So. Admittedly, we stayed at Cybele nearly two years ago, but I was relaying the story of our visit yesterday to a friend, and thought I should let Tripadvisor know. I'm going to start by saying it is a beautiful place to stay. The service is wonderful, the rooms are beautiful, the food was excellent. Our car broke down at... More

Service and attention to detail superb! We spent a romantic weekend at Cybele and I was impressed with the stunning accommodation and service of the staff. At all times were they friendly and helpful. The restaurant offered superb dishes and the wine list was excellent. We will definitely be back. More

Loved this place! It was like being the Berkshires, with the occasional baboon. The villa itself was perfect. The heated floors were a treat. An outside shower is always a plus in my book. Private pool was huge. The grounds were really gorgeous. The food was just ... ok. But - will go back! More

What a nice place to relax. We were upgraded to a suite with our own private pool and we enjoyed it! The suite is beautiful with enough room to house 2 couples. The surrounding is very beautiful and relaxing. We were sorry we only booked 1 night. We would certainly go back. More

We stayed here for 3 nights between Cape Town and going on safari and had an excellent stay. It is such a relaxing place with lovely tranquil surroundings. The food is a real highlight too. We stayed in a cottage with it's own heated pool, which was excellent - with a charming log fire place in a really good sized... More

Have had good and bad experience at Cybele. However during our last stay things were at their best. As usual, we stayed in the Suite 12 and we were surprised to find out that the swimming pool was heated. What a change from our previous stay in the same suite. The suite is huge and spacious with a living room... More

The warm greeting and glass of wine we received upon arrival set the tone for an unrivalled night at Cybele. The quick tour of the premises and the last minute massage they fit in for us illustrated their eagerness for us to kick back and relax after a rather labour intensive weekend. Our suite was spacious and neat as a... More
