This boutique guest house can be peacefully found inside an old Cape Dutch homestead that has been meticulously refurbished and decorated in a refined modern African style. Despite such a tranquil situation, the residence enjoys a privileged position at the foot of Table Mountain in a convenient location within easy distance of the city’s main sights, cultural attractions and nature reserves. The property is also a short journey from the airport, but there is a shuttle service on offer. The quiet grounds contain a relaxing day bed nestled in the garden, as well as a plunge pool and sun deck with breathtaking views of Lions Head. Housing traditional yet contemporary accommodation with typical touches, modern amenities and a warm atmosphere, the guest house features free wireless internet access available throughout the entire building.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.

Jardin d'Ebene Boutique Guesthouse is a very special place - most guests realise that immediately when they come in and see the garden and pool area, very unique in the Central Cape Town area! Since we are a small place with only 5 rooms, it is very familiar and our guests love to stay in our Guesthouse, relaxing in the Garden or near the pool... We are also not affected by loadshedding, we have set up an inverter/battery system, that means our power stays always on. Come in and find out ;-)
We, the owners Alexandra and Roland, love to meet people from all over the world and help our guests to make the best out of their stay. We, as well as our great staff - Noah, Christopher and Portia - are happy to make bookings for sightseeing, Restaurants, Theatres, Sports Events or anything else you want to do. There are so many things you can do and explore in and around Cape Town - Table Mountain, Cape Peninsula with Cape of Good Hope, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, The Winelands, West Coast National Park, Robben Island and of course the City itself - we have no favourite, we just love it all!
We are located in Tamboerskloof, one of the most sought after areas in Cape Town, very safe and perfectly located to explore the city by foot. You can easily walk to Boo Kaap, Green Market Square, Company Gardens, all major museums and so on. We have some very good restaurants within walking distance (10 - 15 minutes) in Kloof Street - some of our favourites are Manna Epicure, The Black Sheep, Café Paradiso just to name a few of them - there are plenty more Restaurants and you will find something for every taste!
