A daily English breakfast is served each morning, featuring fresh seasonal fruit, yogurt, cereals, and cooked-to-order hot options like eggs, bacon, and vegetables.

Location and transportation

The guesthouse is located in the upscale Mouille Point area, right across from the beach and promenade. It is a 20-minute walk from the V&A Waterfront, less than 10 minutes' walk from Green Point Lighthouse and Cape Town Stadium, and a 15-minute drive from Camps Bay beach. Table Mountain is also nearby. Cape Town International Airport is 25 km away. The 'MyCity' bus routes stop close by, and the Hop-On Hop-Off bus has a stop just down the road. On-site parking is available, and street parking is also an option.

Services and amenities

Dolphin Inn Guesthouse offers free uncapped WiFi throughout the property, daily housekeeping, and luggage storage. Express check-in and check-out are available. The guesthouse provides airport shuttle services (including pick-up and drop-off) and can arrange drivers for airport transfers. Safety features include CCTV in common areas and outside, fire extinguishers, key access, and a safety deposit box. An accessible parking space is available. Guests can also use the shared lounge and TV area. The hosts assist with local advice, restaurant recommendations, and tour arrangements.

“It's the seamless integration of a striking sea view, enjoyed from the breakfast room or even a room balcony, with genuine hospitality that truly defines this guesthouse. The location, right on the promenade and within easy reach of the V&A Waterfront, makes it an exceptionally convenient base for exploring, yet it retains a quiet charm. The attention to detail, from comfortable rooms to the warmth of the hosts, creates a decidedly homely atmosphere.”
