We spent two nights at Ikhaya and it seems that a lot of effort went into the decor etc, however it is a little tired now and needs a good dose of TLC. Rooms hot with no fans or aircon- no top sheet to sleep under just a heavy douvet. Breakfast unexciting - bowl of fruit salad with a carton... More

This was an amazing place to stay and at a perfect location. You could look down on Cape Town. It was so quiet and clean. Cheryl is the best host. She made so much food every morning and it was really good. One of the best places we ate in South Africa. It's really a shame the don't operate it... More

This B&B was special. The rooms were divided into lounge area and bedroom area which was useful. The french doors opened onto a patio area with views to die for. The swimming pool area was well appointed and the pool itself was fine. On the main terrace where breakfast was served there was an "Out of Africa" seating area. Breakfast... More

Cherryl is a superb host and made the best breakfasts on our stay in 8 different locations in S Africa. The fruit platter is worthy of a 5 star hotel and her daily freshly baked scotch pancakes are to die for. The location is ideal for visiting both Constantia and the centre of Cape Town. The "Zebra" room we stayed... More

Stayed at this hotel unfortunately for one night the day we got married!! Should have stayed longer!!! We were well looked after! The hotel's decor was unforgetable, not to mention the great views. We stayed for a night before we went off on our honeymoon. Clean and comfortable lodge, great value for money. Cheryl the owner was wonderful and welcoming!... More

Well, for one thing it provided a great welcome, and by black Africans -- which we had missed. Great, warm smiles and personability. The owners also have a lodge in Kenya. The location is excellent, just literally a few minutes from the Holocaust Museum corner of the Gardens, which means 15 minutes to the Medi-Clinic on Hof Street or the... More

The staff were great and very helpful, but the rooms are terribly small with no air conditioning, which is horrible during the summer! More

I discovered the Ikhaya Lodge from a small reference in an American travel magazine. It definitely is a great buy. It gives you the feel of a safari accomodation without leaving the city. It is in a wonderful location on a hidden courtyard with a handful of good restaurants nearby. You are also walking distance to the Planet Bar at... More
