98 guests' feedbackVery nice stay, thank you. Something they can look out for is possibly a mirror near the power point as there is nowhere to dry your hair.
Enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks for the hospitality, we will check in again soon. The right place for a getaway holiday.
Taby House managed to exceed our expectations in every aspect, offering a beautiful and spacious setting paired with exceptional hospitality from the owners. Its proximity to the beach, its convenient location near a variety of shops and excellent restaurants, and its accessibility to local attractions make it an ideal choice for those seeking a well-rounded vacation. I highly recommend Taby House.
Would definitely recommend to everyone!
It was excellent! The place was clean and well stocked with the self-catering essentials.
The break was much needed. Delicious and peaceful.
There was no coffee in the room. Would like to see that catered for. Wasn't sure which part of the house/kitchen could be used and which part.
The is a beautiful house and conveniently close to tourist destination.
Fully equipped self-catering unit. Neat and spacious room. Friendly service. Will recommend for sure.
We really enjoyed our stay. Nice touches with complimentary lotion sachets. Close to the beach and restaurants. We loved the afternoon sun and the set up of the place.
I would recommend Tabu House to one and all. You are warmly welcomed when you arrive and then you feel at home, it's a beautiful house and cleanliness has no limits, the delicious smell of the kitchen lies at the tip of your nose after a long day outside, the evenings are quiet and I just thought I would be able to stay here. They also upgraded us without asking because our visiting period without any extra costs. Thank you very much Tabu House for a wonderful visit with you, we will definitely come again.
Very nice, nice place would go again anytime.
Because the self-catering unit was not booked, we were upgraded to it. Much Appreciated.
Very friendly hostess! Everything was perfect. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.
My stay at Tabu was absolutely peaceful. I would come again, the host is very friendly.
Well this was one of our best top guesthouse stays that was booked. Will definitely go back. Very friendly people and the area is quiet and peaceful.
During the weekend we were in Franschhoek, the Paarl, Hout Bay, Durbanville, Welgemoed, Waterfront, Tuine, Oranjezicht, Constantia, Woodstock, Llandudno and Malmesbury. Tabu is right in the middle of it all. The Studio 2 apartment is nice and spacious with a large bathroom (bath and shower) and a comfortable kitchen. The bed is king size. Definitely recommend!
Was a friendly welcome, the room is very clean and tidy. After you have been welcomed, no unnecessary contact is made.
The location is great. Small problems were quickly resolved. Would stay there again anytime. Slept very well. The place is clean and tidy.
Nice to get away from it all including television. High backyard wall for extra privacy. Besides little attention to 2 lights, I do plan to make it a yearly visit during Women's Month in SA. Super-fast WiFi.
The gas bottle is next to the stove and a powerpoint - dangerous. Only 2 large plates, one small plate, 2 forks, knives and teaspoons. The foor was open and not properly finished next to the fridge -dangerous. The curtains werw not consistent colours and a mix and they were very poor quality. The shower was disgusting. One has to move around to get wet and there is no caddy for bathroom items and one has to bend to the floor every time. The kitchen cupboard doors were not aligned and do not close properly. The bed was very soft on one side and one could hear the springs creaking. The light in the bedroom section of this open plan one room apartment does not work. Light fittings globes did not work on two fittings. The towels were old extremely worn rags that would not dry anything and more closely resembles worn out nappies. They were also very small. The kitchen cloth was filthy. The toilet roll holder collapsed on using it. Single-ply toilet rolls. Ugh. 3 different types of cornice in the place. It was cold and we had to use the oven with the door open to warm the place. The one wall heater was cracked and ineffective. I will be posting this on the review page.
Thanks to Anita and Mika for a splendid experience.
We will definitely see Tabu House again in the future. Location is perfect and there are many places to eat and visit in a 200 meter radius. Would highly recommend it.
I use a sports wheelchair because I cannot walk far due to my disability. The owners helped me with the only 2 stairs that were there and I could do the rest myself because I am very dependent on myself. I really got much more value for my money than I could have ever asked for! Many thanks to everyone who stays there. You are amazing! I recommend the place to people looking for silence and peace.
We were kindly received at the gate without having to call or press a button for attention. We were taken around the building and shown where our rooms were.
Nice place to stay for a couple.
It is a very nice place if you want to spend a night or two. The parking is only on a button, large vans or vans will not be able to enter easily. No problem. People are very friendly.
There was not enough secure parking within the premises and the vehicle had to be parked on the street one night. Parking is not mentioned on their website.
Friendly owners and staff.
All 3 owners were friendly and made us feel at home. We'll definitely visit Tabu House again.
Spacious cottage with beautiful bathrooms and well equipped kitchen. WiFi is also available. Walking distance from the beach and restaurants.
Our visit to Tabu House was fantastic. The place was neat and private. Was excited about the braai area as well, will definitely book again!
Very well located. Highly recommended.
Centrally located. Good first impression. The accommodation certifies this. Will definitely recommend it to others. 5-star quality.
Good location, good food.
Enjoyed my stay, the place is clean and close to the beach.
Clean and modern - will go back.
We enjoyed the stay, the welcoming was very friendly. Beautiful, neat and clean.
The stay was lovely, pity we couldn't make use of the pool cause it was cold.
We had a really nice stay and the place was very nice and tidy. Perfect to come to sleep every night and rest after all our daily activities. Many thanks to the kind people who made everything so beautiful.
We booked another room, but when we got there we got a better room, without any extras. Wasn't disturbed by guests, would go again anytime.
We enjoyed our stay here and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would just suggest that they put a TV in the units.
We shared a bathroom with two other guest rooms, worked well. Some tips to the owner: 1) I would fit towel rings or rails in each room where you can hang your towel as you can not leave it in the bathroom. 2) More clearly mark the parking bays so people do not waste space. 3) Wife missed a hair dryer. We would definitely come again!
My daughter is Diabetic 1 and we are in the process of training her a "Medical alert" dog. Tabu House immediately asked if we could bring my daughter's dog and had no problem with that. We live in Kleinmond and Leia (medical alert dog) and my daughter came to take the CGC (Canine good citizen) tests. They won the bronze, silver and gold in one day, and I believe it is partly because we were able to hang out quietly and safely at Tabu House the day before the test. Thank you very much Tabu House, we will definitely stay with you again when Leia has to come for her "sensing" training. I requested a specific self-catering unit, but Tabu House gave us a bigger/spacious unit, with a lawn for Leia, for the same price we would have paid for the smaller unit. We really appreciate it, thank you very much.
Wonderful and friendly. Clean and beautiful.
The reception was friendly and very helpful. The room is spacious and very comfortably laid out. Walking distance from the sea. We will definitely stay here again.
Friendly reception, very neat, modern room and facilities, secure parking and conveniently close to essentials, good location (safe area). Really surprisingly good value for the reasonable rates!
Great place. Please keep up the good work.
It is difficult to get three families (with children 10-12 yrs), from three different parts of the country together in the same place and time, especially with programs that change. Tabu staff tried to accommodate and help us as much as possible. The ladies were always friendly, and available every morning. The house, rooms, pool and parking areas were neat and clean. Please note that you share the house with other people as you rent separate rooms and then share the common areas (lounge, dining room, swimming pool, braai facilities, some bathrooms). The area was quiet and clean, and we felt very safe.
We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it. We did our reservation quite late and yet they still had space for us and its so beautiful and its a awesome get a way place to break free from your daily stress and just calm down and have fun and is also good place to spend quality time with your spouse or partner.
It is just what you need for a tranquil getaway. 100% happy and already recommended it to friends.
Anita and Mika were very hospitable and friendly. I just didn't feel the room that was provided to us was what we asked for. But accommodation was excellent.
Quiet, close to the beach and close to the city. Very convenient.
It was really lovely, just didn't know how the oven worked and couldn't get it working. And maybe have some matches there to use the stove. Apart from that I would love to come back soon again.
Wonderful location and enjoyed the privacy.
The room/house is stunning and very neat and clean. Good rates.
Excellent accommodation. Would recommend and definitely book again. TV in the unit will be available.
I was disappointed by the way we were treated. Being told to go to bed and our privacy was invaded. I was very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place to youngsters as there is no music or laughing allowed.
Amazing stay and would highly recommend.
Friendly people who put your comfort and safety first! Recommend Tabu House to anyone!
Really enjoyed my stay at Tabu House. Staff friendly and helpful. Will recommend friends and family.
Tabu House is located well, clean and neat. Will visit it again and recommend to all of my friends.
Honestly perfect place to be, owner is very friendly, thank you so much.
Friendly customer service and neat rooms.
We were in the cottage at Tabu house. It suited us to have a bit more privacy and not be in the main house. It was comfortable, reasonably well equipped and conveniently close to everything. We enjoyed our 10 days.
So glad I could stay here. Thank you for the great service!
Very good people and friendly. Had a nice time, will stay there any time again.
I would definitely recommend Tabu House. Everything was neat, clean and spacious. Room was relaxing and close to the beach and shops.
Wonderful house with top facilities. Good bed. Pretty rooms with a great shower.
Beautiful place and we were received with so much hospitality. We were provided with dry towels every day and the panel heater was turned on for us every night, as were the lights. The studio room is well furnished with everything one could ask for. The owners made us feel very welcome and made sure everything was in order. We will definitely stay here again when we are in Bloubergstrand.
We enjoyed our stay at Tabu House. Nice clean room, welcoming staff, very friendly. Location was perfect, close to restaurants, shopping malls and the beach. Perfect!
All that was short is the TV. We don't know the Cape so we wanted to keep an eye on the news and know where we could go and stay out. Like the buses that go on strike and roads that are closed or fires.
We had to find accommodation in a hurry in the Cape Town area and were very lucky to come across Tabu House. The staff were incredibly helpful. I booked the cheapest unit and after the lady could tell by my voice that we were not young anymore, she moved us to a ground floor unit with our own bathroom on her own initiative. It made a huge difference to our stay. She called us twice to make sure we were ok with the self check-in system. We had dinner at the nearby Ocean Basket that night and the secure parking and access to Tabu House made it easy for us. The friendly chat of the lady who saw us in the morning put us in a good mood for the day. We will definitely stay here again if we need accommodation.
Tabu House is tidy and the rooms are spacious. Good customer service. The place offers good value for money.
We really enjoyed our stay at Tabu house. Will definitely do it again. We loved it.
Tabu house is definitely a place where you can stay. Very neat, peaceful environment, close to the sea and very friendly people.
Tabu House was a lovely place to stay, we were only there for a weekend to attend a specific event, and it was conveniently close to everything we needed.
See stars.
Quick and easy self-check-in. Short, safe walk to Tableview beach, plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. Safe parking inside gates. Good WiFi, no TV but the view made up for that! Hosts are relaxed and happy to share kitchen and fridge/freezer space etc.
Shower pressure a bit low, but it's due to the water pressure. Otherwise, it was great. The bed is nice and soft and you can sleep well.
Although we had a great stay and would like to use the house again in the near future, there is only one thing that should be noted. The light switch behind the sliding bathroom door was broken due to the door slide open. It can be a bit dangerous, but other than that we had a very nice stay and our dogs were safe.
WiFi pathetic, signal poor. Vodacom's data worked better. Safe parking and WiFi is 2 important requirements for us business travellers.
Friendly and helpful staff, the unit was very neat and clean.
Close to beachfront and shops with plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Nice sized suite with a large fridge and cooking facilities.
Tabu House was just what my friend and I needed. Quiet atmosphere in a friendly environment.
The bathroom was very dirty and the shower clogged! Unhygienic! Had to share bathroom with other people. Pathetic. There was only a rooftop fan in the room that could not dare to switch it on with all the noise. We stayed two days, no place is cleaned, no new towels are provided. Parking was a problem. Is very unhappy and will not stay there again. And have to say it's a pity because the place is so central in Blouberg. Perhaps it can only be improved?
Lovely place to stay at, close to the beach, restaurants and other amenities. Tabu House is very modern, room was very spacious and clean. Enjoyed our stay!
Tabu house is very neat, the location is great, because it is close to the beach and places to eat. The customer service was excellent, we were welcomed very kindly.
We arrived there and were immediately greeted like friends and felt very welcome. Will go back again anytime.
Would recommend this accommodation.
See stars.
Would definitely recommend, if your budget is low but you're looking for a neat place, just no TV but for the price you don't expect that.
The place is quaint and safe, will stay there again.
Locks not in good working order.
It was perfect for my needs.
See stars.
Location of guesthouse is excellent.
