A wonderful oasis within the centre of Cape Town
Breakfast was excellent and Maxime was a fantastic host, he made our stay enjoyable and easy going. The room was large and airy, with everything we needed.

It was perfect , we enjoyed every moment .
we loved the warm welcome , quiet courtyard full of pomegranate trees and cosy nooks to sit and enjoy the dappled shade before venturing out in to the city again . The kids were welcomed with open arms and loved playing in the secret space. The beds were beautifully made with lovely linen.
nothing , everything was charming

An oasis in the middle of Capetown. Beautifully decorated retro French farm house style. Lot of charm with beautiful gardens with fruit trees and herbs, where you have breakfast or just relax. The owner/host made us feel at home. No tv's in room, but there is one in the living room.

A charming property, tastefully and creatively decorated with great breakfast and afternoon tea.
An utterly charming experience in a beautifully created space. Lovely hospitality- thank you Natasha, Rhudo and Ulama - and great breakfasts and afternoon teas. It all felt a little like a set from a romantic movie. Excellent location and dark and peaceful at night despite being in the middle of everything.

Out and about Cape Town
Beautifully laid out and very welcoming with excellent support by staff.
Parking is cramped and neighbouring property had loose shutters banging in the wind early in the morning. But nothing that cannot be fixed.

Lovely quirky B and B with big bathroom and pretty garden
Breakfast was great - good choice and also ability to help yourself
Our room was close to reception room and loud voiced guests arriving at midnight woke us up. Maybe should have been asked to dial it down?

super stylish, with beautifully curated rooms, delicious coffee and the nicest hosts :)
We absolutely loved the quaint garden setting of the La Grenadine. It was a little green oasis tucked away in the city. Our room was beautifully decorated and I loved the attention to detail - from the hand illustrated welcome book to the beautifully branded soaps and shampoos in the bathroom.
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. we absolutely loved our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at La Grenadine. Maxime is a great host, he made us feel right at home! The interior design is very tasteful, there's also a lovely garden. Sumptuous and delicious breakfeast (no nonsense here). Will most definitely come back. Merci beaucoup!

Shabby chic haven with lovely garden
A quirky little haven amid the bustle of Cape Town. Loads of character. The breakfasts are the best!
Shabby chic... it's quirky and fun, but the dripping wash basin in one of the bedrooms is not quite what you'd expect for the price.

Very good
La grenadine was an oasis of peace and tranquility in the business of kloof street. Loved the interior the rooms.
We wanted to go to bed on friday quite early and there was a lot of music from the neighbouring cafe. But fortunately it didnt last all night

Lovely secret garden quaint hotel in the middle of Cape Town
Very quaint hotel in the middle of Cape Town. As soon as you enter the property through the lovely garden, there's a quiet and calm atmosphere, as if you were in the country side. Super lovely owners/staff and great breakfast to start your morning right in between the pomegranate trees.
Our room was lovely decorated and divided, the fan was just not working that well (not that much strength due to the high ceiling) so the nights were very hot, with sweaty mornings to wake up to.

Next time in Capetown we will come back here. That says enough!
The host was super friendly and welcoming. He gave us tips. Was always up for a chat. Prepared the most delicious breakfast. The room was excellent. The bath was great after a tough hike. Bed was super comfortable. All clean, neat, well designed. Great eye for detail!!

garden delight
The host was so cool, warm and friendly. The rooms quiet, pretty, beautifully decorated and contemporary, hidden in a vibrant part of the city.
The parking situation if I must say - but because of other quests or neighbors taking up the spaces. Other than this I felt safe and welcome.

Maxime is the perfect host. His hotel felt like home, such a good feeling after a 12 hour flight. He combines an amazing attention to detail with a very relaxed vibe. Very friendly and caring too.
