Save to favouritesPrintMailDerwent HouseCarol and Jo, on the run from grey English winters, were enraptured by the vibrant nature of Capetonians and their city. The tangible result of their African satori is Derwent House, a colourful, friendly and light-filled boutique hotel, which consciously embraces the spirit of the new South Africa. The hotel’s muted pale-grey facade looks conventionally Cape-Victorian, but to the rear a spectacular double-heighted loggia, a wooden-decked pool and 2 garden wings of [r:SA010:rooms] bring Derwent House straight into modern mode. High, south-facing windows pour light into the open-plan lounge/diner, where angular leather sofas, kudu-covered chairs, huge Xhosa paintings and signed prints of Mandela’s Robben Island sketches, are juxtaposed with subdued white-and-grey walls and floors of buff sandstone. The brightness of the decoration is matched by Carol and Jo. Anyone who celebrates inclusivity rather than exclusivity will be warmly welcomed at their gay-friendly hotel. We applaud their ethical employment policy and unbridled enthusiasm for their adopted city.
