Walking into Maartens Guest House in Cape Town is like stepping into the home of a good friend. The warmth of the rooms and the down-to-earth atmosphere make Maartens feel more like a home than a guest house.
It is this warm and cosy feeling that makes this Fresnaye guest house a good option on your list when travelling in Cape Town.
From the sundeck to the cosy pool area, to the homely living room, and the comfortable chic bedrooms – Maartens Guest House gives you good value for money. Throw in the colourful character of the owner Maarten, and you’ve got a great place to enjoy for a few days before or after a trip.
Many visitors see the guest house as a homestead during their travels in South Africa – Maartens becomes a place from which they can explore and experience Cape Town as if they were staying with friends.
The lounge and dining room offer a comfortable place to relax and socialise with fellow guests and share experiences of travels. Wooden floors, soft suede fabrics, freshly cut flowers, and touches of red, orange, and beige all come together to make the living room feel well lived in and effortlessly chic.
Guests are made to feel at home with great services like a fully stocked honesty bar, board games, television, fresh fruit, magazines and books, DSTV, and complimentary wireless internet.
The value of personalised services offered by guest houses like Maartens are important when considering accommodation in Cape Town.
Maartens Guest House offers a variety of rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, to suit any budget. From the standard room for young couples or individual travellers to the luxury room complete with king size bed and pure cotton linen, there is something for everyone.
Each room is individually styled to create contemporary interior design with a homey feel. To top it all off each room is infused with a hint of African flavour.
Some of the rooms have balconies with excellent views of the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island and the beautiful Cape Town coastline. The house also has a swimming pool and patio dining area for lounging in the warmer summer months.
Come rain or shine Maartens always has a variety of activities and suggestions lined up for guests to experience. Its central location makes it the ideal places to stay when visiting the Mother City.
When searching for places to stay in Cape Town, guest houses are often a more intimate alternative to hotels and can add a unique experience to your travels.
There is something special about the atmosphere a guest house brings. It is the unique experience of meeting up with like-minded travellers around the breakfast table, having a game of cards with a fellow tourist and relative stranger, and swapping stories of your travels in South Africa with new best friends over a bottle of wine.
