Regular visitors to Cape Town, familiar with the city and looking for a central, fun and quirky, yet fully equipped and supremely comfortable “home from home”? Or friends travelling together, seeking the privacy and independence of your own space? Perhaps staying longer and wanting your own home?
Kelvin Cottage is the perfect option for independent travellers seeking private, self-contained, city-centre accommodation in our fabulous Gardens neighbourhood–steps from vibey Kloof Street and a short drive from all the sights and attractions Cape Town has to offer. Table Mountain overlooks the cottage and street and you’ve got a lovely view of Devil’s Peak from the lounge.
Our newly-renovated 100-year-old cottage offers charm, and comfort in a quirky Afro-chic style: with two full bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a spill-over room with a sofa bed downstairs, the cottage is ideal for two couples, small families or friends travelling together. Located in a small character-full street of listed heritage houses, Kelvin Cottage has been beautifully restored to its former glory as a cosy urban sanctuary: compact and perfectly formed, conveniently located in the heart of the city.
