About
Peaceful Getaway
Peaceful Getaway is a guest house set on Foundry Road in Salt River, a vibrant inner-city suburb of Cape Town. With just seven rooms, the property keeps things intimate and low-key, focusing on rest rather than resort-style extras. A 24-hour reception and round-the-clock security make it a practical base for travellers arriving late or leaving early.
The guest house sits 600 metres from the Whatiftheworld Gallery, an easy 10-minute stroll for art lovers. Free private parking is a genuine bonus in this part of the city, and the property also features a shared kitchen, a leisure/TV room, and garden furniture for those who want to unwind without going far.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Modest guest ratings — While the overall score is a perfect 5.0, the category scores are lower, especially for Value (5.0) and Service (5.3), suggesting the experience may not match everyone's expectations for the price.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, which can be restrictive if your flight or travel plans bring you in later.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry companion, this guest house won't be able to accommodate you.
- Small property — With just 7 rooms, availability can be tight and the atmosphere is more pared-back than a full-service hotel.
- Ranking in the area — The property ranks 2682 out of 2880 in Cape Town, which reflects the competitive local market and may give pause to some travellers.
