Makapa lodge was one of our most pleasant stays during our 17 days trip. We wished we booked more nights at this place, but unfortunately we didn't. Officially they do not allow children but our daughter was, and felt, more than welcome at Makapa lodge. The location is great and an oasis of tranquillity amongst all the busy spots in... More

We stayed here 22nd and 23rd Dec, really nice place, friendly and helpful hosts. We were very impressed with the standard of accommodation and spec. Def go back again, beautiful pool, lovely breakfasts. We had already stayed in central Cape Town, but we liked this better.

We stayed 10 days in Makapa Lodge during our trip to South Africa. It is located in a quiet setting and is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing break, as well as being in a great central location within driving distance from Cape Town and other attractions. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated. The outside temperature was... More

Amazing location on the peninsula and so convenient for all points on the Cape including Cape Town and access to the West Coast. Breakfast situation gives wonderful views and the food is plentiful and satisfying. The accommodation is immaculately clean, spacious and relaxing with everything you need. Ian and Margaret are wonderful hosts with a vast knowledge of the area... More

We sat either at a lovely pool, or in the lounge, catching up on our reading. Our hosts, Ian & Margaret were wonderful, and our... More

Makapa Lodge was fantastic! We had hired a car and found this an ideal central base for our short drives to the beaches at Fish Hoek, Kommetjie, Noordhoek, Simons Town, Boulders and Cape Point Nature Reserve. On our later than expected arrival on the 5th Januray 2011 we were given a very warm welcome by Ian and Margaret. They very... More

my stay at Makapa, at The Nest, was most pleasant and peaceful - Ian and Margaret couldn't have been friendlier and more welcoming. Wonderful views of the ocean and very comfortable accommodation. I'll definitely be back!

I was only able to stay at Makapa Lodge for one night in May, 2010, though I wish I had been able to stay for longer! I was in a poolside suite, and it was amazing! The entire suite was tastefully decorated, the bathroom was huge, and the bed was comfortable. Even though it wasn't warm enough to swim, I... More
