The Walden Suites

The only regret I have is that we only booked into the Walden Suites for 2 nights. Melanie was amazing, supporting us with flexibility, warmth and perfect hospitality. The beds were comfortable, the pool refreshing, the breakfast delicious and great tips for how to feel at home in Sea Point. It was a very relaxing stay for my partner and I. Only challenge was the construction work waking us up earlier than we would have liked on holiday. Some plant-based milk (oat / almond whatever) at breakfast would also be appreciated by those with similar dietry requirements.

The Walden Suites in Fresnaye is probably one of the best boutique guest houses in Cape Town. It is located within a lovely residential road in Fresnaye within a 20 minute walk of bustling Seapoint with its great shops and restaurants. On arrival we were met by the lovely and vivacious Melanie,one of the owners along with the very helpful and multi tasking Shadreck. All the rooms a spotlessly clean, spacious and very well presented including fresh flowers, there own branded shower gel, soap and room spray. The swimming pool area has views towards the sea and Robben Island. Their is a great breakfast with plenty of choice including bacon and eggs, fresh fruit and lovely bread and croissants. I could go on and on how good The Walden is but the best thing to do is come and experience it yourself, you won't be disappointed, we certainly will be back for another visit.

an absolute dream, the guest house is very child-friendly, my two children felt at home and the host Melanie did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. I can recommend the guest house to anyone who is looking for something special. This will definitely always be our first choice when we are in Cape Town, we are already looking forward to our next stay.

This is a very nice place to stay in Capetown. It’s clean, the room is comfortable and there is a lovely garden with a nice pool. Good breakfast. We arrived very late(01.30 am) but we were very kindly welcomed. Neighbourhood is safe. I would strongly recommend this place.

Had a fantastic 4 night stay in the suite on the ground floor. Very comfortable and authentic guest house. Rooms are clean with lots of focus on detail. Highlight is the small garden patio were you can have your breakfast in the sun. Honesty bar available but you can also go fetch a wine from the super market around the corner and leave it in the fridge provided for guests. Service is super friendly and Melanie + team are great in providing recommendations for the area. Area is safe and lots of restaurants in walking distance. Highly recommend The Walden Suites.

This is a wonderful place to stay, centrally located with an amazing staff. Views are wonderful as well and the breakfast was excellent. We really enjoyed our entire time here, if you are looking for a place to stay in Cape Town this is an excellent choice.
