Revive the "Old Lady" - 10 April 2019

More than 3 weeks after the blaze, and after all the frustrating insurance paper work, the long process of rejuvenating the “Old Lady” can finally commence.

Revive the "Old Lady"

Ten days after the disaster, not much has been achieved operationally. We’re in the middle of the admin process. But as much as it can be rather frustrating, it’s the first unavoidable step towards the long process that lies ahead of us.

Following what was suggested by some of our guests and friends, we’ve opened an online funding box. Up to you to contribute by clicking on "I contribute" at the bottom on this page. Please share.

Thanks to all for your valued support!

In the early hours of last Sunday, an accidental fire ravaged our magnificent guest house. Fortunately, no one was hurt!

Guest Reviews

Our family (5) visiting from the US stayed at the Carmichael Guesthouse while in Cape Town. Hotel staff were very professional, helpful and organized from our initial booking and throughout our stay. Hotel organized a driver to collect us from the airport. Room was very nice and comfortable, very good breakfast, hotel was quiet and in good location. Recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you again for a great stay. As usual professional and friendly service by the team! You will see me again. The victorian style guesthouse is beautiful. Rooms classy and comfortable. Breakfast is perfect. Host and hostess (owners) became friends.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Carmichael Guesthouse; the room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfasts in the sunny conservatory excellent. This is close enough to the center of the city to be convenient, away from the noise and bustle. We were able to walk to an excellent restaurant and the guesthouse is near to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden.
