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.

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!

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)

A lovely old Victorian house converted into an attractive boutique style hotel. A chilled out feel with great attentive service. Breakfast was excellent with a view over the pool. Central location with easy parking for our rental car next to the hotel. I jogged down to the beach promenade where there is an outdoor gym and even outdoor swimming pools pretty close. Would like to have spent more than 2 nights there. Would recommend this hotel.
