Bella Ev Guest House

So far so disappointing. There is little service to speak of. Rubbish taken away but bed not made and dishes not washed (these are from other guests too). An effusive welcome on Day 1 and then you can't find anyone to help you. Instant tea and coffee and a few teabags provided, no milk. For R1000 a night without breakfast, this is a rip-off.

Wonderful experience with lovely and welcoming hosts ! I loved the spirit of the house, the big bedroom, the hosts themselves and the location next to the beach. And on top of it, the meals and breakfasts were absolutely delicious. Conclusion - I'm choosing to go back there for my next stay in Cape Town.

Bella Ev is centrally located in Muizenberg and within walking distance to restaurants and the beach. The house overlooks a beautiful, historic park and you can park safely in front of the house at night. It's a great location for exploring the area with a short drive to Kalk Bay for more great restaurants and local shops. Cape of Good Hope and the national park are a great day-trip and easy, scenic drive. Our hosts were wonderful, friendly and helped with all our questions about the area. The room was large and comfortable with old world charm and access to the garden out back. We took the B&B option and had breakfast in the main house dining room each morning. Breakfasts were substantial and delicious and we enjoyed talking with the hosts each morning. I highly recommend Bella Ev for the hospitality, great location and value. I will definitely go back to stay on my next visit to the Western Cape!

Dear Friends in South Africa had recommended that I stay in this heritage guest house due to the warm hospitality and the close proximity to the famous white sand Muizenberg beach (Surfers Corner). Having stayed here I can now say that I am so glad that I followed their recommendation! Location: Perfect. Next to beach and across from a green belt. You can hear the waves at night (I stayed in the Napoleon room), I was woken up by gentle warm sunlight through one of the many windows, and it’s a 3 minute walk to the beach/all the quirky shops for a nice meal and buying beach gear. Hospitality: Amazing. My room had an antique extra long bath - I had come in stressed and exhausted and the owner Kerime noticed and offered to draw me an Epsom salt bath; I took her up on the offer, and so glad I did! Accommodation: Artistic and unique with personality. Evidently the guesthouse is a “Grand dame.” It has high ceilings, custom metal work, beautiful and unique furnishings and a feeling of coming “home.” This is for a traveler who appreciates good bones and gracious spaces - well loved but definitely not a modern aesthetic! Sleep: I slept deeply and peacefully. The sound of the waves lulled me gently to sleep and I felt safe and cozy under a fresh and warm duvet in a comfortable king sized sleigh bed. General vibe: Guests treated like a cross between family and royalty. I met really interesting international guests (German, Italian and Russian, to name a few) who were repeat guest over many years because they so enjoyed their previous stays. Breakfast: An experience. Don’t miss the breakfast! Beautifully set table, different each day and lovely special dishes - all unique. The owner has roots from the Ottoman Empire and the only thing better than the Turkish coffee she shares with the guests are her amazing stories. Last thoughts: After staying here and having an amazing experience, I can say this guesthouse is a place well cared for, with soul, where you feel cared for and special as a guest as well. The owner truly understands hospitality. I will definitely stay here again!

Die Atmosphäre war sehr freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend Man wurde als Fremder sofort in den Haushalt aufgenommen. Obwohl wir wenig Zeit hatten und immer auf dem Sprung waren. Danke für die schöne Zeit
