Hi, we’re Carl and Emsie.
If you’ve ever travelled for work, you’ll know that business travel in Cape Town isn’t always as glamorous as it sounds. Early flights, back-to-back meetings, living out of a suitcase… it can be exhausting. And when you finally stop for the day, the last thing you want is accommodation that feels cold and impersonal.
That’s why, at Somerset View Guest House, we’ve designed our space with corporate travellers in mind. We know you need more than just a room… you need a guest house that makes business trips smoother, calmer, and a little more enjoyable.
Working with travel partners you know
We’re proud to be a trusted choice for travellers booking through well-known corporate travel agencies such as Rennies Travel, XL Travel, Corporate Traveller, Atlantis Travel, and Travel IT. They know that when their clients stay with us, they’ll be looked after — not just checked in.
The comfort you actually need
After a long day of client meetings, there’s nothing better than arriving somewhere that feels welcoming. Our rooms are stylish and comfortable… quiet enough to catch up on emails with reliable Wi-Fi, yet cosy enough to simply switch off and rest.
Whether you’re here for a single overnight or a longer stay, we focus on the details that matter for accommodation for corporate travellers.
Meals that make life easier
We know most business travellers don’t always have the energy to head out after a full day. That’s why we love preparing home-cooked meals right here at Somerset View. It’s one less thing to plan, one less decision to make and a comforting way to start or end the day.
Getting you where you need to be
Logistics matter on a work trip. No scrambling for taxis, no guessing with directions our airport shuttle in Cape Town makes sure you get to the airport or your meetings on time, without stress.
The little extras that matter
It’s often the small things that make the biggest difference:
A peaceful setting that helps you recharge.
Meeting-friendly spaces where you can prepare in private.
Local knowledge so you can use your free hour to discover Cape Town’s hidden gems.
A lift when you need one… early flight, last-minute meeting or a quick pick-up after dinner.
A warm, home-cooked meal on request (late arrivals included).
Help with the admin: printing, scanning, parcel drop-offs or even a pharmacy run.
If something comes up, just ask. We’re happy to help. Going the extra mile is simply how we do things at Somerset View.
At Somerset View, we’re not just your hosts. We’re here to make sure your corporate travel in Cape Town is effortless, comfortable and memorable.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
Carl & Emsie
