"Excellent property, staff was great, and the cosmopolitan at the bar was the best ."

"Avoid this hotel. I had a terrible experience here. My Bose earphones were stolen from my room, and they were not left out in the open — they were buried inside my fanny pack, which was inside my duffel bag. Someone clearly went through my personal belongings. I also found my things shuffled around in a way that made it obvious my bag had been opened. That is a massive violation of privacy and a serious security issue. The hotel’s handling of the matter only made things worse. Instead of taking real accountability, the response felt slow, evasive, and dismissive. Based on my experience, I do not trust the safety of personal belongings in this hotel. I would absolutely not recommend staying here."

"Great location easy to go arround, clean and feel safe"

"Do NOT stay here. The “hut” was ridiculously tiny and claustrophobic barely enough space to stand, let alone move around comfortably as two adults. There was zero storage, so we were forced to live out of our suitcases for the entire stay. It was miserable and exhausting. While the property looked somewhat maintained, it was overrun with cats everywhere you turned. The pool was completely inaccessible the whole time. The bar area, which should have been a relaxing spot, was disgusting because a cat was parked on the counter every single day like it owned the place. The mini-bar setup was shady and completely unprofessional. No prices listed anywhere they just charged whatever they wanted for whatever you drank. It felt sketchy and unregulated. They advertise breakfast, but not a single meal was ever served. We had to leave the property and pay for food every single day, which added even more expense to this already terrible stay. On our very last day they suddenly cut the water off to our hut with zero warning. We couldn’t even use the bathroom. When we complained, they casually said they needed to “get a plumber.” Of course, the water had been working perfectly fine until that morning, and it was running everywhere else on the property except our room. It was incredibly inconvenient and felt intentional. For international travelers especially do your research! The ridiculous nightly rate we paid could have easily gotten us a proper apartment with a full kitchen for much less"

"It was wonderful! Lovely staff and view! "

"Great stay! Check-in was efficient, staff were friendly. The room was comfortable and clean."

"I cannot begin to express the level of hospitality the staff has spills upon me. They were thorough, kind, informative and I’ve already recommended them to friends and relatives who will be making their way to Cape Town within the next month or so. "

"Whilst these rooms are effectively student accommodation and (in my case at least) the bathroom is shared by two rooms, they are excellently appointed and comfortable. They have good internet, parking, a great buffet breakfast, charming grounds, perfect for a day or two. Really helpful staff and all very clean and modern - they even have kitchen facilities. "

"We spent 3 excellent nights at the Afton Safari Lodge. We had a large room with a sitting area, small refrigerator, and large bathroom. The bed and room were very comfortable and nicely decorated. But what really made our stay was the owners, Tony and Marieka. From the time we arrived, they made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was plentiful and good. We opted for the yogurt, fruit muesli, etc. Marieka also booked us a table for dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant. The food was excellent. We stay there again if we return to Cape Town."
