Fodor's Expert Review Chartfield Guesthouse

This surprisingly stylish and great-value guesthouse is within walking distance of all the bohemian pleasures in the charming fishing village of Kalk Bay. Located in a grand old house above the harbor, bright and airy rooms are decorated in a contemporary beach-chic style, and most have sea views. Comfortable and stylish public areas include a glassed-in sunroom, meeting room, lovely outdoor terrace, pool and garden, and small bar. You only get 50MB of free Wi-Fi, but a good breakfast is included if you book directly. Those planning on a longer stay may want to inquire about the self-catering apartment across the street.
