Compass House Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

We have just spent a couple of nights at Compass House and cannot recommend it enough. A stunning pool, fantastic views and an incredibly comfortable room all make for a great stay but it is the service that absolutely stands out. Gerard, Johan and the rest of the team make this place feel like home. The warmest of welcomes, an incredible breakfast and lots of small touches that show how much they have thought of everything. Nothing is too much trouble but nor are the team intrusive. With only a handful of bedrooms, the place feels calm and peaceful. It is definitely boutique and may not be for people who like to be anonymous or who love places like the Four Seasons with multiple F&B offerings however if you need somewhere to relax with the most warm and generous staff Compass House cannot be recommend enough. Thank you for the most wonderful stay!

We have just experienced a 6 night stay at this boutique hotel in Bantry Bay. What a find it was! We have stayed in many of the medium to large 5 star hotels in & around Cape Town & this is by far the best! It has a beautiful setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a large pool area more spacious than you might expect for a small boutique hotel. The Managers Gerard & Johan provide exceptional, personal service where nothing is too much trouble & staff like Petty make you feel like you are the only guests in the hotel. Beautiful breakfast on the balcony with lots to choose from (try their special take on baked beans!). We had a lovely spacious room, again with a wonderful balcony with sea view. The hotel is well located to explore Cape Town & Camps Bay with a short taxi ride to both. If you are looking for a personal luxuruous experience & debating to go to a large 5 star hotel or something smaller & more boutique, book Compass House - its guaranteed not to disappoint!

We started our honeymoon trip at this gem! Compass house is truly beautiful, tranquil and peaceful and in the perfect location to access all the things we wanted to do/see in Cape Town. Johan, Cleo, Gerard and Felix were kind and hospitable and offered invaluable advice during our stay, helping us plan our day trips successfully. We enjoyed a great breakfast each morning and the views from our room and the property in general are fabulous. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to visit again in the future!

From the moment we checked in we realised this was going to be a special stay and it certainly was. Johan & his team were exceptional- nothing was too much and every little detail was thought of. We have traveled the world and very rarely come across such wonderful and personalised service. Breakfasts are cooked to perfection. The view from everywhere in the hotel is amazing of the water. We sat on our balcony one morning watching dolphins jump past. Rooms, while small, have everything you need. If you are a wine lover you will love the honesty bar they have. Pre dinner drinks and canapés provided each night will be missed. It is a perfect location with Ubers only ever taking a minute or 2 to order. Thank you again- we will miss you all.

What an amazing place! Fabulous location and staff. A warm welcome is provided which was very welcome after our long travel. The rooms are lovely and the hotel has a lovely view, over their infinity pool out to sea. Due to the cool weather we were not wanting to use the pool, but it looked beautiful and welcoming with comfortable seating around. The room was comfortable with a lovely bed that I didn’t want to get out of. Lovely bath and rain shower. Double sinks stopped any fights for sink and mirror space in the morning. Our room was cold, but as soon as it was mentioned to the staff the heating / cooling system was adjusted and warmth returned. The staff are brilliant. The location is very good with easy access to great restaurants, Uber rides or hop on hop off sightseeing bus near. Breakfast was lovely and the honesty bar well stocked. Secure parking is available on site. I would like to have stayed longer and if I weee to return to South Africa I would not hesitate to stay here.

Thank you to Johan ,Gerard , Clio and Team for making our holiday and my partner’s 50th birthday so special . The hotel , service and food was outstanding ! We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to visit Cape Town , Great location and short walk to the sea front
