Great view at the Table Mountain as well as the ocean and downtown. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Bathroom could be bigger but the view was also stunning! The contact with the owner was prompt and the airport transfer perfectly arranged.
What a view!!!!!. Clean, neat. Felt safe. Friendly staff. Crispy linen. The only negative point is that the hallway smells musty. And waking up at five with the Mosque being close might upset some people.
I stayed at Upperbloem for about 9 days, and during my stay everything went smoothly. I arrived at the airport a bit later than I expected, and I was worried I would miss my check-in, but they made sure someone stayed behind to give me the keys. My room was very clean and I was very hungry when I arrived so I was pleasantly surprised to find some milk in the fridge. They also had muesli, an energy bar, and everything you need to make coffee or tea. The views of the city and Table Mountain from my room was amazing. The staff was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. If you need to shop for groceries or get lunch, everything is close by. The city center is 10 minutes away by car. I highly recommend using a car to reach the hotel because it is up on a hill and the incline is incredibly steep.
Small but beautiful room with fantastic view over the city. Breakfast and service was good. On top of the hill it was very windy at night. The pool was clean and we enjoyed it at our stay. Thanks for all.
We enjoyed four nights at Upperbloem and found the spacious mountain view apartment was perfect for our needs. We were able to cook our supper. It is a very steep hill up to the guest house, but despite being in our 70's my sister and I took it slowly and managed fine. We walked back from the bus station for the hop on hop off bus, and once from the Waterfront, but most people probably use Uber. Katrin was a gracious host welcoming us with coffee, crackers and fruit, and offering us wine/beer or soft drinks one evening which was much appreciated. She also gave me a sewin kit when I needed to mend something. We did not try the pool, as we got in just in time to cook dinner, play scrabble and go to bed each evening. There are not two beds, but one of us slept on the couch with an extra duvet which worked well.
South Africa has a "load shedding" system in place right now, which is rotating power cuts, so you may have no power for a couple of hours at a time... it happened some evenings at the all accommodations we stayed at. Katrin warned us via email.
Our room had a table on a little patio with a view of the mountain over the wall.
