Upfront, I’d like to say that this is a lovely guest house and we had a great stay of over two weeks around Christmas - New Year (Dec 24-Jan 25)! Greet and Geert are wonderful, friendly hosts, and they go out of their way to welcome and assist their guests.
Somer House Guest Suites has only recently opened its doors following extensive renovations. If I recall correctly, there are five rooms, each slightly different. My wife and I stayed in a room 3, which was spacious, well appointed and with direct access to the garden via a patio. My sons stayed in room 4. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms have air conditioners, bar fridges, a ceiling fan, a Nespresso (or similar) coffee pod machine and a safe, in addition to the usual kit such as a hairdryer and a kettle.
The breakfasts (available on request) are magnificent - both very generous in terms of what is offered, and delightfully varied. Only after two weeks of something different every morning (such as French toast, omelettes, eggs Benedict, meat loaf, and waffles) did Greet say that she had now been through all their variations and offered us a choice for our final day. (We chose the omelettes, but it was a tough call as it was all delicious!)
The property has a very large garden - I seem to recall the (double) plot is around 5000 sq. meters - and a sizeable swimming pool.
The property is very conveniently located just south of Main Road in Somerset West, with very easy access to the N2 (the Cape Town-Somerset West freeway) and the R44 (which leads to Stellenbosch and the Cape Winelands). Within Somerset West, the Helderberg Nature Reserve and the Lourensford wine estate are only a few minutes away, as is the Waterstone Mall with its excellent (food-only) Woolworths and the much larger Somerset Mall. Cape Town airport is less than 1/2 hour away in off-peak traffic. For golf players, the property adjoins the Somerset West Golf Club.
Very highly recommended if you are looking for a B&B/guest house in the Somerset
West area!
