I had the repeat pleasure of staying once again in September & October 2011 at The Stables in Constantia which is superbly run for guests' pleasure by Lola & Rick Bartlett. All the rooms are en suite and away from the main reception in manicured gardens with a small heated swimming pool. Bedrooms have TV and Wifi; a small kitchenette... More

We spent the first 4 nights of our 3-week South African holiday with Lola and Rick, and we really couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the country. We opted for the pretty Constantia area rather than staying in CT itself and this was a wonderfully relaxing decision - Constantia Stables is buried in trees and shrubs and could... More

If you want the real Cape experience - stay here. The owners, Rick and Lola are the salt of the earth type of folks who cannot do enough to make your stay memorable. Happy hour with Rick's fine Cape wines is not to be missed. The gardens and rooms are fabulous and the whole place screams relax at the weary... More

My wife and I along with two daughters (20's) and one friend recently visited the The Stables. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. Rick and Lola the resident owners are real characters and gave us their insight into the country having lived there for 40 or more years. Their place is charming, comfortable,... More

What an amazing start to our trip around SA. Rick, Lola, Miss Molly and Syndie (the 2 friendly family dogs) instantly made us feel part of the family. The Stables is located in the naturally beautiful area of Constantia. Constantia lies at the heart of the Cape Town conurbation and, because of the easy roads, it is possible to see... More

My husband and myself have been going to The Constantia Stables for many years but I never written a review so here we go: The Stables are located in what I think is probably one of the most beautiful areas in Cape Town, Constantia. You are surrounded by vineyards and restaurants of outstanding quality. You can access all areas in... More

Lola and Rick are impeccable hosts and welcome their guests like long lost friends. Nothing is too much trouble. They think of everything and your stay is peppered with many thoughtful touches, be it suggesting (and then booking) a recommended restaurant (and making sure you get a good table), hosting complimentary drinks at sun down for the guests or allowing...

I have stayed in many B&B's all over the world, but I have never experienced the hospitality and warm welcome I received from Rick & Lola at the Stables. The accommodation is really lovely. Rustic, comfortable, quiet and authentic. The staff who looked after the rooms were the best.... Each day the bedding and towels were changed. The carpets cleaned... More

Lovely peaceful location, comfortable accomodation, but most of all Rick and Lola were perfact hosts. We stayed in Lily's Cottage, a 2 bedroom cottage in the beautiful gardens at Constantia Stables, for 3 nights. The accomodation was very comfortable and a good size for us as a family of four. The breakfasts were great and Rick and Lola were always... More
