The location was perfect. Lovely area. The house is beautiful. The staff very welcoming and efficient. Breakfast was promptly served and very nice. We requested a room with a separate room for our teenage son which was accommodated. Walking distance from bars and restaurants and a short drive to lots of places worth visiting. The owner, Inri, was very friendly, very informative and we enjoyed our chats with her. Netflix in the bedroom. Parking was provided. The upstairs lounge was gorgeous and a real pleasure in which to relax.
Not much. The room wasn't as nicely finished as the other rooms but as it was the only one that came with two rooms we were OK with that. Garage was a little tight for an SUV. Really though these did not affect the pleasure of our stay whatsoever.

It was our first stay to this beautiful Lodge and already planned our next stay with Inri the Owner. Inri definitely has amazing interior decorating skills and it is evident in every room you enter. The whole Lodge is beautifully decorated and ultra comfortable but besides this the staff were amazing and friendly and we're so helpful, warm and kind so much so that they have become our friends now. The breakfasts were very tasty and very filling and were impressed that they supply a water fountain and bottles to take to your rooms so never need to bring in your own water in. The rooms were so clean on entering it felt like no-one stayed there before us!
Hand on heart there was nothing we did not like about this Lodge perhaps the only thing we all didn't like was leaving it.

Very comfortable stay,the staff were all very friendly and most helpful with any requests,they made my stay memorable they went out of their to make sure I was safe and comfortable...many thanks Food was excellent,service was also excellent.
The only negative was the strength and coverage of the wifi signal...it was at best intermittent. These days it needs to be unquestionably good.

Brilliant service by the staff and owner Inri. Very friendly and interactive. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms spacious and clean. Clean towels daily. Liked everything this guest house had to offer. Had everything one needs. A home away from home.
Bath in Leopard room needs a little tlc, ie re-enameling, but does not detract from this wonderful guest house.

The staff were absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly. The locations is great. Rooms spacious and everything you need in the room. Breakfast so good and well done to the staff Fresh fruit and full English breakfast. Muffins were absolutely delicious and good coffee - worth a visit.
Bathroom door would not close - but nothing serious.

We loved EVERYTHING about our stay here Inri, Aaron, Charmaine couldn't do enough for us and with the other guests. Our rooms were incredibly spacious and everything worked in our rooms which is a first!! A stunning location and we walked to the shops and restaurants. We are booked in again middle March and it's the ONKY place we would stay when we visit Cape Town.
Nothing at all

It was an excellent stay, from breakfast to comfort of the rooms. All the needs were met. Even a steam iron was placed in the room! Beds and bathrooms were really clean. Everybody was friendly. Location was really easy for foreigners. Great food, great coffee! Thank you for everything.
No bad comments.

A short review because this was the perfect guest house... enough said! Staff were above average, rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was superb. Conveniently located in the southern suburbs of Cape Town with easy access to highways and numerous restaurants and shops nearby, yet in a very quiet street. The view of the Table Mountain range was awesome too. The owner is very much part of operations and it showed in everything from the welcome through the catering and the state of the rooms (well kitted out with fridge, coffee, aircon etc) Having travelled extensively around the world, this guest house rates in my top 10.
Nothing to not like!
