We started with high expectations after all Cape Town has seen us often and we've stayed in many CT self caterering spots and always been happy. I have never written a negative review but the poor attitude of this owner led me to tell the truth about our experience there. Whilst I have no objections to staying in a done-over... more

Dear Trip Advisor Member, I have read your comments about our lodge on the trip advisor website and regret that you did not enjoy your stay at the lodge. I remember meeting with yourself and your partner on arrival and recall that you had had issues with renting a car because you did not book one in advance in high...
