146 guests' feedbackIt was absolutely stunning. Lovely place and so clean, and the host was so friendly! I love the split units in both the kitchen area and bedroom. Very needed in Upington! Would really recommend it!
Very nice. Cute place!
Was very comfortable and clean.
Definitely worth it. Excellent service.
Thank you very much for upgrading our room. It was a huge treat. We had a great time. Will definitely come again.
Very nice stay, small but very tidy, very good value for money.
Baie lekker gebly. Only challenge was we were 2, but there was only one towel in the room. And there was no water in the freezer. Apart from that, everything was fine and clean.
Thank you very much for everything, your place and service was outstanding! I hope to see you again soon.
The site itself is incredibly beautiful - it feels like you are somewhere in the Winelands. The service was great and our room was clean and tidy - with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place!
Yes, it was very peaceful.
Very nice stay. Place is clean and tidy. Parking was a problem for me though. Secure parking is offered, but guests can easily park each other.
The rooms are very small. We had a lot of luggage because a long journey and the space in the rooms is very limited. The living room also does not have enough seating for 4 people.
Fantastic stay with amazing reception.
Units are neat and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
Very nice stay, the staff are happy to help and follow up; it was a bit tight for us 4 people with the baby, but recommendable.
The room is small but adequate for a one-nighter. We found a spot under a tree to eat our evening meal, which worked well. If you want breakfast, you must book in advance.
Very nice stay. Very well cared for.
Unit had no towels. Area behind (Reception) needs attention. One bed fell in, sleep difficult.
Neat, but there were no power plugs for lamps by bedside tables and no electrical plugs for mobile phone chargers either. There was also only one towel while we were two guests.
The unit was terribly small for 4 people. I have given my review before. 1 cup for 4 people? really bad. There were too many issues with the accommodation. It looks like luxury but it is not at all.
Great overnight stop, but the room is quite cramped with little space to put things.
It was pleasant and clean. Friendly reception and helpful.
The location is right off the entrance road into Upington, and the mine trucks run all night. Other than that everything is fine!
Very small place for the high money, was however tidy and the bed sleeps well. Didn't know there wasn't a chair in the room to sit on.
Awesome! Clean, neat and secure. Friendly staff and owner. Air cons that really work.
Highly recommend The Cape Lodge, clean, neat and quiet and most importantly, good working air conditioners. Will stay there again.
We arrived very late and the hostess was waiting for us. Very friendly and slept great.
Safe, not too far to center.
We were short of a towel and struggled with the door key, but the receptionist was always available by phone.
Reception was the one positive item. The front door is broken and cracking apart. You can stand inside and look through the cracks (can be fixed for under R100.00 with brown painters mate silicon and a caulking gun - 5 minutes). Went out to supper and got back a bit late. Children wanted to shower - no towels. Fortunately, we had swimming towels with us. Wanted to relax, no DSTV operational, rebooted and tried all the normal tricks, nothing. The following morning wanted to wash dishes - no sponge, dish cloth or drying cloth. Really not the service I expected.
The single rooms only have a bed and a small fridge. There is no place to work like a small table with a chair. Perhaps other rooms were equipped with it, but it was not offered. Otherwise everything was good.
The rooms are small, as is the bathroom. But well priced for what is offered.
The facilities are great. Maintenance and upkeep not up to standard. No towels available, which were sorted out with difficulty.
We enjoyed it and the person at reception was very friendly. We will definitely book there again. Neat and very friendly service.
Very friendly, clean and tidy.
Our family is so impressed with Cape Lodge. Thank you Simone, you will definitely see us again!
Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed. The staff assisted us with everything. The coolers are just small for someone traveling far. Would love to freeze our meat. The restaurant as advertised no longer operates.
Stay was excellent! I enjoyed the silence and beauty. The Cape Lodge will definitely see me again!
Wash quickly. But it was very nice.
Really appreciated the privacy.
The Cape Lodge offers safe, tidy accommodation at a reasonable price. Friendly service and beautiful garden. Good value for money.
Overslept on the way to Kgalagadi Park. Clean and very peaceful place, excellent service.
Very nice stay. Everything was neat and in order. Will definitely stay there again. Value for money.
Rooms very small and not suitable for travelers with lots of luggage. Accommodation suitable for business trips.
Neat guest house that I would recommend. Good value for money with good location and friendly, helpful staff. Even washed one of the cars for us.
Very, very clean, space just very limited, but nice.
Had a nice time.
Very neat and clean, everything needed for a quick stop in Upington.
We were only looking for an overnight stay, but have never experienced such a limited space, yet the hospitality was exceptional.
You cannot work in your room. Too small.
The lodge looks particularly stylish and very neat from the outside. Inside one big disappointment. Rooms so small that there is not even room for suitcases! No bedside lamp is connected because contact wires do not reach contact points. For 4 guests, only two towels are provided, too little toilet paper. Only 3 seats in living area for 4 guests. Two glasses for 4 guests, too few teaspoons, etc. That said, upon inquiry some of the things were corrected, but I feel it's not up to the standard one would expect. Not the website's fault, just poor management. Also only one mirror in living area with none in bedroom or bathroom. So beautiful from outside, but inside poor although clean and tidy.
Better information can be provided on arrival such as about the wireless network. Housekeeping staff should stock up on consumables that need refilling (soap and toilet paper). If you are an early mover and late returner, services such as car washes do not really apply to you. If you prefer to drink wine from a wine glass, bring your own.
Very small rooms! There was no ashtray in the room. Not suitable for more than one person! There was only one large bath towel and one small bath towel. Only one roll of toilet paper! Is on the main road and was very noisy! Parking also a problem! Would not recommend for more than one person!
Awesome place. Very clean and modern. The accommodation was 10/10. Will definitely be staying there again.
What an awesome place. Staff friendly and very helpful. Clean and upmarket lodging. Was good staying over with our group and will do it again.
See stars.
We enjoy the location, cleanliness and safety of The Cape Lodge. We were so looking forward to the delicious breakfast they always make, but to our disappointment there was no breakfast available. We had to drive out if we wanted to enjoy breakfast. It was really a disappointment because their breakfast is top notch.
Very quiet area, although it sits on the main road there is some noise. Our apartment had everything we needed and there were also braai facilities available.
My daughter used Cape Lodge in December and recommended us to sleep there, was not disappointed. Thank you very much.
Book for breakfast. No breakfast available.
Room way too small, no place to put luggage. Hand basin pathetically small. Blinds and curtains inadequate - outside lights illuminate the room and it remains dusky. Sharp red and blue lights from TV shine directly on one's eyes and are very disturbing. Lodge too close to N14; cars and especially the trucks make noise throughout the night and it's hard to sleep.
Our family spent the night at The Cape Lodge on the way back to the Cape from the Kgalagadi. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The guest house is neat and nicely laid out but it is a great pity that the site is located right next to a major main road and the cars and trucks make an enormous noise until late at night which is very disturbing. We wanted to be well rested for the previous day's long road route, but the noise bothered us quite a bit. The guest house staff also needs to do a little better quality management because of a number of small things that were wrong such as e.g. it is a self-heating unit and there is a 2-plate stove but no pots or pans. Only 1 teaspoon for 4 persons. No soap or cloths in the kitchen. No hand wash soap or body wash soap for guests. No reception of free WiFi and the DStv didn't work - although the staff replaced the decoder after I reported it. These are all small things that bother people and which I believe the management can easily fix. It's a shame the guest house is next to a main road - because of that our family will most likely not stay there again.
Then one small request at the sink in the bathroom, we tall people would like to be able to use the mirror.
Very nice place to sleep.
We were received friendly and helpful and were able to sleep well without inconvenience after we went to buy food elsewhere. Parents with children should rather avoid pocket-sized rooms and book the larger self-catering units. The rooms are located near the main road, but our two units did not experience much noise from trucks. Walls between units have only moderate sound attenuation. Fortunately there is a bathroom in between.
Clean and tidy, but rooms not really suitable for two persons.
Room is advertised with a queen size bed. Bed was double and room was cramped I assume that's why there is no longer a queen size bed. It is advertised as a detached unit which was not detached. Shower does not have shelves for soap etc. Breakfast was delicious!
The overview for the unit we booked and paid for gives the impression that it is a luxury unit with two rooms, one with two single beds and the other with a queen size bed. It also claims an en-suite bathroom with a shower. There is only a double bed and no en suite, only a bathroom with shower in the unit. This unit is so small and cramped that there is not even room to put a single suitcase down in the rooms. There is room for 4, but only seating for 3 in the small living room. There is no mirror of any kind in the bedrooms and only a mirror in the living room. It's located right next to the busy N14 and very noisy. It was very uncomfortable and unpleasant to be 4 people in this "luxury family unit". There is also no breakfast or dinner offered in the dining room of the reception room.
I must have looked wrong, thought it was self care. I wasted my money.
Was pleasantly surprised with friendliness and how clean and tidy unit was. The air conditioning was a plus in the very hot weather. Unfortunately could not eat breakfast which was recommended due to load shedding, so I can recommend that the resort acquires a gas stove. Staff very friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed it. Reception was friendly, room was cool, I slept well. My only suggestion would be that they serve some rusks along with the early morning coffee.
From friendly and professional reception to extremely neat accommodation. The stay at The Cape Lodge was a particularly positive experience. Would recommend without a doubt.
The house we stayed in was very neat and clean. The lodge is very clean outside and has a nice atmosphere. There was plenty of space for us 3 adults. The beds sleep comfortably. There is a mini stove, but no pots or pans were provided so we had to go for breakfast at their restaurant. They forgot to provide toilet paper and we also had to ask for dish soap.
Very neat and safe. Wonderful experience away from the house.
Lovely, very clean, friendly.
We were travelling to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, and arrived at the lodge after 20:00. We were welcomed by a very friendly and professional lady, after which she accompanied us to the unit. The chalet was clean, linen and towels white, fitted with the necessary crockery, coffee station and a small fridge. Secure parking for vehicle. In my opinion, good value for money. The Cape Lodge can be recommended for a good night's sleep.
The family unit was very neat and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
Very neat, just a bit small for a family, 100% for overnight. Excellent customer service, free car wash a bonus!
Accommodation was neat, clean and peaceful. Cooking and braai facilities are available, but there's no kitchen ware to use.
We were 2 people and in the room was only one towel, no toilet paper, no shampoo, one small flat bar of soap, no chair or bench for luggage. Parking does not work. I would only recommend the room for one person.
Good place to stay and value for money.
Rooms were neat although very small. Would have liked WiFi too. Otherwise very good.
We stayed 1 night and rooms were very clean and tidy. Good value for money. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend and stay there again myself.
Enjoyed a very nice overnight stay.
Very neat overnight-stay and everything was clean and in working order. The breakfast was delicious!
Thanks for a peaceful evening!
Pleasant clean and tidy place. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend The Cape Lodge anytime for an overnight option.
A very neat place an overnight. Just quite small rooms but still a beautiful, neat place.
We will definitely stay overnight at The Cape Lodge again.
Book at Cape Lodge again when we returned from our Namibian tour. Pleasant stay, friendly and helpful lady at reception.
We booked this as an overnight stop on our way to Namibia, on arrival the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.
It was awesome to stay there. Very clean, organised and neat place. Will go back anytime. Thank you very much.
Skoon, netjies, vars, alles in 1 eenheid. Ons het heerlik gebly, sien julle volgende jaar weer!
Will recommend this place for all my friends.
It is a really beautiful place and you get a lot of luxury for little money. The management is super friendly and helpful.
Kan Cape Lodge definitief aanbeveel. Verblyf en ontbyt heerlik!
Very pleasant. Stayed at The Cape Lodge. Very clean and tidy and well equipped units. Stay was very pleasant.
I only missed a mirror in the bedroom, and the vanity in the bathroom was a bit low. But otherwise it was lovely accommodation and we had a great stay.
We recommend Cape Lodge to any travellers.
We spent one night at the Cape Lodge. The unit has a small living room and kitchen, bathroom with shower, and two bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two single beds). The unit was clean and tidy. The whole lodge is beautiful, with well kept gardens and space to hang out outside. Highly recommend.
Stayed here for a night and was pleasantly surprised to see my car being washed early in the morning.
Excellent reception and ongoing service whilst there. Good value for money, neat and comfortable.
Rooms well equipped, service fast and had a delicious breakfast. Everything you need for an overnight stay. There was even a friendly guy to wash your car!
Would like better DStv channels eg. Just look. Everything very clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful.
The place was comfortable. I will book a bigger room next time as I often need to work after hours. Otherwise the service was excellent and the accommodation was neat, tidy and good value.
Very neat place. We had the smallest room, but the manager showed us a bigger one. Very satisfied with the service. Will definitely make use of them again.
Surprising! Beautiful! Neat and clean! Private! Value for money! Friendly reception and service.
Was very kindly received and staff were very helpful. The air conditioning in each room was definitely a plus in the bloody heat.
Just the kitchen is not well-equipped, no shower door in one house, we felt the other houses were open, but they put us in a place without a shower door.
Very neat, good location, ideal overnight spot.
Please visit. Neat and clean. Before we left the next morning, our car was washed.
Neat, clean and pleasant to stay over.
Friendly and helpful reception. Other guests were very noisy which disturbed night rest.
We selected the economic option with the booking, unaware that it is a single room with a double bed.
The only suggestion I have is that there could be a towel for each guest - two towels between 4 people is a bit tight. Furthermore, the accommodation and facilities were neat.
The Cape Lodge was our last stop on a 9 day tour. It is simply a bed with a shower. Very small and no self-catering facilities. There was only one towel, and no door or shower mat. It simply cannot be compared at all to any of the other places we have stayed. We were really very disappointed.
Absolutely a place to recommend for travelers.
Convenience is doubled with TV and fridge, delicious breakfast, everything was just right!
It is very nice to be able to unpack in a cozy destination after a long and tiring drive. The private outdoor garden makes the stay even more enjoyable. Thanks to the diligent car washer, we were even able to continue our journey in a clean car - that was definitely a bonus!
The one problem is that there was no information about all the attractions of the area and I had to pay for breakfast. Please confirm that it was sleeping or breakfast. If not, let the client know that it may also have a negative impact on a person's stay. We will use you again.
Beautiful and neat accommodation. Staff also very friendly. Unit is just tiny on the inside.
Stunning place. Very neat and highly recommended to anyone. Will definitely go back.
Very cute units, just way too small for two people staying more than one night. Little room is literally 2.5 x 2.5.
We slept very well. Although our room was a bit small, it was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend The Cape Lode.
Good value for money. Neat rooms and friendly staff.
Stay was very nice, service was great, room is very clean and spacious, parking was safe. Will stay there again. Breakfast was very nice.
Unfortunately will not overnight there again. Management was not there and there was no service.
Excellent location, service and would want to stay there again.
Thank you to The Cape Lodge for a great week! Thank you for the delicious breakfast every morning. Highly recommended!
Feel free to see the stars.
Thanks to The Cape Lodge, you were great! Thank you very much for the extra mile you walk without even having to ask!
Rooms are a bit cramped, but otherwise very neat and clean. Maybe put a mirror in the room to be able to blow dry hair. Maybe burglar bars in front of windows that open.
This was our second overnight stay at The Cape Lodge. Service is excellent and we can strongly recommend them. Thanks to The Cape Lodge.
The Cape Lodge is a very pleasant guest house for me because you get a lot of value for money, especially since we often have to spend the night in Upington. Unfortunately I could not enjoy my evening's stay due to work commitments, but my husband stayed overnight and was very impressed with the good service, cleanliness and friendliness of The Cape Lodge management and staff. We will definitely visit again! Thank you very much for your excellent service.
I would like to suggest that provision is made for a 2-point plug to be able to charge mobile phones.
Friendly and hospitable reception. The room is a bit cramped but ok just for the night. The service was excellent and the breakfast was delicious.
Friendly and hospitable reception, real value for money! Will definitely stay there again.
Extremely comfortable and well equipped units. The car wash in the morning was a pleasant surprise. The proximity to the main road makes it convenient, but if you are used to quiet nights, the traffic can be disturbing. All reason why I didn't give it full marks for location.
Very professional and organized. Lovely overnight accommodation.
The rooms are very cramped for two people and there are also no fridges in all the rooms.
Small but pretty. Everything and the air conditioning was wonderful in the heat. Good service and I recommend it.
The place is only suitable for one person. The place is neat and Louw was very helpful and friendly. I paid R100 more for a deluxe room, but was very disappointed. Planned for 2 nights but only stayed one night. No table and no space. Whatever you want to do you have to do on the bed. No place for a suitcase or to sit, other than on the bed. They will have to make the room bigger.
