Ikhaya Safari Lodge

An absolutely stunning and rejuvenating stay at Ikhaya Safari Lodge. The setting is simply breathtaking, surrounded by spectacular landscapes that make you feel completely immersed in nature. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, always going above and beyond to make our stay special. Their warmth truly made the difference. The breakfasts were excellent, fresh, generous and delicious every morning. A beautiful, peaceful place we would return to without hesitation. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge, it was away from the bustling noise of the city surrounded by nature. Our room had an amazing view of the mountains. Joshua and the reception lady were so kind and helpful.

I had no idea what to expect, as I had never been to Cape Town, let alone South Africa. I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at Ikhaya. Sonja, my primary contact there, made me feel welcomed from the very beginning, and made sure I had all I needed. I only planned to stay three nights, but enjoyed myself so much that I extended my stay. Clean rooms, nice staff, good breakfast, Uber accessible, safe, etc.... I definitely would stay there again, and again! Thank you!

We stayed at Ikhaya Safari Lodge for the last 2 nights of our trip. Arriving at 11.30am we were hoping to leave our luggage whilst exploring Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens but to our pleasant surprise, our room was ready and we were able to check in. We stayed in Nyala and our friend Pumba was next door. Great terrace space as we knew each other but little privacy if not. The rooms were small but beautifully appointed and the view of the Constantia valley was fabulous. We had time for a quick game of tennis ( no charge) and the court was in good condition. The lodge is well located for the gardens, Constantia wineries and local restaurants. Would have liked time to visit Hout Bay Friday night market but as we were leaving the next day on an early flight, that will have to wait till next time. |Breakfast (200 zar pp) was excellent and a lovely setting by the pool. The outdoor seating area and boma provided a great space to relax and chat and the honesty bar was very reasonable. Just need to bear in mind that some rooms are very close to this communal space and could potentially be noisy. Also the steps down to our rooms were quite steep especially when taking luggage up and down. However, none of this detracted from the wonderful stay we had and I'd be very happy to return.

Beautiful place, feels like you are surrounded by nature, pool is nice and deep, recently updated rooms.

Excellent place to stay. Amazing views, beautiful house with lovely rooms. Well located for local eateries (you’d need a car) with a nice small pool and a well maintained tennis court, should you fancy some exercise. Breakfast was good (eventually). The only negative was the service which was rather too laid back - our “welcome” on arrival was very muted/disinterested and breakfast the next day didn’t materialise at all until we went knocking on doors to find some staff. The lady who owns the place was super-friendly though, so I hope the poor service was just a glitch.

I highly recommend this place 👌 everything about it is on point. The stuff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean. It's a good place.

What a fantastic place! The Ikhaya Safari Lodge is perfectly placed between Constantia and Houts Bay, backing onto the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in the foothills of Table Mountain. Glorious views over the Constantia winelands right across to the eastern edge of False Bay. Not bad. Accommodation consists of spacious suites (bedroom, bathroom and sitting room) and there are beautiful common areas decorated in safari style. The staff are lovely, cheerful and friendly. Breakfast on the terrace was a treat in the December sun. We loved it.
