Captain's House Inn

We have traveled worldwide and have been guests in many places but this was one that will stand out in our memories. The staff here, led by Ms. Rachel' couldn't be kinder, efficient, or genuinely caring about those who stay here. The room was very comfortable, the full breakfast included and the desire to make you fell at home was evident from the start. The inn is situated close to the town center and very convienent to shops and restaurants. It was a real pleasure staying here and we heartily recommend this establishment.

We stayed at the Captain’s House Inn in September a couple of years ago, and it was probably instrumental in our decision to return to Chatham again this May. We originally booked for two nights but ended up extending to a third, partly because we loved Chatham as a base for exploring so much of the Cape, but also because we genuinely loved the inn itself. Captain’s House has a different vibe to most places. It feels like a really well‑run blend of B&B warmth and hotel comfort, the sort of place where you could easily spend a day just enjoying your room and the grounds. Everything is spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. The bathrooms in particular are beautiful, and the shower tiling is practically a work of art. Breakfast is excellent, freshly made and with a proper choice of good options each morning. It’s the kind of breakfast that sets you up for the day without feeling repetitive or predictable. Most rooms have a verandah where you can sit out, read, or just relax while looking out over the gardens. It’s incredibly peaceful, and we did consider spending a whole day just enjoying the inn. If we’d stayed an extra night, we definitely would have. We found booking directly with the Inn was the cheapest option, and really think the very small amount extra you might pay to stay here, is worth every penny. A lovely place to stay, and one we were genuinely excited to return to.

Captain’s House Inn is an excellent bed and breakfast experience. The staff are very kind and the atmosphere is great.

We had a wonderful stay in March. The room was clean and roomy and very comfortable. Rachel did an amazing job with breakfast each morning. Lovely grounds and a beautiful house. We will definitely come back again!

We visited for 3 nights and had a wonderful respite from work. Our room was clean and tastefully decorated. We had a nice view of the yard and enjoyed reading in front of the gas fireplace. The bed and the reading chairs were comfy. Breakfast was delicious and served in a sunny, cheerful room with lots of windows to view the garden area. We also enjoyed the opportunity to have tea in the afternoon as well as cookies in the evening. The manager was wonderful - personable and very helpful.
