UNIQUE SELF-CATERING GUEST HOUSE
Au Pear is an old Cape cottage with four luxury suites surrounding a courtyard with Catawba and Hanepoot grape vines. Completely renovated while retaining much of its period charm, this darling boutique guest house is tucked up a side road in the heart of leafy Newlands.
We are within walking distance of the University of Cape Town, Newlands Forest, Newlands rugby and cricket grounds, local pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. It's only a 15-minute drive to the City Centre or Cape Town international airport and 20 minutes to the beach.
Au Pear is unique in that breakfast is not provided so you are not paying for something you may not necessary want. The house is set up so that guests can do their own catering in the fully-equipped kitchen, and we find that the majority prefer this.
There is a very good mini-supermarket just two minutes’ walk away that also has a bakery where you can buy delicious fresh croissants etc. Some guests prefer to have breakfast at one of the many gorgeous eateries nearby, such as The Gardeners Cottage at Montebello (a five-minute stroll along Newlands Avenue), Melissa’s and Cassis at Kildare Centre or Foresters Arms pub on the corner, to name a few.
We now also have the option of paying with a credit card.
Better that any 5* Hotel
I am just getting down to writing you a line to thank you for the lovely stay we had in Au Pear in February 2013. Your place was beautiful and Jones was No 1. I would love to take a Bridge Group to the Cape but it is a long way but I hope to return to see my family some time and will stay at Au Pear. Of all the things we saw and places we visited, it is the character of Au Pear that is the special, intangible draw to return. Thank You! I have told a lot of my friends about your Guest House – better that any 5* Hotel.
simply perfect
Wonderful attention to detail, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom. The courtyard is divine. The pub down the road does great food and has a super outdoor bar.

Lovely Au Pear
My Cape Town visit was wonderful and I have every intention of coming back in 2-3 years. Au Pear certainly contributed to it being a great experience and I would be very happy to stay with you again. I know that both Julia and Rosanna feel the same way.
Thank you again for your kindness and for sharing you lovely Au Pear.
