Cape Town, South Africa

I was really looking forward to staying at Antrim based on all the wonderful reviews, but it was unfortunately a stressful experience (quite disappointing since we booked a whole week at the villa). The B&B decor is nice and modern, but if you are looking for peace and quiet, or helpful staff, stay elsewhere. The usual charm of a B&B...

Extraordinarily noisy from traffic unless you get one of the rooms away from the busy road. They held a loud Indian celebration till almost midnight without telling guests in advance. There was no way anyone could sleep. Neighborhood has no food after 9 pm and you wouldn't want to walk outside at night. microwaved omelets and beans and instant coffee...

I arrived at this establishment and was ushered in the rain over an uncut lawn over a quaint, but rickety, bridge to three adjoining rooms about 120m+ from the main building. First thing I noticed was a double bed in the middle of a cement floor with no table to work at or write a note or, for the ladies,...

If you disregard the price, this is an ok hotel with ok rooms (although extremely small bathrooms). It is just EXTREMELY overpriced. The breakfast varies slightly every day but most days it was really not good and 3 people in our group of 6 fell ill from the breakfast. The service was extremely bad and unaccomodating from the management (not...

This hotel is really geared up for conferences rather than tourists and although the rooms are comfortable the surroundings are very much a work in progress, in fact drilling was going on in the evening we were there. The hotel website does not much advertise the restaurant and it's easy to understand why. An unappetising buffet with only chops or...

We stayed 5 nights in the main house in the family room with the lounge. For what it was the price was very high but I suspect that this was hiked up for the World Cup. Room was clean and comfortable but fairly basic. Strangley the TV was in the bedroom and no TV in the lounge, but we managed....

We stayed at the Dunkley house for three days last December. Yes, it's a nice hotel: clean, well situated, great amenities, friendly staff, etc. But I would strongly advise anyone with a vehicle to look elsewhere. The hotel does not have off-street parking and the owners are too cheap to hire a night guard to watch the streets. Our car...

My husband booked us into the Southern Sun De Waal after reading reviews on this page, however I feel that the hotel doesn't run according to 3* standard, in fact I would rate this hotel in South African terms 1*. We found 2 lizzrds in our room on arrival, the shower curtain stunk damp and the bathroom was cramped, the...

We stayed here for a night in Feb 2011 for around R900. The lodge is somewhat out of the main area of the central town in the 'suburbs', set in beautiful grounds and gardens. There was a lovely, generous breakfast with delicious fresh fruit, meats, cereals, eggs (but cheeses could have been more varied, given the surrounds). Very kind and...

A very unique natural room with lots of space. The bed is ‘very’ comfortable and stylishly made of re-claimed wood. It was interesting to read and view the house construction - of which is decorated in its own distinctive way. Staying here will reduce your carbon footprint as they re-use waste water and use organic materials across the board. Great...

Stayed with my mom at Acorn Lodge over the Christmas holiday last year. It's such a lovely place! The property is gated and well secured with locks and buzzers so I felt safe all the time. The house itself is well furnished and really makes you feel at home. A really nice lady named June runs the B&B herself and...

My wife and I stayed overnight at Parrington Manor, early in May, after an unpleasant experience in a Guest House elsewhere in Somerset West. What a Classy and Elegant establishment, both in the accommodation, accessories contained therein, the adjoining house itself and the immaculate garden and pool. The owners were attentive and very friendly throughout, too. That was "five star...

Ellerman House is a boutique hotel that offers a personalised experience. All the rooms are sea facing and the private villa is ideal for groups. The art collection offers a great introduction to South African artists. Dinner on the verandah is an elegant affair. The service was friendly. I am a vegan and was invited into the kitchen to discuss...

O on Kloof is an amazing hotel with fantastic amenities and staff. My husband and I checked in here for the last 5 days of our South African honeymoon. We stayed in room 1 which was just so comfortable, relaxing, spacious, and luxurious. We loved the deck with the hammock and hot tub and used it each day. The staff...

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...

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...
