"Acorn House review"
We loved breakfast on the terrace by the pool and afternoon tea when we came back from town. Loved the home-made biscuits! Easy to get Ubers into the centre and back and to Kloof Street.
Only tiny negative (and it is very small) is that the pool could have done with a bit more cleaning as it had bits of foliage floating in/on it. But that may be impossible to sort as there are trees and vines near it." See all these reviews: 11n in South Africa
"Acorn House review"
The staff were helpful and welcoming, providing advice and help when we needed it. Breakfast is excellent and varied. They only start serving at 8am, but were very accommodating in providing us an early breakfast and packed lunch when we had an early start.
There is a spacious lounge for relaxing in and a good choice or reasonable priced refreshment available" See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in South Africa; 3n in Zimbabwe

Also great help with our first time using Uber. We had a lovely suite on the ground floor with access to the patio. What a lovely end to the trip. And no security fences Yeah!
Also liked the deli across the road. It became a little home from home." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 4n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe

A very good and quiet unit on the wall provided the A/C & heating. Both were needed when we were there! Very friendly and attentive staff who were able to help with information.
The breakfast spread is very good with pancakes and delicious custard tart!

"Great location for the city"
We did use our car around the city as it is quite a walk - more on the way home than there (it's uphill) and easily found parking. Some guests didn't have a car but we were pleased we did as it meant we could get around at our pace/leisure rather than to an itinerary or a bus timetable.
That said where we used taxis they were reasonable." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
