The John Bauer Pottery Studio — Hotel in Claremont

We stayed there for a week whilst in Cape Town and I can definitely say that it is not a B & B! I would class it more as a backpackers Lodge. There is no kitchen? No braai facility? The house is nice and clean and looked after. Our beds and rooms were cleaned every morning. There is a tumble dryer in the bathroom but no washing machine?. Each room has a facility to make tea or coffee (but that's it) There is a communal bar fridge in the passage which is way too small. The main room is the only room with a basin to wash or rinse cups and glasses? All the rooms are en-suite except the one room. There is a main bathroom in the house with bath, shower, toilet, basin (quite big) There was no garage to park our hired kombi so we had to park in the street? This is...

Perfect, peaceful place with easy access in and around Cape Town. We ended up arriving pretty late and our awesome hosts Shaun and Mish were more than accommodating and super-attentive to our needs, sending us excellent instructions via Whatsapp to pick up keys, locate our rooms, find our exquisite breakfast baskets for next morning, access wifi, and settle in. Potters Room and Garden self-catering rooms both spotless and inviting, with everything well provided for our comfort and safety (including the real pleasure of books to browse and enjoy!). Plenty of plug points for laptop, phone charging. Thank you Shaun and Mish, we're so glad we booked to stay at JB Pottery B&B! If I could give 100...

I loved my stay, Gail was so helpful and showed me John Bauer's art collection which I really appreciated. It was an absolute treat to see his journey as an artist and their story displayed within the John Bauer Guesthouse

I also got to meet the wonderful Jackson and get a few meows and purrs.

My room was clean, artfully decorated and had a heater and spare fluffy blanket which was totally necessary. The bathroom is beautiful and came with clean towels and toiletries.

I would definitely stay...
