Reviews of John Bauer Pottery Studio

Me and my son, we had a great time staying at the guesthouse. Our host, Gale, and John were very friendly and accommodating so I'll be looking forward to next time to stay here when visiting Cape Town again.

The rooms are light and airy; well appointed and the use of the whole house with pottery displayed made it very homely. Gail was so friendly and helpful and meeting John, the Potter, was a special experience!

Many thanks to Gail, Aunty Lady and all of the staff at the John Bauer Pottery Studio and Guesthouse for a wonderful stay. My room was comfortable, immaculate and the everybody went out of their way to provide a memorable experience!

The host was friendly, welcoming and organised. Before i entered the premises, i was onboarded adequately. The facilities were well maintained. The kitchen and lounge space decked with art pieces were delightful. Thank you for sharing your work and the trinkets in the room.

Friendly hosts, safe neighbourhood in a good location, very clean and well looked after, highly recommend.

The guests house is neat from bathrooms ,bedrooms and kitchen. We felt at home. We used their washing machine to wash out dirty clothes. I came back from holiday with clean clothes. Everything was perfect. Easy to get an Uber and its close to a train station

My wife and I were very satisfied with the accommodation provided. It suited our requirements perfectly. The off-street parking was a bonus.

Such a nice place to stay. The rooms are big and area quiet. Really enjoyed staying there. Our host and her staff are very friendly and helpful. Really went out of their way to make sure we enjoy the stay.

Artistic, peaceful, and homely. Clean, well furnished, with Gail’s warm touch making it unforgettable.

What a lovely visit. Gail and Fadzi were amazing and made us feel at home. Cannot wait to return for another visit.

The room was neat, tidy and clean, and the accommodation is situated in a very quiet ad safe area. I will definitely recommend it to others. The room could do with a TV, that was the only drawback, but otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.

We stayed for 10 days in March 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed the guesthouse and facilities. Gail is an excellent host and provided useful assistance and directions. The room was very comfortable, the kitchen has all the equipment required to prepare meals and eat in. Shops and resturants wre all within comfortable wasling distance and the Uber service was safe and fast. We will return for another future holiday

Excellent stay. I felt right at home. The keys and other info were very good explained in a video. Communication was excellent and hosts really friendly that. Great value for money.

A very interesting, comfortable, peaceful and elegant building. Excellent information was provided, and there were good facilities for catering.
