    "Excellent view and all the things we needed. Had a great time, will see you again!"

  • "Good value for money"

    01 October 2014

    "The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that there are a number of maintenance issues, which I later notified the owner about."

  • "Great"

    13 January 2014

    "A great home and we had time there.Beautiful location and great view from the Balcony."

  • "Home away from home"

    11 November 2013

    "We had an amazing stay at Marianella it was truly home away from home very comfortable and welcoming. We will definitely be returning."

  • "Great"

    30 September 2013

    "We had a great time in a beautiful spacious home, exceeded our expectations!!! Definitely coming back and referring to more people."

  • "The view took our breathe away!"

    08 August 2013

    "We booked four lodgings for a trip along the garden route, starting with a weekend at the Cape with Marianella as our home base. This was our least-expensive lodging and as it sometimes goes (when it goes right!) this was also our favorite! A great layout to the house, very well-appointed and comfy with the most unadorned, spectacular views we could imagine. Wow. You cannot go wrong with this house."

  • "Magnificent view and a lovely place to stay"

    17 June 2013

    "The good: What an incredible view! One side of the house overlooks False Bay, and shows an ever changing vista with the sun as it traverses the sky, the mountains that form the boundaries of bay, and activity of humans including ships, boats, cars and trains. Great location for day visits to attractions in and around Cape Town and surrounds. Truly impressive. The house is well built, warm in winter, very well set up, with lovely bed rooms, an excellent and well appointed kitchen and bathrooms, excellent bed linen etc. The owners were most hospitable and a pleasure to deal with. The bad: there were a couple of minor maintenance issues, which the owners said they would get fixed, but they were minor and did not stop us in any way from a memorable stay. Summary: Very highly recommended for a visit to Cape Town and its surrounds, especially for a larger group. We were a party of 12, and took both the house and the associated small apartment, which worked out very well."

  • "Awesome!"

    18 February 2013

    "Spent a weekend at the house and it was very peaceful and beautiful. Even though the guest house is so small, I felt it was nice and cosy just for my BF and I. We won't mind coming again. Thanks Wilma and Malcolm."

  • "Beautiful place"

    12 November 2012

  • "Awesome weekend"

    02 May 2012

    "We had a fantastic weekend. The house had everything we needed. All my friends said they had a great stay. We are definitely booking again for the end of August."

  • "Very comfortable accommodation"

    10 April 2012

    "This house has six bedrooms as well as a separate guest cottage. The house is perfect for a large group and offers privacy and comfort with all the modern amenities necessary for a lovely holiday. The full DSTV, freezer ice maker and lovely view are only some of the advantages of staying here. It is best if the guest cottage (which is attached to the main house) is not let to a seperate couple unknown to those in the main house, as the close proximity of the two could make things uncomfortable."

  • "Super"

    23 January 2012

    "The view from the balcony/terrace was super! The studio had everything you need, but was a little too small for two people. The landlady was very friendly and helpful. We can recommend this accommodation to everyone."

  • "Perfect venue"

    04 September 2011

    "A colleague and I spent two nightsat Marianella with our newly elected 2012 student leaders. It turned out to be the perfect venue for our planning session. The venue comfortably accommodated the 12 students and we were afforded some privacy by staying in the smaller one-bed cottage. The venue is very well equipped and offers all the home away from home luxuries one could wish for. It offers the most exquisite views and, for those cold winter days, the indoor fireplace is most welcome. Absolute value for money! Hosts, Malcolm and Wilma, are to be commended for their hospitality. Cedar House will most certainly be back."

We will definitely be back with the whole family."

  • "Awesome location"

    19 May 2009

We loved how it had such a warm invite, because the girls and i all stay away from home, so the home made us feel like we all where at home. Thank you so much to Mal and Wilma the girls really enjoyed staying at your home, that they now want to come back but in summer to fully experience the view that was soo amazing. Thanks once again.

  • "Definitely value for money!"

    09 April 2008

    "The villa is very nice (although the rooms we had were a bit small - compared to other rooms in the villa- but for the money wepaid? no complaint), nice view, clean, complete utensils and cooking ware - just make you feel at home. Location was also good - not exactly in the central of Simon's town, but if you have a car- it's perfect for your base to explore the area. Close to Boulders Beach (where the penguin is), walking distance to Scratch Patch, close to Kalk Bay, Fish Hook, and only 1/2 hour to Cape Point! "
