It looked so promising from the website and online presence but it lacked finesse, cleanliness and the care and attention to make this accommodation a worthy contender for your spend and time in South Africa. Our room was tired with a bathroom door handle about to fall off, a kettle lid that couldn’t open, old quality streets on the tea tray, a lack of teabags but loads of sweeteners, dirty edges along the floor surfaces and dusty pictures with notable dirt hand marks on the curtains.  We received a rather surly greeting on arrival as we announced our name which did warm after a few moments and our warming smiles. 

We were here for a very fleeting visit but at no point had any direct contact with the owner or a manager, and wondered if anyone actually cared about us. 

We had to leave at 7 am to head to the airport and mentioned this on check in and was offered no option for an early breakfast, or even a croissant to-go or a suggestion of what might be accommodated. We didn’t ask, and possibly would have declined but thanked them for being kind. 

This place feels like it could have been amazing at some point, vibrant with stories to tell and a warmth to share but we didn’t have that experience which was a great pity.

Not for us

Set in a lush hillside, Ikhaya Safari Lodge was an unforgettable stay. From the time we checked in, the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast on the balcony with the view was so relaxing. Decor is in keeping with its name. It's an easy drive from the airport, close to a lot of restaurants, Wineries n the Royal Botanic Gardens. We would love to come back. 

Unforgettable, Relaxing n Welcoming

Ikhaya was lovely !  A real escape from the hustle of Cape Town city centre, peaceful, luxurious with a wonderful hostess who brought me a glass of wine in the boma which had a spectacular view over False Bay.   I'll certainly be back, hopefully for more days next time.

Slice of Heaven tucked against the mountain

The atmosphere was exceptional the staff was very welcoming and accommodating we enjoyed our say well for a swim in a clean pool the place was breathtaking and their mouthwatering food the rooms were perfectly prepared 

Place to hide away from streets

Very night nice stay. Large and elegant African style rooms/suites. An delightful environment close to nature. Manager Käthr is very nice and did her best to accommodate our late arrival and respond to our needs of transportation. A place you would like to stay for a few days rather than just one night. Good value for the $.

African paradise close to nature

The accomodation is impeccable, but the service was outstanding. I forgot my camera in my lodge and few days after returning to Belgium, I got a package from Ikhaya with my lost gear. Awesome service and a beautifull place to stay!!

No brainer to book a stay at Ikhaya

We loved our stay at Ikhaya - the best views ever, nice rooms, and wonderful and friendly service. The breakfast was so beautiful I didn’t want to eat it! (But I did and it was delicious). Constantia is a magical area and this was really superb value. Can’t recommend enough!

Gem in Constantia

A gem of a find , beautiful setting , great host and support staff . The breakfast are 5 star at very reasonable prices for the quality and choice provided . Spotless rooms and communal areas . Nothing too much trouble .
My only regret is not choosing one of the suites as my husband and i like space , but for a short  stay our room was very very comfortable . Don t  stay anywhere else if you  want a touch of class in an intimate setting with a great breakfast ! 

Understated Luxury

Excellent stay. Its all in the details and Kate made us feel at home the very first second. Allways with good tips at hand. Very tastefull rooms and decorations. Beautifull view and good spot to explore the surrondings by car or have a walk in the table mountain park

Best Host!

This beautiful lodge, with lovely grounds, looks over the vineyards below. The room decor throughout the lodge is pleasing. The bed was VERY comfortable and the night was quiet; a winning combination. Our hostess, Kathe, is passionate about Cape Town and was keen to give us tips on where to go, what was a must see location and where to eat. The food in Cape Town is a gastronomic treat! The breakfast at the lodge was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We were able to eat on the patio overlooking the stunning views. Kathe and her staff made us feel very welcome and cared for.
