    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Brookdale House during my first visit to Cape Town, and I must say that it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the serene Pinelands, Brookdale House offers a cozy and comfortable retreat for weary travelers. From the warm hospitality to the delectable food, this guesthouse truly made my stay memorable. Upon arrival, I encountered an unforeseen hiccup in my travel plans. Due to a booking mishap, I found myself stranded in the unfamiliar Pinelands late at night, with no place to stay. The locality was affected by load shedding, which added to my sense of unease. However, when I reached out to the number provided for Brookdale House, I was met with the utmost kindness and reassurance. Kevin, the host of Brookdale House, came to my rescue during those dark hours. Despite the late hour and the challenges posed by the power outage, Kevin went above and beyond to assist me. He swiftly arranged alternative accommodation for me and ensured my safety. His prompt response and genuine concern alleviated my worries and made me feel secure in an unfamiliar environment. Once settled into Brookdale House, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rooms were tastefully decorated and immaculately clean, providing a true sense of comfort. The attention to detail was evident throughout the property, creating a serene and relaxing ambiance. The food prepared by Kevin was nothing short of being exceptional. Every meal was a delight for the taste buds, with a perfect blend of flavors and an evident love for cooking. As an Indian traveler, I appreciated the care taken to cater to my dietary preferences. Kevin's scrumptious dishes were a true highlight of my stay. Throughout my time at Brookdale House, Kevin's hospitality and genuine care for his guests shone through. He was always available to offer recommendations, provide helpful information about the local area, and ensure that I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. His warm demeanor and personal touch made me feel like I was staying with a dear friend rather than at a guesthouse. In conclusion, my stay at Brookdale House was a truly heartwarming experience. From the initial hiccup to the exceptional hospitality and comfort provided, Kevin went above and beyond to ensure my well-being. I highly recommend Brookdale House to anyone visiting Cape Town, especially those seeking a cozy retreat with a host who genuinely cares about their guests. I am grateful for Kevin's kindness and the exceptional experience he provided, and I look forward to returning to Brookdale House in the future.

    I had the pleasure of staying at Brookdale House for a week in late November 2023 during the end of a month-long travel adventure in Africa. I can say without any hesitation that Brookdale House provided the best accommodations and experience during my time in Africa. Kevin and Herman were personable and attentive without being overbearing. The food was amazing (surprise- Kevin was a chef in a former life!) and breakfast every day was an exercise in self-control for me. I enjoyed my time there so much that I opted to spend several days relaxing at the house, and dined in for dinners (equally delicious) on multiple nights as well. Brookdale House is truly a full-service bed and breakfast and they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. One afternoon, Herman took me on a private winery tour (customized with several labyrinth walks, which are a passion of mine) and that afternoon was one of the highlights of my time there. They somehow miraculously managed to get me reservations at the Gold Restaurant (on a FRIDAY NIGHT!), which is known for its African 14-course menu, live drumming and Mali puppets and is often booked up days/weeks in advance. And, when I wanted to refresh myself before my flight back to the US, Herman even arranged a salon appointment for me, then personally drove me there. Those are just a few examples of the high caliber of service that I experienced at Brookdale House- a place and people of exceptional service, kind hearts and generous spirits. But what truly makes Brookdale House so special is Kevin & Herman. They blend professionalism and hospitality with heart and compassion. If you are seeking the comforts of home while traveling, Brookdale House will not disappoint.
