Upper Contantia Guest House is MORE than portrayed through description and photographs and that doesn't happen very often! We were all extremely pleased. The Guest House is very secluded and because of beautifully placed landscape we couldn't even see the other home on the property! Upper Constantia is a very upscale area, yet Martin and the guest house are very casual, warm, and inviting--nothing pretentious about either. Martin was wonderful about responding quickly to emails and meeting our needs (cot, high chair, fan). Martin was very considerate to the fact that we were traveling with a baby and was understanding as far as our check in and check out times so that our grand-baby could nap upon arrival and before departure.

The Guest House is impeccably clean and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised at how VERY spacious the Guest House is. My husband and I, our daughter, son-in-law and grand-baby stayed together and each had our own bedroom. We grandparents were tucked away in our own spacious nook which gave relief to our daughter as we were never woken in the night by our grand-baby who was having a bit of jet lag (although we wouldn't have minded:) It was wonderfully quiet for us all. We recently stayed along the waterfront in Cape Town and were worn out by the end of our trip--too busy and loud. Upper Constantia Guest House was a true retreat! We all sighed as we pulled into "our home" at the end of a day of touring. When we turned in for the night, we also felt very safe and protected.

The Guest House was so nice and comfortable that we enjoyed our time at "home" as much as touring. We enjoyed having meals at the Guest House in addition to sitting and visiting in the lounge and even watching a DVD with our grand-baby. The beautiful Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden's is literally minutes away so we were able to enjoy it the very day we flew in. We frequented the nearby Constantia Village for groceries (Woolworths), brunch and lunch at Tasha's (delicious), and petrol--the village had anything and everything we could have needed.

We can not recommend the Upper Constantia Guest House enough! It is lovely beyond words. Thank you Martin, for our wonderfully peaceful retreat in Upper Constantia. Your Guest House pleased all who stayed from our one year old grand daughter (her favorite was the playground) to her 28 year old mama, 32 year old daddy, and the 52 year old grandparents. From young to older, we all felt blessed to call Upper Constantia Guest House "home" for a few wonderfully relaxing days. Martin even had the American flag on the flag pole to welcome his American guests! We LOVED our stay...thank you!
