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.

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.

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.

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.
