Sonnekus Guest House

The house was beautifully decorated and directly opposite the beach in the lovely area of St. James. Cape Town. It was run with love from the family who personally own it. A very quiet home and our room faced the sea which was wonderful. We could hear the waves breaking and the view was breathtaking. Excellent breakfast all personally served by the family members. We can highly recommend this exquisite guest house. Nearby to Kalk Bay harbour and Boulders beach, Simonstown. As well as muizenberg. Lots to see and do on foot, jogging,cycling and surfing.

Everything was perfect.

Breakfast was excellent

Maybe the parking, but most areas have cameras monitoring cars

Very good location, owner and a room. Beautiful sea view and a bed. Thank you!

Always nice to stay at the establishment. Always clean and the host are very friendly.

Pat and Skipper Mike and the entire staff are fantastic. They make you feel welcome and appreciated. It feels like a home away from home. The breakfast is superb and the location is a few steps away from a wonderful beach. The guest house has excellent water management and storage so that the guests do not need to fear water shortages (respect for water conservation and common sense still applies). The rooms are beautifully equipped and very clean. The hosts go lengths for their guests (instead of letting me catch an Uber they insisted to drive me at no additional cost to a nearby pharmacy to get sunscreen). Both hosts are certified tourist guides as well and have an immense wealth of knowledge of the country and region in particular. Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek are in walkable distance with great restaurants. The trail up the hill is an unforgettable experience with breath taking views. We will be back for sure.

During rush hour the traffic can be a bit annoying and loud.
