before, which is no problem in principle, but one evening I forgot and rushed back to do so in time and encountered another couple that were doing the same.
