How They Dazzle Us

In keeping with the brand and style built by Rovos Rail, this guest house, one of three along the False Bay coast, has an aura of grandeur and old-world charm that reflects an opulent, bygone era. Quite simply, a stay at this venue is like travelling back in time to a time when attention to detail was paramount and nothing was too much to please a guest.

Why We Love Them

The Rovos Guesthouses are fantastic because they show that the team behind the award winning rail experience are not just train-nuts, they are actually, first and foremost, hospitality experts. The perfect way to start or end your rail trip, these guesthouses are located along the shores of Cape Town’s warmer Indian Ocean seaboard. Whales can frequently be seen frolicking in the waves and the food and the mood along the promenade is part of the real Cape Town experience.

Their Sustainable Superpower

The Rovos team have done a lot to up-skill the people from the local communities, who work at all levels of the operation, be it the guesthouses or the train operation. Furthermore, much like the train operation the Rovos philosophy that shines through is about preservation of the old, maintaining and restoring it and then adapting in whatever ways possible to ensure that they are as environmentally friendly and up-to-date as possible.
