Thank you for such great hospitality Elisabeth. The property is gorgeous, large and had everything we could have needed. A beautiful area, well connected and exactly what we needed for a few days in Cape Town.

This property is just a beautiful place with character and lots of space inside and out. We had a lovely private garden area with sun beds and small pool and dining area with steps up to the entrance with a lovely terrace which ran the full length of the building and had a great view of the Lion's head and Table mountain. Elisabeth and Eric looked after us so well, and what a bonus to meet Alfie the great dane and chatting to Roy. The area, in 'Gardens' is quiet and we felt extremely safe there with plenty of room on the street to park our car. This is without doubt the best accommodation we have stayed in in Cape town and hope to return next year.
Could have stayed longer!

Firstly Elisabeth and Eric were great hosts. The views of Table Mountain and Lions Head were incredible. The location was extremely safe and very located with a cheap taxi down to main areas. Oh and Alfie the dog was a proper softie and enjoyed the fuss.

The property itself was absolutely gorgeous. Large bedroom and enormous bathroom all perfectly decorated, feeling luxury and homely at once. The pool area was spectacular, nestled between Table Mountain and Lion's Head with views every direction. Eric and Elisabeth were attentive and kind hosts. We were incredibly well looked after.
Gardens is our favourite neighbourhood in Cape Town. Great vibes, lots of quirky places to eat and drink and felt very safe.
If you're considering booking this place, just do it! We will definitely be back.
Honestly nothing at all!

Large beautiful space, internally and externally, with own entrance. The accommodation felt larger than it looks on Booking.com.
It had a fantastic private outside space with various areas and terrace to relax in between outings.
The whole interior is period glamorous, particularly the bathroom and is gorgeous and comfortable. Very tastefully furnished with a comfortable large bed.
Very good location, close to the top of Kloof street, with it’s many fantastic restaurants and bars.
Our host Elisabeth was lovely and we felt lucky to spend 6 days there in glorious weather. Will definitely visit again.

This is an amazing place! Reality far exceeded expectations! Photos do not convey the beauty of this place! Stunningly beautiful home filled with warmth and comfort! Very cool decor!

This was our second time in South Africa and second time staying at Elizabeth’s property, as we love it so much! A lovely bedroom with spacious bathroom and separate small kitchen area. Absolutely beautiful terrace / small pool to relax with the most stunning views. Eric/Elizabeth were both so helpful once again.
Hopefully we will return a third time!!

Superb location in this quiet and safe part of the city with stunning views of Table Mountain and LIons Head. Elisabeth and Eric made us feel very welcome. The fabulous terrace pool and front verandah are generiously equipped with loungers and exterior furniture and perfect for relaxing in the summer sunshine. The bedroom is large and well furnished opening up onto the verandah which is so nice on hot summer mornings. The shower room was exceptionally well equipped with a lovely large shower enclosure and powerful shower. We were thankful for the air conditioning in the hot weather. Elisabeth had thought of everything and we found this the perfect base for visiting the city. What made this stay even more special for us was the privacy we enjoyed at this superb residence. We plan to return.
We were happy with everything.

Elisabeth is such a friendly and accommodating host. She was exceptional and she would respond to our questions right away. Eric was also super helpful and made sure our stay was top notch - he was very friendly and accommodating in every sense.
It felt like we were staying at our own private mini villa with our own mini pool (which the size was perfect), beautiful scenic views of the Lions head and Table mountain. Lovely terrace to enjoy the wonderful surroundings, super clean and comfortable space. Located in a safe and beautiful location such as the Gardens - easy access to get around town. Free parking available in front of the building, cool bars and restaurants in the area. The perfect setting for your Cape Town getaway. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We loved it. Thank you Elisabeth and Eric x
Everything was perfect :)

A very beautiful and relaxing location with outstanding views on the Lion‘s Head and Tafelberg.
The apartment had everything you needed and even more. We loved the house from the outside and inside.
A perfect stay especially with the short distance to all great sightings in Cape Town and around.

We loved our stay at Elizabeth’s beautiful property. It is so private despite being part of Elizabeth’s house, you get your own mini kitchen with fridge and table as well as bedroom and bathroom and then private terrace and mini pool. the views from the pool are absolutely stunning - you look right onto table mountain. The bed was extremely comfortable and lovely powerful hot shower. Importantly, Elizabeth and Eric were both really great hosts and were contactable at all times. You simply said the previous evening when you would like breakfast and this was brought to you (lovely continental breakfast with yoghurts, croissants and fruit and Elizabeth even bought dairy free milk for me as advised). Fantastic location just 15 minutes walk (or a couple of minutes in an Uber) from Kloof Street. If we come back to Cape Town then we wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Kensington Views. It holds special memories for us - particularly as we got engaged whilst staying there!!
Couldn’t fault a thing.

Kensington Views is a total gem, it feels like coming home. It's even better than it looks at the spectacular photos. What a luxury to have a whole floor and terrace by yourself, for example. The house is perfectly located in a calm and beautiful surronding. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and caring. We had the best vacation here. We have just booked our next stay at Cape Town at this wonderful place, for next year. It's just perfect!

This guest house is ideally located in one of the calmest residential area of Cape Town, it is a great location to go on to your visits in or out of town. Parking is available and free just in front of the house.
We felt just like at home thanks to the warm welcome from Elizabeth and Eric. The room and amenities are top notch with a big comfortable bed and a huge bathroom. You also have access to a lovely garden area with a view on table mountain.
I really recommend this guest house and will definitely keep it in my address book for next time we are back in Cape Town.
Nothing to declare !
