Home from home - My partner and I stayed at the Moonglow Guest House within the last week of September for one week. My partner is a home grown South African now living in... read more the UK with family living close to the Guest House.
Our immediate impression of the Moonglow Guest House was wow. Wow to the location, wow to the views from the Guest House and wow to the Guest House and rooms. Gillian and Glen are remarkably welcoming, helpful and polite. When we booked this Guest House we took in account the positive reviews this place had and we were not disappointed. Gillian and Glen greeted us like old friends and it truly felt like home from home to us. The staff were equally welcoming and quick to help if needed. The rooms are exemplary and easily five star rating. The quality displayed in the clean beds and freshly ironed sheets, quality en-suite, the tasty freshly cooked breakfasts with hassle free service, the beautiful resting rooms and bar classily decorated. Our room opened up onto a beautiful balcony that provided us with more space. One morning whilst on the balcony we watched Southern Right Whale idly swim by. Amazing!
There is so much to say positively about this place but little space in this review to write. The location is perfectly positioned part way on a hill side and this gives the most amazing and breath taking views were no matter where you are within the Guest House you are blessed with mountain, sea and beach views altogether. My camera was never tired of taking snaps of the views.
We aim to make this visit more frequently and will not stay anywhere else. We will see you again! Martin and Korri

28/02/2022A haven of peace - I had to travel and stay in CapeTown for medical reasons. We found Moonglow as we were rushing through the last minute preparation of the trip. I feel so fortunate... read more that I hit gold with this location. At time when I had to be going through medical tests and examinations, and managing the results, my corner room at Moonglow became this haven of peace, where the views to the ocean, the magical light of the sun raising behind the mountains across the bay provide peace and solace. And more important, the loving care of Gillian, Glynn and the family, the attention to details for a place that runs so smoothly, made this place a one of a kind. I cannot recommend it enough!
