It was centrally located with killer views of table mountain. Everything you need is within walking distance and if you need to go a little further, Cape Town has Uber or even taxis. There are restaurants and museums right next door. If you like to party, the famous long street is a 15 minute walk!

The owner Ruth and receptionist are the warmest hosts ever! Great conversation and expansive suggestions about where to go in Cape Town. The entire lodge is very warm and decorated with Afrocentric artwork. The room was also cozy and homely. We had an excellent overnight stay at IKhaya and would definitely return!

Cape Town, My 2nd Time Around

We were looking for a clean safe place and area to stay. Found It!!! Rustic, Authentic, Friendly lodge. We wanted to "Rough It" without going to the wilderness. iKhaya is just the place to get that type of feeling. There's a restaurant right across the parking lot that offers a lot for the persons in your group that needs a bit of night lift. The food is truly out of this world.

Lovely lodge

Lovely lodge decorated in traditional African decor. Second floor rooms have an enclosed balcony with a sliding door; third floor rooms have an open balcony. No elevator, but the stairs are minimal and easy to navigate. Close to Company's Garden and a 10-15 minute walk to Long Street. Staff very professional and accommodating. Free breakfast, but I didn't eat, so can't comment on it. Free computer for guests to use.

Nice hotel, cute, nice area

The hotel had a very nice "lodge" type feeling. The staff was constantly present and looking to make life easier. They lent me, free of charge, multiple adapters for my phone and computer (mine didn't work), and were happy to accommodate any requests, such as Kosher breakfast, late check-in, and leaving my bags after check-out for the last day before picking them up on the way to the airport.

Positive: Totally loved this place. We stayed here 5 nights. The location is good - still within walking distance to main tourist spot, very close to big park. We had great view of table mountain from our balcony. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was also good. Neutral: Room was small, but still ok for a couple for 5 days.

The hotel was in a pretty good location, in walking distance of the city centre. There were some great spots to eat right nearby as well, I highly recommend Maria's! The staff were friendly and helpful, and while the rooms were a little small they were comfortable, and ours included a nice balcony with views of Table Mountain. The breakfast included cereal, pastries etc and you can order eggs and meats off the menu as well. We would definitely stay again!

Ikhaya Lodge centrally placed

Ikhaya staff was very friendly. The place is based in a very central location. You have all the basics that you need for a business trip. Perhaps they could put in a work desk.
