Four Rosmead Review
A small guest house on the slopes of Table Mountain in Oranjezicht, on the City Bowl side.
Best for
A first trip, with the mountain and the city both in reachCouplesTravellers hiring a car for part of the stay rather than all of it
Why it stands out
The slope. Being above the city rather than in it is what buys the quiet, the view and the ten minutes to the cable car.
Main trade-off
It is a guest house rather than a hotel — few rooms and no fallback if it is full — and the walk back up from town is steep enough to matter.
Why we recommend it
Best all-round base
Our strongest all-round pick because it sits on the Oranjezicht slope of the City Bowl, which is the compromise this whole city is arranged around: the cableway above, the CBD below, and Kloof Street's restaurants on the way down.
