We were absolutely stunned about this gem we found. The place is full of lovely little details, nothing's missing, the breakfast is awesome and the staff even more - always friendly and helpful. A place you can REALLY call a home away from home ❤️
Amazing stay. Fresh cooked to order breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. They went out of their way to make our stay amazing. We looked out over Kalk Bay. The town was welcoming with lots of food options easily walkable. We will be staying here again when we go back.
We had a great stay. The staff are wonderful. The view from our window was fantatic. We stayed 9 nights while visiting friends. Breakfast was also great. Lots of good restaurants around.
We highly recommend it.
Excellent location in Kalk Bay - just ambling down the beautiful steps to several restaurant locations. That is if you want to leave the stunning views of the guesthouse porch. The room and amenities were in excellent condition.
This place is divine! A beautiful old house, lovely decor, spacious, incredible views, great location, and really lovely staff! Freshly ground coffee delivered to your room at a time you choose each morning was a great touch. I fell in love with Kalk Bay - what a gem of a town. And I'd highly recommend staying at Chartfield to anyone looking to visit Kalk Bay.
Great location, easy walk to harbour front, bars and restaurants. We had the comfort suite, which was seperate to the main guest house. It was very, very spacious, with wonderful views from the master bedroom/lounge on the first floor. It was cold whilst we were there. There is a log burner on each floor which you can purchase firewood/lighters for at reception. This was a must for the cold days. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helped when needed. Security were visible but made us feel safe.
Es war wirklich toll. Wir sind von dort mit dem Mietauto in alle Richtungen ausgeschwärmt. Das Frühstück war top top. Der Gastgeber hat immer ein Tipp parat, was man noch anschauen soll. Er spricht auch deutsch, was für uns super war. Wir hatten wirklich noch nie so einen tollen Urlaub. Das Land ist unglaublich!!
Super service, super Frühstück, familiäre Atmosphäre. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen. Immer wieder gern!!!
We had a great stay. Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful location n setting. The breakfast was on gourmet level. The guesthouse is a gem

Liked: Cleanliness
Good view with less human touch.
Nice view. Excellent breakfast. Less nice with a small room without any window. Strange welcome by a young woman - more keen to get us out of the way than saying welcome and listen to our questions.
Possibly the perfect B&B. Simply but tastefully decorated, immaculately clean with crisp white linen, plus friendly & welcoming staff. Can’t imagine anything better.
Lovely staff and a very friendly welcome. Hotel has a lovely feel to it - amazing views and lots of lovely light.
Generally cleanliness was great, apart from our bath in the room hadn’t been cleaned from the last guest so that wasn’t nice.
There is a lovely pool area, but the covers on the sun loungers are looking quite sorry for themselves and need replacing really.
It was also rather unusual to have a double bed made up… but with two single quilts.
Even with these few elements not being up to scratch we still had a lovely stay and felt it was good for the price we paid.
Loved this place! I rented the loft room and there was a breeze, big windows and a fan, so I had no issues with it being too warm. I slept with the balcony door and windows open and it was lovely listening to the waves as I fell asleep.
Breakfast was delicious! Hot tip: If you book directly with them, it's included. Really enjoyed the complementary coffee brought to my room.
The location is fantastic. I walked to Dalebrook tidal pool and snorkeled there and later I walked to Kalky's in the harbour for delicious supper.
No doubt I'd return here, it was just fantastic. A big treat!
Great location overlooking Kalk Bay, the breakfasts were superb, the staff were friendly, warm and welcoming and had great restaurants tips for us. Would highly recommend this guesthouse!
Sehr freundliches Personal, immer hilfsbereit, im persönlichen Umgang sehr offen. Sehr gute Sicht von Terrasse und Lobby aufs Meer. Gepflegter Pool und Außenanlagen. Sehr empfehlenswert.
