Cape Town, South Africa

Welgelegen Guest House

This is one of our most commonly booked properties in Cape Town. Welgelegen is a great mix of style, value and friendly South African hospitality.  — Mango's view

Welgelegen Guest House, its name meaning "well-located" in Dutch, is perfectly located at the heart of Cape Town's city bowl. Within walking distance are many of Cape Town's finest restaurants and pubs, the Company Gardens, National Museum and Art Gallery, and Greenmarket Square in the city center. Just 5-10 minutes by car, you can enjoy Table Mountain, Clifton Beaches, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and the Botanical Gardens.

The Guest House comprises two Victorian houses joined by a wonderful cobbled patio and granite plunge pool, enclosed by terraces of iceberg roses and fragrant star jasmine. You can begin your day here breakfasting in the clear morning sun, and end your evening sipping cool glasses of Cape Sauvignon under the stars and white fairy lights flickering among the surrounding foliage.

The 13 en-suite luxury bedrooms are all equipped with air conditioning, beautifully furnished interiors and fine cotton bedding. The secluded and tranquil courtyard offers views of Table Mountain, and a plunge pool to cool off in.

There are many things to see during your visit to Africa's most cosmopolitan city. Tours of the Cape Peninsula, Robben Island, whale watching, helicopter charters and deep sea fishing are a few of the interesting options available.

We will give you a list of Mango's favorite restaurants including The Africa Café. There you can enjoy a communal-style African feast that includes over 19 dishes from nearby African countries.
