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.
Extra little touches made our stay very memorable
How we’ve come to love it here at Au Pear! Thank you so much for creating such a lovely home and sharing it with us. All the little touches of art, character, luxury and love, together with your kindness, friendliness of staff (Jones is precious) and the extra little touches certainly made our stay a very memorable one. Thank you also for your willingness to let us have our special day (wedding) here and sharing it with us. We hope to return every year, God-willing and wish you the very best of love, joy and hope in years to come.
Classy and Charming
Very tastefully and beautifully decorated guest house. The owner does not stay on the premises but you are well looked after by Jones, the housekeeper. It has four bedrooms all en suite – rooms are quite small but have large bathrooms. Excellent beds and linen. Well located near to Foresters Arms and SACS high school if you need to come and attend a sports event.
5 of 5 stars
Will most certainly recommend
It was a really wonderful place to stay. I will definitely be back! I will be coming down every month for business, and will always have Au Pear as my first choice! I have a number of friends with kids at UCT, and am often asked for a recommendation. I will most certainly recommend Au Pear. Jones was really great too.
