157 guests' feedbackCharles is an amazing host and I enjoyed my stay at 5 on Penny. The area is secure and tranquil with an amazing garden view.
Very good value for money. Comfortable, clean and tidy. Will definitely stay there again.
Wonderful hosts and the room was in excellent condition. Everything you need in one room and so close to lovely places around Cape Town. Would definitely visit again and recommend!
Very pleasant. Top notch.
If you are looking for tranquility, 5 on Penny is just the right place for you. There are so many amenities, ideal for a weekend getaway, and a very peaceful environment.
It was peaceful, exquisite and very classy.
It had everything we needed as well as friendly reception and help when needed. The heating and electric blankets were perfect for the winter, breakfast was hot and delicious and the surroundings peaceful and beautiful.
Nice kitchen unit with basic necessities needed. Nice hot shower. Unlimited WiFi.
Very nice stay, will definitely recommend them.
Great stay. Safe and clean. Quiet environment. The owner was very helpful. Thank you.
I enjoyed my stay. It was very clean and tidy. I received a super friendly welcome upon arrival. Host can be contacted easily any time. Great area. Value for money. Highly recommend.
See stars.
Accommodation - thoroughly enjoyed. Service - great. Communication - continuously convenient. Location - perfect. Hospitality - first class.
The stay was fantastic.
Thank you very much for the hospitality. We enjoyed it very much.
Our employees said it was comfortable, quiet and a beautiful setting.
Was very happy with the stay.
See stars.
It was very peaceful and the hosts were very welcoming. The garden is beautiful and will definitely be back in the summer.
5 on Penny was the ideal place for us to stay.
Comfortable and homely vibe.
We had a wonderful stay. Charles is very friendly and considerate. Thank you very much.
Neat, clean, safe. Peaceful surroundings and garden for a nice morning coffee. Thanks for the trouble with the late welcome. Everyone had a great time.
Beautiful guesthouse, safe and secure.
I had a great stay, the place is very comfortable and tidy.
We stayed for 4 nights in the Xino room, had a very peaceful stay, and our host was very accommodating.
Renovations were in progress with drilling and electric saws making noise, and workers conversing next to my room for several hours. If I was informed that renovations were in progress, I would not have made the booking.
The cushions need to be replaced. It's old, yellow and really not suitable for a guest house. Extra blanket can also be put in the room and the decor also needs attention. Bathroom mats needed to be washed. Blinds in the bathroom are dirty. Place is not soundproof.
Everything nice except the cushions. They were flat and hard, and when you take off the pillowslip, the cushions are dirty and unhygienic.
There is no privacy. The landlord is always watching you and always checking what you are doing outside. It's like they are worried you will break something. They always make noise at night. There is no peace of mind. They clean the room once a week.
Everything was up to standard and the host keeps you informed and in touch all the time.
I love this guesthouse, it's perfect. Will definitely always come back here.
Love the pool and braai area. I prefer wood braai over gas braai, but there was no wood available. For future reference, please make wood available.
We enjoyed our stay at 5 on Penny, great value for money!
Well received on arrival. Safe stay. We enjoyed our time with them. The accommodation met our needs. Would recommend it.
Had a great stay and was able to relax after a stressful day at the hospital. Would highly recommend the place.
I was in the Cape for business and I had all the facilities I needed.
Hosts are friendly and professional.
Comfortable stay. Great location.
Beautiful and safe area and lovely house and gardens. The two rooms were spotless when we arrived, but it was the small extra touches that impressed the most: hairdryers, rusks with morning coffee, a little flower on the pillows, and a bunch of lavender on the dressing table. Loadshedding was at inconvenient times during our stay, so we were provided with a gas stove, kettle and matches. Much appreciated by those in the group who can't function in the morning without coffee. We really enjoyed the stay, and will definitely go there again when in Durbanville.
Our room was very well equipped. Everything was in its place, very clean and tidy. The site was well secured and we felt very safe. We got a free breakfast on Saturday. The lapa and pool are very nice and they are there for guests to use. Thank you very much Charles and your wife for your hospitality.
The owner is one of the most accommodating people I have ever met. He took the boys under his wing and looked after them so well. A wonderful person and an excellent host. Thanks Charles! We'll see you again soon.
5 on Penny pleasantly surprised us. The facilities are neat and adequate. A plus point is the nice big outdoor kitchen/hangout area next to the pool. The environment is quiet and peaceful yet close enough to shopping centers. The rates are very fair and affordable. We will use 5 on Penny again!
Nicely situated away from traffic. Security was good. Pretty garden and peaceful surroundings.
Very nice stay. Neat place and braai facilities make it nice to do self-catering as well.
The place is neat, clean and tidy.
As mentioned before, it met our requirements. The garden table and chairs were a nice touch, along with a gas braai unit. The environment felt safe.
We were slightly disappointed that the room was not equipped with a kitchen sink, but the staff quickly came to our aid. Our car also had to be parked outside in the road, but otherwise we had a very nice stay here.
Neat, clean unit perfectly located to get to everything quickly. Friendly owner, very helpful.
I travel a lot and stay at many B&B establishments. This place is nothing less than 5 star. Highly recommended without any reservation.
Conveniently close to the hospital. Very comfortable! Very friendly hosts.
We stayed a few days. It's a very peaceful environment, the rooms are comfortable and the outdoor area is very nice. Charles goes out of his way to make sure everything is right and that we are comfortable. We got there during load shedding, but Charles is prepared and the rooms also have emergency lights. The site is very safe and it didn't feel like we were in the city at all. Note that the vehicle is parked outside in the driveway - however, the area is lit and I was in no way concerned about the vehicle. It's a quiet cul-de-sac with almost no traffic. If possible, book the breakfast - delicious! Would definitely recommend them and stay there again in the future.
We were down for medical reasons.
Very neat place! Host very helpful! Two units ideal for family with adult children!
Charles het ons van die eerste oomblik laat welkom voel en uit sy pad uit gegaan om ons verblyf gemaklik te maak. Pragtige plek, sal verseker aanbeveel vir besoekers!
Everything was neat and clean. Charles was very helpful and friendly.
The room and bathroom are beautiful and tidy, the environment is peaceful and feels safe. Charles was accommodating and provided everything we asked for. The breakfasts were very tasty, definitely value for money, and something different every time. Thank you for your hospitality!
Spent a pleasant two evenings and it was peaceful and lovely. Perfect for our purpose. Will recommend it to others.
The place was very nice and the owner as well very friendly and it was a peaceful environment. I would go back anytime I really enjoyed the stay and had time to rest an reflect.
The owner is very kind and went out of his way to assist me.
Host made extra effort to make us feel welcome. Additional accommodation arrangements excellent. Also informed regarding the load shedding schedule and provided for emergency lights and continuous internet connection. Outstanding!
It's a great place. Host and wife very pleasant. Nice and private and a lovely lapa to relax under. Was also very convenient for me to move to the places I wanted to be.
We had a great time. Just what we needed, peace and quiet just to get away from our home for a bit. It was delicious. We will definitely visit again.
It was everything we hoped it would be. Will definitely have to go again.
The pool and the air conditioner were a relief in the heat. Charles was very nice and we will definitely stay there again!
I was treated like a king.
It would have been nice if the unit was a little bigger.
It was almost as if you were at your own home, you could come and go as you pleased, swimming pool as a clean barbecue area.
Would definitely recommend, the room is a bit small (but not the end of the world because it was only for a few nights). It was nice that there was coffee, sugar and milk. Very nice and modern room and appreciated the fact that there was a light and that the WiFi worked during loadshedding.
Perfect place for overnight stay. Place is neat and clean. I would definitely recommend it. Breakfast was of good quality and value for money.
Thank you so much Charles for checking me in so late on Sunday night!
Very reasonably priced and neat and clean.
I had a great time staying at 5 on Penny and I highly appreciate it and would stay there again. Thank you for your freedom of grass.
Charles was very friendly and approachable. He made our stay very pleasant, even offered a complimentary dinner which we truly enjoyed.
Accommodation was everything we hoped/expected.
Charles made us feel right at home and the stay was excellent. Everything you need and more.
Thank you very much for a lovely stay with everything we needed. The host was very helpful in recommending places to eat. Very neat and sparkling clean accommodation. We will definitely stay there again.
Very neat and all laundry was available.
Value for money, suitable for couples wanting to stay over for a few nights.
Very good value for money.
A wonderful stay for the weekend with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Vey helpful and friendly host. Will definitely be returning even if it is just for an overnight stay. Also very affordable.
Offers value for money and the owner goes out of his way to help guests.
Little gem in the heart of Durbanville.
The area is nice and safe and quite.
The stay was excellent. Charles was friendly and helpful. Everything needed is available. Will book there again.
Neat and accommodating.
Would not mind for more visits.
When booking a second time at the same place, despite having more choices, the first experience had to impress you. This is exactly what I experienced and will discuss there again.
The best accommodation we have had so far in the Cape. The room is clean, tidy, and has everything you need and more. Charles is so hospitable, it feels like you've known him for years. The swimming pool and braai area is our favorite and makes you look forward to returning to the B&B at the end of the day. Our search for the perfect spot in the Cape is over.
I would not hesitate to recommend 5 on Penny to people looking for accommodation in the Durbanville area.
Enjoyed our stay, great hosts.
We wanted a room that has kitchen inside but it was good to experience other options.
On arrival at the guest house, the host met us and explained everything we needed to know. He was a perfect gentleman. He inquired both morning and evening whether everything was still to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend this guesthouse. Garden and braai amenities beautiful and tranquil.
We had a great stay at 5 On Penny, we had a delicious breakfast and Charles was extremely friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended
Thank you for your help, we really appreciate everyone involved.
Place is neat and clean. Chris is very pleasant and friendly. Great great service. Thank you.
The owners are very friendly and the place is very beautiful. Would highly recommend it. Will definitely go back again.
The atmosphere is so amazing and the owner Charles just made us feel so welcome and at home. Thank you Charles, the experience was amazing.
Had an absolutely wonderful experience. We were there last weekend and I'm totally wishing I could go back to last weekend. Thank you LekkeSlaap, thank you 5-On-Penny-Self-Catering and last but not least thank you to our host.
Charles was very kind, friendly and helpful on our arrival at 5 on Penny Self-catering. I recommend this place to everyone that feels they need a break away and place to enjoy yourself in a very quiet and manner area.
Slept wonderfully. Air conditioning was great in the hot weather.
Charles, the owner received us kindly for the 4 days we had the privilege of staying in his guest house. Room was neat and clean. Safe environment. Had a nice stay and really enjoyed Durbanville. The Farm Festival and the show at "Die Boer" were, as always, the highlight!
Safer parking will be valuable. Air conditioner outside makes a bit of noise. On-site credit card facilities will be of value.
We recommend 5 on Penny. It is located in a safe neighbourhood, with comfortable accommodation, just what we needed.
The room with bathroom is beautifully clean. All equipment testifies to quality.
It really is a very nice place to visit. Area is very peaceful. The owner checks in regularly and is so hospitable. It looks so neat. 5-star treatment. Will definitely stay there again.
A very good location, easily accessed and Charles is a really good host, nothing is too much trouble without being intrusive. Highly recommend the accommodation for anyone wanting a safe, quiet place for their base while in Durbanville.
What a pleasant surprise to be received so hospitable and friendly late in the evening. Our flight was late and we didn't arrive at 5 on Penny until late at night. We were taken to a beautiful clean and tidy room that had everything we needed, even a microwave oven and a small fridge. When we asked where we could get something to eat so late in the evening, we were promptly served with the best information. After a day out we found a serviced room on our return in the evening. We will definitely stay here again!
The braai place with the swimming pool will surely provide a nice visit. For the next visit and in the right weather we will definitely use the pool.
It was perfect for me. We could have a great barbecue in the lapa. The owner came regularly to ask if we were satisfied and made an effort to send a message ahead of time. I will always recommend it.
We had a very nice stay. Everything is clean and tidy I would definitely recommend it.
Highly recommend. Restful.
Very safe, pleasant and peaceful environment. As soon as you step in, the host makes you feel right at home and you can't help but feel free to use the facilities at the braai and swimming pool area. The room was impeccably clean, tidy and very comfortable.
Looking forward to coming in summer. I need some swimming and a lekker braai. You not only run a guest house, your personality is compatible with what you do. Great man.
We had a very nice stay for the 5 days. Very friendly and helpful host. The place is ideal and recommend to anyone who wants a clean and peaceful stay away from home. We will always stay there.
I really enjoyed the stay at 5 on Penny! It is the most beautiful place and the room and bathroom are spacious and very comfortable and very clean and tidy! Also very friendly and great service! Big thanks!
Thank you very much for a pleasant time! Charles was very pleasant and treated us really very friendly and helpful! We were accommodated and received even though we checked in very late! We would stay there again anytime!
The host was very attentive and made sure that we were comfortable and happy. Our accommodation clean and comfortable. We can highly recommend 5 on Penny!
The place is very quiet and safe. There is also plenty to do in the Durbanville area for those who love going out. The cleanliness and hospitable service of the place is exceptional.
This guesthouse was absolutely amazing. It had everything and more that you need. The hosts are friendly and approachable and extremely hospitable. Thank you for an amazing experience, Charles.
Charles was on the ball with the booking, etc.
We had a warm welcome from the hosts when we got there, we had total privacy and they assisted us in everything we asked. We loved it and will go there again.
Charles and Rene are very hospitable and we stayed with them. Nothing was bothering them and their braai area was lovely. The guest house has everything at your disposal and what is not there provides them immediately (eg ice and extra wine glasses). We can recommend this guest house with a restful heart to any future holidaymakers. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there.
Charles received us very kindly and was very helpful in making sure our visit went smoothly. The facilities are very neat and clean - the swimming pool and use of the lapa were fantastic and we were able to visit there with our family. We will definitely stay there again on a next visit to the Cape Town area.
We were contacted from the beginning by the accommodation owner to let us know about the location as well as the arrangements with the keys and reception of the accommodation. Even met and helped us when we experienced a crisis at our home. Hospitable and friendly. The breakfast was excellent and would recommend it to anyone staying here. Thank you very much for a wonderful service.
It was very pleasant for my spouse and I. A lovely feeling of being at home and we will definitely stay at this place again.
Everything was very clean and neat. We just had to buy our own towel, because one towel for a week is a little too long. Hospitable people and facilities for braai very nice.
The people are very hospitable and accommodating.
An on-the-ball guest house.
Friendly reception, hospitable, returned every day to clean accommodation, fresh milk and biscuits every day. Lovely braai area and swimming pool. Will definitely stay there again.
The rooms are nice but clean and tidy.
Very neat and clean, highly recommended.
Content. Well. Will recommend.
Everything is 100% except the pressure of the water from the shower. You have to stand for half an hour to wash off the soap.
Sien sterre.
Since we arrived, while we stayed until we left, Charles was extremely hospitable. Clean neat and no complaints. Certainly we will use this accommodation again. Great and just want to say: keep on going.
Many thanks to Charles for the accommodation. Very safe, everything you need. I would definitely be able to recommend the place.
Charles simply made us part of the family and invited us to watch rugby together. We had a wonderful stay and visited and rested and will definitely stop by there again if we have to sleep over in the Cape.
The area where 5 on Penny is located was very peaceful, and the host was very friendly. Everything was excellent.
Of top quality! Hospitality, friendliness, the apartment gets five stars. Thank you very much for staying here. We will recommend it to many people and will without a doubt stay there again.
Stunning place to stay, with Charles that went out of his way to accommodate 5 groomsmen to be able to get dressed with the groom. By allowing the young lads to make themselves at home, at no extra cost, added a special touch to a wedding day. Thank you so much, memories will always remain with 5 on Penny.
I had the pleasure of staying at the guesthouse for a business trip. Coming home every night felt like a home away from home. Neat and tidy, private and peaceful. The breakfast included is definitely a must; omelette, egg benedict, fruit salad - top class. I will definitely be visiting again soon, thank you for a lovely stay!
Die kliëntediens is besonders. Ek sal 5 on Penny aan enige iemand aanbeveel. Wonderlike gasvryheid.
Very nice room. Friendly people, always willing to help where they can.
I would like to say thank you to 5 on Penny for an amazing stay and that we'll be back real soon.
We will definitely use them again if we go to the Cape again. Was kindly received, everything was explained to us nicely. Room always tidy and so much love
Very good accommodation for the amount. Everything was neat and clean and Charles was very helpful.
Tidy. Air conditioning. Ideal.
Unfortunately the photo's does not do justice to the beautiful garden you walk out onto in the morning after a good nights rest. The room is truly clean and is serviced daily and coffee, tea, rusks, butter, microwave, fridge and so much more is available. The best was to drink coffee next to the swimming pool under the well planned pergola. Sheltered, protected, private, with fresh filtered water, an ashtray for someone wishing to smoke, wood, tripod pots, pans, built-in braai, soft music, radio, etc. combination. In the evenings when you arrive, a cold drink under the downlighter lights in an relaxing and soft atmosphere to discuss the day. The management is in the background and will come when you need information. The price is truly reasonable, and will go to no other guesthouse in Vierlanden, Durbanville.
Had a great stay! On arrival we were greeted warmly and felt welcome. Will definitely go back there, perfect for quick alone getaways!
5 on Penny can be recommended! The host was friendly and hospitable. Responded quickly upon extra requests. The room felt homely with everything one would need. Very comfortable and safe.
The accommodation was perfect, nice with everything you need and friendly service. Good price. Breakfast outstanding.
Friendly welcome, room serviced every day and peaceful atmosphere. Safe stay. Suitable for patient's significant other or holiday.
We received a very friendly welcome and got excellent value for money in exchange for it. Thank you Charles and Rene.
Host extremely friendly.
