Nice small but comfortable room. Had parking problems because of no guest parking spaces and wifi did not reach our room. Otherwise, great service at the hotel and restaurant! Also it is right next to the Park!

We stayed here on 25 Dec 2012. I booked a week before and was happy to get a night here at such late notice. We arrived late and, although there is no late checkin as the lodge is not staffed at night, an arrangement was made for us to access our room after 8pm. Fortunately being summer, it was still...

Clean and comfortable rooms and daily fresh towels. Lovely staff. The restaurant (and the staff) was fabulous and the food was amazing! We had daily breakfasts there and also had lunch and dinner- all fabulous food with generous servings. During our stay, the penguins were running around and were quite vocal and protective of their young although this didn't bother... More

Good place for stay near Cape of Good Hope. Our room had got no view but small garden. Sometimes penguins visit this small garden. İt was surprising for us to see cute penguins very close to our room. Food was good enough, there was a lot of resturants near the hotel. But it was difficult to find a taxis and... More

The selling point for this hotel is the location which is amazing, we were in courtyard room 11 which had a penguin nestng right outside, our 4 year old was so excited. the rooms are very tired, and we had to ask for a fan as one wasn't provided and it was hot! Service in the restaurant friendly but very... More

Perfect place to stay after driving from Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope - and then we headed to wine country the following day. The penguins are a short walk away. The restaraunt was very good (we had dinner in addition to the yummy breakfast that was included with our room). The staff was very accommodating. We had... More

Great location. Terrible hotel. In-room fridge is a Coca Cola fridge. It hums all night but the back lit Coke signage fills the room with a bordello red glow, a nightlite bonus! We had five rooms. One had no hot water. One had no electricity in the bedlights, just a ceiling light. The room had the charm of a prison... More
