Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Views, decor, pool, garden.....heaven on earth!
We rented the guest house in the large garden of Suzy's Constantia home in Capetown. She greeted us with a large spagetti bolognese, a lbowl of fruit and a huge smile! Charming, helpful, friendly, hospitable ( as were her two lovely dogs! ) she ensured a wonderful last few days to our SA trip. We loved the huge veranda and the pool and the beautifully decorated interiors. Book in quick before the world starts beating a path to Majini's door!

Absolutely charming, beautifully appointed and a delight from start to finish
We arrived at Majini straight from Cape Town airport, slightly tired - but 30 minutes after arriving, showered and freshened up we were totally ready for the rest of the day. Majini is so calm and relaxing that a sense of well being almost washes over you. The rooms are very comfortable and the living area is cosy with a super view. I couldnt recommend anywhere more than this. I hope we come to SA again and if so this will be, essential to our visit.

“Majic” Guest House
I have booked one of the Majini’s Cottages and me and my family got very impressed. The Cottage was extremely clean, well furnished, charming, with a very positive energy( a lot of light). When we got to the Cottage we have been hosted by Manuel(one of the employees) that have introduced us the Cottage and common areas. The Cottage is huge with plenty of space! When you get to the balcony you will understand the magic around this place. Wild birds were on the grass and you could see the fantastic swimming pool after the big field of grass! Views from different perspectives are stunning! The owner, Suzy, is very friendly and helped us with suggestions and how to get to our destinations in a better way! You can pick up fresh vegetables that Suzy grows in the gardens! I have seen some red fresh chillies but unfortunately I did not try! Suzy sad the spices were very hot☺️! We had a perfect time and I would rate this stay over 5 stars if I could! Thank you Suzy and all the crew!

Comfort and serenity at Hededa Cottage
We loved the feeling of calm and serenity of Hadeda Cottage and the grounds of Majini in general. It was beautifully equipped with everything we needed and we loved the first floor balcony which was ideal for enjoying an evening gin & tonic plus the pool for an early morning wake up dip. The property could hardly be better situated for all that Cape Town has to offer, in particular, the fantastic local restaurants and our lovely hostess, Suzy, could not have done more for us in making sure that we were comfortable during our stay

Best Guest House in Cape Town
Majini is simply the best place that I have stayed at in Cape Town. I base this on having frequently travelled to the Mother City and stayed in many different places. Suzy is a most gracious hostess and went out of her way to accommodate us and ensure our comfort. What a lovely surprise to arrive to a fridge and cupboards filled with delicious treats for the wary traveller (bare in mind this is self-catering accomodation). Suzy has a beautifully manicured garden filled with wild birds. The ducklings were a real treat. There is a pool and braai facilities are available. Our unit, The Gallery, was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. I will NEVER stay anywhere else in Cape Town!!

Heaven
I have stayed at Majini every year for 7 years and it has never dissapointed this is surely one of the best if not the best in South Africa. The owner goes out of her way to provide a fantastic service and the views are to die for. Very convenient for some of the best restaurents in Constantia.

We couldn't fault it
Previous reviewers have said it all. This self catering rental is perfect in every respect. We said this might be our last visit to Cape Town but we just want more of what Suzy serves up so we are sure we will be back. It is the ideal location for exploring all of the Cape peninsula, such a quiet and peaceful place, beautifully furnished and in lovely gardens. We thought Majini was the highlight of our holiday.

Back to this magical place
After our fist visit in December 2016 we knew we would be back. And again we had a perfect vacation. There could not be a nicer place with a more gracious and caring host. Suzy is amazing and will do everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The property is both stunning and immaculate. We will be back.

Upmarket comfort in a great location
We've stayed in many self catering places in South Africa and this was up there with the best for comfort and value in the best location for exploring Cape Town and surrounds. Suzy made us extremely welcome with a full fridge on late arrival. A very well appointed and upmarket appartment in beautiful peaceful gardens with stunning views. We had a fantastic 4 day stay with our 2 young children and would recommend to friends.
