Location is good for visiting all the Cape Town attractions. You can easily get to the wine region and further along the coast to whale watch. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully designed. On our second visit we stayed in room 12 which was a self catering suite but we stayed on a B&B rate. The breakfasts are great, I...
My wife and our 2 sons stayed at Mbalentle guesthouse for 5 nights in one of the self catering units called Elonwabeni.It was the most memorable experience of our whole trip to South Africa.
The rooms were clean and comfortable and the location is central so all attractions and activities in Cape Town are easily accessable.
The owner is a...
We stayed at the Wild Rose Country Lodge for one week during our 3 week honeymoon. It is absolutely beautiful and worth the 30 kilo distance from Cape Town. The rooms are well appointed, food was great, and the hospitality was fantastic! South Africa is a long way from Maine but we're planning on going back one day with our...
I recently stayed at The Kings Place in the apartment. This was my second visit, the first was in the cottage. The apartment has wonderful views across the valley to the mountains, looking over the superb pool and tree filled gardens. Hout bay is one of the most beautiful places in the Cape and provides many excellent restaurants but Cape...
This was my 2nd visit to SeaMore Express Tours & Guesthouse and I was even more enchanted! Kyrt and RJ are fantastic hosts and guides. Their flexibility is terrific and their knowledge, understanding and humor is becoming legendary. I am finding more and more reasons to return to CT, not least to see these 2 guys for whom nothing is...
We flew Dublin to Heathrow with BMI and then on to Cape Town [CT] on the overnight BA42 flight. All flights departed on time, with polite crew providing an efficient in-flight service. Being a night flight, the in-flight order of service was; drinks, food, further drinks following which the lights were quickly dimmed. I soon fell asleep and woke some...
Spent our anniversary night at Villa Belmonte. Disappointed with tired room interior. We were one of only two couples staying there. After returning from dinner(in Camps Bay), found our room had not be turned down, bed was a mess.Poor nights sleep: noisy owners at 1.30am, moving metal furniture around on the outside deck while having a smoke. Breakfast next morning...
The positive:
- Friendly manager.
- Good cleaning staff (but not on public holidays).
- Free internet was nice and uncommon addition for the region.
- Decent location.
The Negative:
- Selected due to 4 sleeper capabilities, however “makeshift” beds 3 and 4 placed randomly in the unit were very uncomfortable. Lack of room darkening contributed to this discomfort.
-...
One Rustic Road is absolutely beautifully put together and designed, with fabulous architecture, great rooms, classic pieces of furniture and lovely artwork around the house. The pool and garden are very well thought-out. All in all physically the place was a very special place to be for four nights.
We were warmly welcomed with a glass of wine, and the...
Location was good, but the hotel was absolutely no good value for money. Rooms were poor, dirty, small, old and with fungus.
You'll get vouchers for breakfast, but you have to pay extra to get a full breakfast. Really strange.
Staff was unfriendly, lazy and chaotic.
We would absolutely not recommend this place.
Four of us stayed at the guesthouse at 39 Lighthouse Road in Kommetjie, Cape Town, for a week over New Year 2010-2011. I can highly recommend it.
The guesthouse is very spacious, beautifully equipped and furnished, it has a huge kitchen and living area, wonderful views, a fantastic wooden deck area upstairs (we spent most of our evenings up there...
Sadly, there was much to disappoint at The Charles. The 'Superior' room might have lived up to expectations has it been serviced to an acceptable standard - lacking toiletries, soap dish, replacement coffe and milk, and on one occasion a hand towel; they 'ran out' according to the maid. One day it was not serviced at all (until we requested...
Small lodge with excellent rooms and excellent location. The only downside to this accommodation is the owner/manager and his friend. Both made a wrong career choice! They are moody, not service oriented and sometimes outright blunt. Despite the qualities of the location, the behavior of this managerial duo grows on you, and not in a nice way. I won’t be...
South Africa is a lovely country with very upmarket hotels en guesthouse .Stay away from this one .Terrible service .Needs a upgrade .Not in a good part of the city .
New management and a upgrade on the interior will help
For a 4-star hotel, the family apartment is really poor. 2 kids had to sleep on a sleeping-couch which was way too short, the adultroom was small and besides that the only way to the bathroom. Next to the apartment renovation works were going on!
Friendly people, good breakfast!
I have stayed twice at the Amalfi. It provides good value for the price at 450r for a single room. I also like the kitchenette. The first time I stayed there I got my own gate opener, so I could come and go as I please, but the last time I stayed, they no longer has any available, and I...
Our last day of a fantastic holiday in cape town, after a week of safari, canoeing, hiking, all we wanted to do was lie on a sun lounger and be spoiled for the day.we were booked into upper east side hotel 5 star and were disappointed to find they had no outside sitting nor sunbathing area, so we decided to...
I was not at all impressed by Cape Diem Lodge, which was disappointing as I had chosen it on the basis of some very good Tripadvisor reviews.
Our room layout was designed more with profit in mind than comfort, I suspect. In the main body of the room there was no seating area, limited space for relaxation or storage and,...
