The Walden House is a boutique hotel in Cape Town. A villa-style Victorian townhouse on the buzzy Victoria & Albert Waterfront, the hotel offers warm and friendly service as well as a more intimate, homely atmosphere than your average stay in the city. Should you leave the four walls of The Walden House, take time to visit nearby Clifton Beach or go further afield to Table Mountain or the Cape Peninsula National Park.

It's all about the rooms at this well turned-out boutique hotel, but there is a gorgeously refreshing swimming pool, as well as a terrace for enjoying breakfasts and drinks.

Each of The Walden House's seven suites are individually decorated with refurbished and reclaimed Victorian colonial-style pieces. Clean-lined white-and-cream rooms come complete with Wi-Fi, air conditioning and satellite TV - check in to the Large Luxury Suite for a fireplace and Victorian bathroom.
