I stayed at Colona Castle in May 2011 with my son. We wanted a break, visit some friends and do some sightseeing. It was the perfect spot for us. Not far from Cape Town, near Cape Point and on the way to the wine area. The road along the coast from Muizenberg to Stellenbosch is just beautiful ! There are... More

Words cannot say enough about this hotel. The interior is stunningly filled with Asian antiques, the views are breathtaking as it overlooks a large lake and also False Bay, the music softly playing sets the mood for total relaxation and decadence. The quality and attention to detail in the rooms is remarkable; the breakfasts, the gracious hospitality and assistance with... More

Needed somewhere to chill for a few days ... wonderful, warm welcoming small hotel. Highly recommend the personalised tours that can be arranged, far superior to any taken through the large hotels in the centre of Cape Town. Quiet and relaxing, but if you want to wander, you will need a car to get into Kalk Bay or Cape Town... More

Recommended by Susie Freeman Travel (the BEST for RSA and Mauritius!) and a very good recommendadtion too. Colona Castle is very stylish, has great facilities and really friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in the Chinese Suite which was very comfortable indeed - large room and bed, ensuite and private terrace. We had dinner on one night which was delicious.... More

We stayed at the Colona Castle for 10 days in October and loved every day. The hotel is located in a secluded cul-de-sac, very quiet place, easily accesible from Cape Town, Muizenberg, etc. It is lovely inside, completely private, well-decorated with wonderful antiques, the rooms are large (we basically stayed in a Chinese suite which was enourmous), the staff is...

We stayed here on our 2nd week in Capetown. Like one review said, great place but shame on location. Unless you have a car, definitely a great place to be at. Not much to do around the city its in. We were suppose to get the Zebra room, but was given the Green room for our honeymoon stay. Now it's... More

My family just returned from our stay in Africa and we were fortunate to have stayed for 4 nights at Colona Castle. It was wonderful. It kind of felt like staying at your rich aunt and uncle's house. Nicole, the owner, brings a designer's eye, attention to detail and high end service to the entire hotel. We were a little... More

This is my second extended stay in Cape Town with my daughter (3). We've stayed in the 5 star hotels, rented a villa and have stayed at Colona Castle twice now. Well, my second visit confirmed my thoughts- This is really a great place to stay! I am not too into shopping and staying in large impersonal hotels near shopping... More

Now that we are back on home soil one of my first tasks is to tell all those would be travellers just what a fantastic place Colona Castle is. When we stayed the... More
