We stayed at Mountain Magic with our 9 year old in September. Liz and Phil could not have been more thoughtful and helpful, our stay was the highlight of the holiday. The location was ideal for us with beaches, Table Mountain and the city centre in easy reach, all with great views of Cape Town, particularly at night. Our 9... more

Concur with all positive reviews - this really is a great place to stay with friendly hosts. We know Cape Town well and this was a perfect base for us while visiting friends and old haunts. Didn't get a chance to try out the swimming pool (much too cold!) but had some beautiful bright days even in winter; contemplate Table... more

Mountain Magic is perfect for me - not fancy but comfortable, great value and well set up, in a tranquil convenient location with a nice private garden and pool and fantastic views across the bay from the Bay City Lights suite. Phil and Liz, the owners, live on the premises and are most friendly and helpful without being in the... more

A friend and I decided to try out Mountain Magic based on previous reviews - and thanks to the former guest comments, as well as our wonderful hosts, our extended stay turned out to be fantastic. The Palm Garden Suite is lovely; our favorite part was being able to work and dine in the private patio and garden that we... more

I'm not great at remembering to write reviews on places we've stayed (hence the delay in writing this one) but I've always meant to after the kind hospitality the owner showed my wife and I when we arrived in CapeTown. We were originally booked at a different apartment but this turned out to be unsafe and we had to leave.... more

Located on a quiet residential cul-de-sac, Mountain Magic provided exactly what my family was looking for - a spacious two bedroom suite for a fantastic price. Phil was the perfect host, stopping by to make sure eveything was ok and offering helpful suggestions on things to see and transport to take. Phil helped arrange a rental car and was able... more

Perfect location for a City Bowl stay with superb mountain views. Warm and friendly welcome from manager/owner Phil plus Busby the dog! Excellent all round service in a quiet corner, perfect (for a family of 4 with small children) for visiting all aspects of Cape Town or just sitting by the pool or the braai with a beer. We'll certainly... more

We were met by Phil who is the owner and also lives on the property, really friendly and enthusiastic guy who was so helpful and came up with some really good ideas and spent loads of time with us to answer all our questions about dos and don'ts in Cape Town. Our apartment was showing a few signs of wear... more

we had a short stay in the MountainMagic suites over the Argus Weekend - the restfulness and comfort of the flat made it very easy to prepare for the race and to restore our souls after the most gruelling ride in the history of the race. You won't believe it but we didn't even realise it was windy until we... more
