Location and Transport

Located in Green Point, The Greenhouse Guesthouse is 400 metres from Cape Quarter Lifestyle Center. Cape Town Stadium is 1.2 km away; V&A Waterfront is 2 km. Cape Town International Convention Centre is 1.5 km. The nearest airport, Cape Town International, is 18 km away. On-site parking is available (limited). The property is on a busy road but rooms are quiet. Guests often walk to restaurants and shops, but Uber is recommended after dark.

Services and Staff

Services include a 24-hour front desk (hours: 08:15-23:00), concierge service, daily housekeeping, and luggage assistance. A complimentary manager's reception is offered. Staff-particularly Judith, Harry, and Barbara-are noted for being helpful and friendly. They assist with luggage, arrange tours, and provide local recommendations. The property has strong security: fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, key access, and a security alarm. A night porter is available outside reception hours.

“The Greenhouse Guesthouse strikes a fine balance, with staff like Judith and Gordon consistently noted for their genuine helpfulness, whether it's with luggage or local guidance. Its proximity to the Waterfront is a significant advantage, offering a comfortable and secure base for exploring the area, even with thoughtful touches like in-room safes and well-appointed kitchens in some units. I found the property to be a solid value, with a quiet atmosphere despite its central Greenpoint location.”
