A memorable Christmas stay in Noordhoek
I had a wonderful time in the guesthouse! I love the area as it's close to Noordhoek Beach, one of the best beaches in Cape Town and not far from Constantia Valley (for visiting wine estates and hiking Table Mountain). The room wasn't huge but more than enough for one person and the private terrace was just perfect. The breakfast was really good and the owners of the guesthouse, Marc and Marjolijn even organised a delicious Christmas braai (a traditional South African barbecue) for the guests. I wish I could have stayed a little longer.

Beautiful gem in Noordhoek
We only stayed at African Queen for one night. We arrived early, and were greeted by Marc, the owner. He invited us in, provided us with a welcome drink as well as some very informative tips on things to do in the area. We then left our luggage (as our room was not available yet), and only arrived quite late again with Marc welcoming us back, our heater switched on in the room, and the luggage safely next to our bed. African Queen is your typical guesthouse. The rooms are located inside the house, with access through the main door. The room did not have a TV, but a communal TV Lounge is available . You are served with a continental breakfast. In our opinion, the warm heartedness of the owners makes this a special little guesthouse.

lovely stay, worth the extra drive
I had a very brief stop over at the African Queen. The place is comfortable and neat while the owners are very friendly. Possibly not ideal for business as the location is somewhat out of town, personally I welcomed this and will in future just factor in some extra traveling time. I can definitely recommend a stay here.

Lovely guest house in a gorgeous setting
The African Queen is a lovely guest house in a gorgeous part of the Cape Peninsula. And best of all--the hosts are incredibly warm and helpful.

Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere
I was made to feel extremely welcome by the owners and everyone there. The ensuite room itself was a good size with private terrace overlooking the gardens. The level of cleanliness throughout was excellent. The breakfast provided was of a very high standard with a great deal of choice. African Queen offers great value for money, with a relaxed, home from home feel. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Friendly luxory guest house
A real home from home so we were able to relax immediately. Excellent service. Superb breakfasts. Hosts were happy to advise about local sights and provide tips about excursions. Located in an estate, a short driving distance from Noordhoek beach,easy access to Cape Town. Lovely paddock and pretty garden. High standard of cleanliness,property well maintained and decorated to a good standard.

We kregen 2 familiekamers met verbindingsdeur tussenbeide. Héél fijn alS je met vrienden op stap bent :). De kinderen sliepen boven op een platform, was wel leuk, maar met 2 15-jarigen en 2 11-jarigen bleek de hoogte tot het plafond wel vrij laag. De ontbijtruimte én zithoek was prachtig, we konden zelfs de keuken en BBQ gebruiken tegen betaling (125 zar). Mooie setting ook buiten. Zwembad, trampoline, ligzetels, alles netjes. We kijken terug op een aangenaam verblijf!

Ett trevligt hotell som kan finslipa på wi-fi
Hyrbil är bra att ha om man ska bo här, finns cyklar att låna för att ta sig mellan vingårdarna. Mat och spa går att beställa maten kommer efter 45 min, prisvärt. Frukosten var ok. Det är vackert runt hotellet och perfekt om man vill koppla av i en lantlig miljö.

Relaxed en mooi guesthouse in prachtige omgeving
Mooi guesthouse met goede voorzieningen in prachtige en rustige omgeving. De eigenaars van dit guesthouse zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt is prima en er is gedurende de dag volop ruimte om te ontspannen in de gezamenlijke ruimtes of bij een van de twee zwembaden. De kamers zijn ruim en voorzien van alle comfort. Binnen 20 tot 30 minuten rijden zit je in Simon's Town, Boulders Beach, Kalk Bay, Muizenberg en Kaapstad zelf etc. Er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving en in Noordhoek zitten diverse goede restaurants en eetgelegenheden. Noordhoek heeft ook een mooi zandstrand. Kortom; lekkere plek om even een paar dagen tot rust te komen van de gezellige hectiek van Kaapstad en de Cape Peninsula te ontdekken!

Wonderful hotel!
We had a lovely stay with my husband at the hotel. The hotel is super cozy, beatiful and the breakfast is just wonderful. The couple running the place is very friendly and they gave us some tips where to eat and what to do in the area. I really recommend the place to everyone.

一人旅 in ケープタウン
ホテルの清潔感、対応、食事のどれをとっても良い。ケープタウンの観光情報を親切に教えて頂けた。 ただ、立地は郊外にある為徒歩圏内には何もないため、レンタカー等の移動手段を考える不便がある。

Romantic & Relaxing
African Queen is a very romantic, clean and comfortable questhouse in the Cape Peninsula, located south of Cape Town. For those having a car this is a perfect place to stay as all tourist attractions in the peninsula are within driving distance. Being located on the country side African Queen offers a relaxing landscape, as well as several great restaurants in the nearby area. This is one of the best places we ever stayed, and we would love to stay there again.
