It is a lovely little inn in a great location. Everything was great and very clean and quiet. What distinguishes HSL is the staff. They are so helpful, smiling always and kinda. A very special shout out to Jasper. He made our stay 10 times better, and it was already lovely. Lovely fresh breakfast! Thank you Jeff too for being so accommodating. We hope to stay again.

Really lovely & in a nice area. The hotel was clean & exactly as pictured. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The room was a little small, but for the price & location, you can't beat it. I would say the only thing to note is that the stairs are very steep if travelling with large bags. But, the front desk staff did help me carry my bags all the way up. I'd stay here again. All in all, a very easy, straightforward place to stay in Cape Town.

Facilities are very nice. Liked the honor bar. Breakfast was decent. Room was a bit small though and I recommend paying for a better room that does not face the inner courtyard.

Head South Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. Our Deluxe Room was spacious, well-appointed and had a lovely balcony to watch paragliders off of Signal Hill. Great amenities include a scrumptious breakfast (one of the best we had in our South Africa travels), nice open air community patio to relax after a day of sightseeing, a snack & drink honor bar that was reasonably priced and a helpful staff (Teddy was awesome), including a wonderful daytime staffmember who helped transport our bags to our 3rd floor room as there is no elevator. Location was minutes from the beach, a Hop On/Off bus pickup stop that can take you to V&A waterfront, Table Mountain, all around the city, etc. and several good restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Head South Lodge if you want to be slightly removed from the hustle & bustle of the Cape Town CBD but still be able to access everything that the city has to offer.
