Makuti Lodge
Words can't truly capture how amazing this place is. If the new owners are even half as kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm-hearted as Doreen Dawson, then Makuti Lodge will remain a gem. We arrived without reservations, and she went above and beyond to help—something I’ll never forget. The lodge itself is breathtaking: lush gardens, pet-friendly (she calls it 'Makuti Lodge is friendly pet'—such a sweet touch!), clean, and perfectly positioned right at the edge of a mountain cliff. Each cottage has its own private garden, and the pool is the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring. It’s ideally located near Kirstenbosch Gardens and the Constantia wine routes. This isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience. I won’t consider anywhere else when visiting Hout Bay again.
Waterland Lodge
Located in Cape Town, Waterland Lodge offers a stunning setting with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast is absolutely wonderful—fresh, delicious, and well-prepared, with a great variety of options. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, going the extra mile to make us feel at home. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. This is one of those rare stays that truly exceeds expectations. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to come back again.
Ikhaya Safari Lodge
Staying at Ikhaya Safari Lodge was an absolute dream—every detail felt perfect, from the breathtaking views to the warm hospitality. We spent four wonderful days here, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The location is incredibly convenient, with quick access from the airport via public transport or platform shuttles. Constantia makes a fantastic base for exploring Cape Town, offering easy day trips to nearby attractions. We booked a two-day hop-on hop-off bus pass and were able to ride all three routes without any hassle—perfect for seeing the highlights at your own pace. In the evenings, we enjoyed driving around in our rental car to explore the wineries, where we found some amazing restaurants with stunning views. If you prefer not to drive, using the platform’s ride services worked out perfectly. Overall, this lodge delivers an unforgettable experience with unbeatable value—highly recommended!
Future Found Sanctuary in Hout Bay by Newmark
Our final stop on a 3.5-week journey through the Western Cape was two nights at the Villa Verte section of this incredible retreat — and it truly lived up to every expectation. The property is split into three distinct areas, with the recent addition of two forest pods (definitely booking those next time). Our room in Villa Verte was spacious and featured a generous balcony overlooking the lush canopy below — perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. While the room itself is impressive, the real magic lies in the overall experience: staying here feels like rewinding your clock, slowing down, and truly disconnecting. Choose between two pools — one at Villa Verte, another at Maison Noir — both inviting and beautifully set. Breakfast can be enjoyed at either location, and if you’re after a cup of coffee, just ask one of the staff (big thanks to Keith — always so attentive). We opted to dine in for dinner, and simply letting them know was all it took — they delivered a thoughtful menu and served us at the communal table in Maison Noir, creating a warm, shared atmosphere. Want a glass of bubbly? Keith or Prosper will happily oblige. The gym was surprisingly well-equipped — the first I’ve used on holiday that actually felt enjoyable. Steam room? Check. Massage? Yes, absolutely. And if you’re in the mood for something cozy, you can book the private cinema room, order fresh popcorn, and enjoy a movie with a chilled drink in hand. Pure bliss. Special shoutout to Andrew, the manager — his friendly, engaging personality and local tips made our trip even more memorable (we’re already planning a trip to the Karoo!). Two nights flew by like a week, and we even stepped out for dinner at La Colombe on our second night. This place isn’t just a stay — it’s a sanctuary. Without hesitation, we’ll be returning in 2026.
