Did some lectures at UCT for a week, and stayed at the Carmichael. Excellent in every way – good rooms, good breakfast, helpful and amiable host, reasonable price, good location. Would stay again, and would mention it to others as well.

I stayed at Carmichael guesthouse for 3 nights during a business trip. The accommodation was superb and breakfasts absolutely delicious. They also went out of their way to accommodate my unforeseen late check-in. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse.
