We stayed in the house attached to the property and it was a pleasant surprise. Everyone was very nice and the views were spectacular. I would love to come back and spend the week here. My only issue was the fact that the curtains don’t really blackout the light so when the sun comes up, it wakes you up because the entire house was very bright, but having all the windows overlooking the bay, made it worth it.

You should stay here!

Amazing stay. Fresh cooked to order breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. They went out of their way to make our stay amazing. We looked out over Kalk Bay. The town was welcoming with lots of food options easily walkable. We will be staying here again when we go back.

Great for a family stay in the centre of Kalk Bay

Great location, easy walk to harbour front, bars and restaurants. We had the comfort suite, which was seperate to the main guest house. It was very, very spacious, with wonderful views from the master bedroom/lounge on the first floor. It was cold whilst we were there. There is a log burner on each floor which you can purchase firewood/lighters for at reception. This was a must for the cold days. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helped when needed. Security were visible but made us feel safe.

This place is divine! A beautiful old house, lovely decor, spacious, incredible views, great location, and really lovely staff! Freshly ground coffee delivered to your room at a time you choose each morning was a great touch. I fell in love with Kalk Bay - what a gem of a town. And I'd highly recommend staying at Chartfield to anyone looking to visit Kalk Bay.

Brilliant weekend away

Excellent location in Kalk Bay - just ambling down the beautiful steps to several restaurant locations. That is if you want to leave the stunning views of the guesthouse porch. The room and amenities were in excellent condition.

Good value stay

Lovely staff and a very friendly welcome. Hotel has a lovely feel to it - amazing views and lots of lovely light. Generally cleanliness was great, apart from our bath in the room hadn’t been cleaned from the last guest so that wasn’t nice. There is a lovely pool area, but the covers on the sun loungers are looking quite sorry for themselves and need replacing really. It was also rather unusual to have a double bed made up… but with two single quilts. Even with these few elements not being up to scratch we still had a lovely stay and felt it was good for the price we paid.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved this place! I rented the loft room and there was a breeze, big windows and a fan, so I had no issues with it being too warm. I slept with the balcony door and windows open and it was lovely listening to the waves as I fell asleep. Breakfast was delicious! Hot tip: If you book directly with them, it's included. Really enjoyed the complementary coffee brought to my room. The location is fantastic. I walked to Dalebrook tidal pool and snorkeled there and later I walked to Kalky's in the harbour for delicious supper. No doubt I'd return here, it was just fantastic. A big treat!
