    "Keith is a great host, friendly and helpful.The location of Maxwells is in a quiet suburb yet close to arterial routes. Beware that traffic is heavy at peak hour but ok if you travel counter flow.The morning view of the mountain from our room is spectacular.Would recommend for out of CBD stay."

    23 May 2017

    "The guest house was adequate for our stay and served only as a place to sleep and get ready for the day's adventures. The manager is friendly enough but the house is badly in need of maintenance and the breakfast is nothing to write home about."

  • "Felt like home"

    27 March 2016

    "What a beautiful house and suburb! We were travelling as a couple and would stay at Maxwell's again any day!<div>Delicious breakfast every morning (Cereals, fruits and yoghurt and Keith even makes bacon and eggs)</div><div>For those concerned about privacy: It is very private and you come and go as you please. Each room has an en-suite bathroom. The rooms are very "homey", comfortable and have beautiful views. The house is clean and neat and a great environment to relax after a full day of sight seeing and travelling.</div>"

  • "Great guest house!"

    06 March 2015

    "We had a great time at Appian House. It is in the beautiful, safe suburb of Newlands and is a short walk from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, where you can also catch the Hop On/Hop Off Capetown tour bus. The house is spotlessly clean and quiet. Keith is a great host and makes a fantastic breakfast. A pleasant upmarket shopping mall is only a few minutes' drive away. Excellent value for money.<br />"

  • "Splendid time"

    01 March 2015

    "So close to Kirstenbosch, and not far from Rondebosch and the city centre, we could travel everywhere easily. By far the best B&amp;B (or hotel for that matter) that we've been to. All the amenities to make for a comfortable stay, and a very obliging host in Keith."

  • "Great stay!"

    19 November 2014

    "We had a wonderful stay at Appian House. We loved the beautiful surroundings and our rooms had everything we needed. Not being from Cape Town we liked that we could reach the major highways quickly to get to our various destinations. We'll definitely keep your place in mind if we are in Cape Town again. Thanks Keith! Nicole, Damian and Chantl"
