On our recent South African holiday, my wife, myself and our two friends wanted to book 2 rooms for 5 nights at Blackheath Lodge. However, although we were nearly 3 months ahead of our travel date, we were only able to get 1 room for 3 nights, and our friends had to stay elsewhere. True, are holiday was in January,... More

On arrival we were greeted by Antony who welcomed us with tea and biscuits on the lovely veranda overlooking the pool. He advised us on how to find our way around and must see places to visit. Michelle and the whole team were incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and Marnie cooked... More

I enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at the Blackheath Lodge in February/March 2011. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe this wonderful oasis of tranquility and civility. All I can say is make sure you visit this wonderful guest house and find out for yourself. More

Not the big plastic international - small, Informal, quiet, personal, friendly, all the little touches that tick the boxes and can't do enough to make your stay enjoyable.

We arrived very early off the flight from London and wondered what we'd do whilst we waited for our room to be ready. However on arrival we were offered breakfast, refreshments and shower changing facilities and made to feel most welcome. When we got our room we were really surprised as to how comfortable and homely it felt. Lots of... More

There is jolly well NOTHING bad to say about Blackheath Lodge. Compared with the chilly banality of a 5-star hotel, this place is heaven on earth...stylish, personal, sophisticated, warm and convenient and liberally sprinkled with interesting guests but with none of the hokey, stifling over-intimacy of your usual B&B. Our room was excellent - upstairs, spacious and with its own... More

We stayed at Blackheath at the beginning of an18 day tour of Cape Town and the Garden Route, and it was a brilliant start to the tour. We arrived early in the morning at Cape Town airport and were picked up by a car and driven to the Lodge with a commentary of the areas we were travelling through. We... More
