The room I had (12) was comfortable, well-appointed, with a deep tub in the bathroom and very nice toiletries. The room had a relaxing view of the pool in the garden and the mountains in the distance. It was one of the best lodges I have ever stayed in anywhere in the world."

• "A Warm Welcome and Great Service"

  27 March 2007

  "We stumbled upon this lovely guest house on our last visit and enjoyed it so much that we came back again - only 6 weeks later! The hosts and staff are very friendly, helpful and informative. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The pool area is quiet and relaxing. Location is great - you can walk across the road to Peddlars for a snack or meal, or easily get onto the motorway to travel into Cape Town or elsewhere. The centre of Constantia is walk able or a short hop by car. We never dined in the on-site restaurant, but always heard good reports from those who did. All-in-all, a lovely spot to stay."
