Cape Standard Guest House

Tucked away in a quiet street in Green Point, Cape Town, the Cape Standard Guest House is perfectly placed to get to the Cape's beautiful beaches, glamorous mountains, the City centre, De Waterkant, the World Cup soccer stadium and the V&A Waterfront. Shop, go art hunting, go clubbing, hike, stroll the Sea Point promenade, eat your heart out, or just chill; it is Cape Town after all. Stylish, yet really affordable, the Cape Standard has everything you need for business or pleasure. Wireless, with Internet access, get wired or just unwind. Breakfast is included; rudely healthy, or a full English heart clogger, your choice. Sundowners on the deck are a fabulous end to any Cape Town day.

Merge into the chilled communal areas; it’s like floating into a postcard from Zanzibar, Ibiza, or Key West. Lush tropical plants frame a cool plunge pool waving green eyelashes. Weathered wooden decking tempts you to kick off those designer shoes and lounge around on an eccentric chic mix of tropical print bamboo furniture and a pair of hip Barcelona chairs. Take a nap on a sun bleached raised daybed. The walls are lined with amazing art, and an extraordinary shell encrusted mirror will tell you how utterly fabulous you look.

Swan upstairs to one of eight fusion modern retro rooms. Chic bold coloured headboards make a design splash and the generous wet room bathrooms are lined in glass mosaic tiles with slick chrome sanitary wear. Hang up your fashion fundamentals, sample the bar fridge, make yourself tea or coffee; pop your essentials into the safe and watch a little satellite TV, all ingeniously set into custom designed built in cupboards. All rooms are double sized with fans, fresh white percale linen, direct line telephones and hairdryers. The downstairs rooms are comfortable and super simple with whitewashed floors; drift off in a scented cloud of jasmine that floats through the windows.
