Capelle Guesthouse occupies a practical position in Aiwo District, the commercial centre of Nauru, situated immediately adjacent to the Capelle & Partner complex — the island's main supermarket, hardware retailer, and import distributor. Aiwo is Nauru's busiest district, with government offices, the Bank of Nauru, and the main commercial strip all within easy walking distance. The guesthouse sits roughly 2 kilometres north of Nauru International Airport along the western coastal ring road, making airport transfers straightforward.

The building is a modest single-storey structure typical of commercial Nauruan construction, offering clean, air-conditioned rooms with functional furnishings suited to extended stays. Room configurations include single and twin options, each with a private or semi-private bathroom, wardrobe storage, and a desk suitable for working. The shared kitchen is well-maintained with basic cooking equipment, allowing guests to self-cater using provisions from the adjacent Capelle & Partner store — a distinct advantage given the limited restaurant options elsewhere on the island.

No on-site dining or restaurant is available, but the proximity to the Capelle store compensates significantly. Laundry facilities are shared among guests. WiFi coverage extends throughout the property. Parking is available for guests who arrange vehicle hire. The property primarily targets business visitors, government contractors, and longer-term island residents rather than leisure tourists, and the management reflects this orientation with practical, no-fuss service and reliable communication by phone. For travellers who need a clean, well-located base near Nauru's commercial hub, Capelle Guesthouse delivers without excess.
