If a sixth star existed, we’d absolutely give this charming place a six-star rating. The rooms are spacious, bright, and immaculately clean—truly a delight to stay in. Breakfast was an absolute highlight: chef’s special omelettes, hearty oats, fresh fruit, and delicious croissants, all perfect to enjoy in the garden or on the veranda with a morning breeze. Yves and Valérie were incredibly welcoming and always ready to answer our questions—plus their local tips were genuinely helpful. From start to finish, the entire team made us feel at home. Thank you for creating such a memorable stay in Cape Town. We’ll definitely be back.
Absolutely loved my stay at Garden Retreat – Adults Only! The location is perfect—just a short drive from the airport and surrounded by a safe, peaceful neighborhood. It’s an ideal base for exploring Cape Town’s many attractions without the hassle of long commutes. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. Every detail, from the serene garden setting to the well-appointed rooms, exudes tranquility and comfort. This place truly feels like a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a relaxing, adults-only retreat with excellent service and convenience, this is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning!
Staying at Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa was a truly memorable experience. The view from the room is absolutely stunning—every morning I woke up to the endless ocean vista, and the sunsets were nothing short of magical. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, though the mattress could feel a bit soft for heavier guests. A few outlets didn’t work properly in my room, so it’s worth checking when you check in. One thing to note: the hotel doesn’t provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or disposable slippers—pack your own essentials. Breakfast has improved since last year! While still not quite catering to every taste (especially for those craving Chinese flavors), there’s now more variety than before, with fresh local options. Overall, the breathtaking coastal setting makes this place unforgettable. It’s definitely a top choice if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with nature at your doorstep. I’d absolutely recommend it—and I’ll be back.
Staying at Banksia Boutique Hotel & Spa was an absolute delight. The staff went above and beyond—waiting patiently for us even though our meeting ran late, showing incredible hospitality. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with immaculate cleanliness throughout the grounds and rooms. Every detail reflects care and attention to quality. From the serene atmosphere to the thoughtful touches in the design, it felt like a true retreat. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Cape Town. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience worth repeating.
I was warmly welcomed upon arrival, and the entire stay was incredibly pleasant. The location is perfect—just a short distance from the airport yet tucked away in a quiet, charming neighborhood. It’s an ideal base for exploring nearby destinations like Stellenbosch, with easy access and a peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality, comfort, and overall experience made this a standout choice. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a relaxing, well-located spot in Cape Town.
Jenny and Johan made us feel right at home the moment we arrived in Cape Town. They arranged a reliable driver to pick us up from the airport, which was such a thoughtful touch. The guest house is nestled in a peaceful, tree-lined suburb, just minutes away from the University, Table Mountain hiking trails, and the beautiful Botanical Gardens—perfect for exploring nature and local culture. The rooms were spotless, well-furnished, and incredibly comfortable, with a breakfast that truly stood out—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Whenever I had a question, Jenny was always happy to help, making us feel safe and welcomed throughout our stay. There are plenty of great restaurants, cozy cafes, and shops within walking distance, and the V&A Waterfront is just a short ride away. We even met other guests during our visit, and everyone shared a warm, friendly vibe. This is an exceptional value-for-money guest house, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!
