Great & Lovely Lodge in Cape Town

A beautiful and cosy lodge with nice rooms and garden. The owners are very nice and you feel welcome with dogs and cats that the kids will love. Ideal for a family. Amazing breakfast and fresh product. The lodge is in Rondebosch, a beautiful green area only 15 minutes from center of Cape Town. Definitely a great place to stay.

An Exceptional B&B in Cape Town

This is a superb B&B in Rondebosch, Cape Town. We received a warm welcome from Vanessa and were shown to a delightful room looking onto a small garden. We had secure off road parking and were served the most delicious breakfasts during our 5 days stay there. The staff were great with Helen being particularly helpful with our laundry. Highly recommended.

Comfortable Stay

Comfortable bed and breakfast in Rondebosch. Friendly hosts, comfy beds, great breakfast, good location with an easy walk to restaurants, Wi-Fi worked well. I would come back to stay again when I next visit Cape Town.

Wonderful experience

To me its all about the attention to detail. From having milk in the fridge when you arrive to making you feel like you are in your own home. It is centrally located and a dream for business and pleasure, making the booking was a breeze and upon arrival Vanessa made sure everything was in place. The staff is so professional and friendly. I will easily recommend this little gem.

The Extra Mile

What an amazing three nights spent at Sandown Lodge. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the breakfast was divine. Special mention must be made of the goddess Hellen who went the extra mile to make sure every need of mine was taken care of.

Lovely Stay

Stayed for a second time, just as nice. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is filling with plenty to choose from. The location is ideal for both Cape Town central and the airport being about a 10 minute drive from both. It is also easy walking distance to Newlands cricket ground. Will definitely return, next time we in Cape Town.

Beautiful

Sandown Lodge is a beautiful home, set in a beautiful garden, in a very central location. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The host and staff were friendly and welcoming.

Perfection

Could not have asked for better. Perfect.

Hotels are mostly similar, but this lodge/b&b had class. Built in 1865, big rooms, upmarket. The area is quiet. As for the breakfast, you get treated like a King! Gives you a country side feeling

Lovely Spacious Room

Lovely big room with more than enough space in a beautiful tree'd garden setting.

The host was friendly and helpful and served a delicious breakfast.

Great location for our needs. Will definitely stay here again.

We were received by very friendly and helpful Shirley.
Rooms are furnished with lots of charm and love, very nice
garden with nice seating under an old oak tree. Quite location
in the suburbs. Taxi easily accessible. Minor restrictions due to
power outages that affect the whole area. LED lamp is always ready,
breakfast was never affected.
We would love to come back!

We had such a great stay at Sandown Lodge. Shirley took such good care of us.

Lovely big room, very clean and well presented, comfortable bed, bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Great breakfast, well cooked and plentiful. Vanessa, Shirley and everyone were very friendly and helpful with any queries or help that was needed. Great base for visiting Newlands (cricket ground is a 10 minute walk). Easy access from the airport and into Cape Town, both about 15 minute drive. Lovely safe neighbourhood with good restaurants nearby.
Safe private parking. Will stay there again when we visit Cape Town.

A wonderful B and B! A truly delightful place to stay, beautifully decorated,spotlessly clean and
very comfortable.
The icing on the cake was Shirley, who went above and beyond to make our stay happy. She greeted us like old friends and nothing was too much trouble. She cooked us a delicious and varied breakfast and kindly ordered a taxi to the airport.
I would high recommend staying here.
