Welgelegen
Style Victoriana with an African twist
Setting Kloof Street central
'Well-positioned' by name and by nature, Welgelegen – a boutique B&B – offers rooms that lean towards basic, but having such homeliness a minute’s walk from all the bars and restaurants on trendy Kloof Street is a real treat.

Our favourite rooms
Most superiors have balcony/terrace/mountain view. 1 is romantic, with fireplace and large oval bath. 5 is cosy, overlooking the plunge pool and Table Mountain. 6 has a mountain view from the bed. 8 is large and sunny with a large balcony and wrought-iron bed. The passages in Welgelegen aren’t carpeted and the exposed wooden flooring of the old house magnifies the noise. If you’re a light sleeper, an upstairs room is your best bet.
Packing tips
A pashmina or light sweater for when the wind gets up. Shoes that combine chic and comfort – you’ll want to walk to bars and restaurants by night.
From the Guestbook…
Tino's Portuguese restaurant, five minutes away on Kloof Street in a Victorian house was lovely – great atmosphere, full of locals, and great food too.
