Such a lovely stay and welcome to Cape Town! We arrived off a long flight and were greeted with breakfast & friendly smiles. We were even surprised with a room upgrade for the first 2 nights of our stay. Rooms were super comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and staff was super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend a stay here!

While the room was slightly small, it was furnished beautifully and extremely functional. The bathroom was a good size and comfortable. I liked having coffee on the small patio connected to the room. Breakfast was outstanding but the best part of our stay was the extremely helpful staff at every level.

This was our 3d stay with Blackheath and this was the best ever. Karen upgraded us to the Villa Lauren which was spectacular! Hamad took us to the Botanical Gardens and then lunch at Groot Constantia winery which couldn’t have been better. Then back to the lodge for pool time.

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were welcomed and felt at home. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Directions and guidance were given about day trips and safety. Our room was amazing and had everything we needed. If we are able to come back to beautiful Capetown, we will stay here again!

I highly recommend Blackheath Lodge. Excellent, professional and friendly customer service. By the time you leave, you feel as though you’ve stayed with friends. The loft room is spacious and yet feels cozy. The substantial breakfast is delicious and the chocolate cake and treats always left out to enjoy a special touch. Cannot wait to return!

We are two 70-year-old women who felt carefully cared for and attended from start to finish. Godfrey and the other amazing people who work there knew what we needed before we knew. Their recommendations for dining and tours were the best we could imagine. The breakfasts were better than any restaurant we went to. The Lodge is cozy, warm (a must for us!), clean, and had the sweetest coffee and tea arrangement in the room.

The staff are super helpful and welcoming, breakfast delicious, refurbished rooms lovely and able to walk to many restaurants/shops happily during the day. The bar area is quite small so when there are parties travelling together you can be made to feel an imposter. Pool area is shaded which may suit some people. As yet there is no provision for load shedding but they are working on this. I still rate this 5* as it is exactly as described, I would definitely return.

Ok men dyrt

Gammal stil på inredning och många gamla par som bodde där. Myror på toaletten. Dyrt i Sydafrika för vad man får. Inte bra läge, långt till stranden och i detta område inte mysigt. Måste åka taxi till stränderna.

This was an amazing place to stay during our time on Cape Town. The main thing that stands out is the staff, they are helpful beyond measure and will go above and beyond, with enthusiasm and personality. They genuinely care about their guests and will do whatever they can to help, including assisting in itineraries and bookings. From the security who helps you in the evening, to the guys that cook and serve you breakfast, to the gardener, to the guys that clean the room and front of house who became like friends were absolutely excellent!!! Other things to mention: great location, parking, great breakfast, all day tea/coffee and cake, great rooms...wouldn’t hesitate staying here again, they made the trip! and to top it off they found out it was my birthday and went to the effort to bring out cake and sing (with incredible voices) thank you again (thanks G and K we won’t forget your daily assistance)
