The hotel was recommended to me by a family friend. She knew I was going to Cape Town for a week on Business, and wanted me to be comfortable. I called up and the owner matched my rate for the other hotel (a business hotel down town) so I would be able to stay with Head South. The location is... More

I stayed here with work for 3 weeks. I have never been more comfortable or so well looked after in any other hotel. The staff are exceptional, decor is quirky and cool, the hospitality is second to none. This is the place to stay and I hope to get back there one day

After a 11-hour flight, we arrived past midnight to find a written note welcoming us. The next morning I was greeted with, "you must be Janna... welcome." My husband and I travel 1-2 times per month and have stayed at all sorts of accommodations, though we have never experienced such authentic hospitality as we did at Head South Lodge. Jeff,... More

I booked Head South based on a recommendation of friends of ours who had stayed there about five years ago. This was one of my best pre-trip moves. The staff are knowledgeable about what to see, what not to miss, and how to get there concerning not just Cape Town, but much of the Western Cape. Jeff, the owner/manager, offers... More

The Inn is on Main Road, Greenpoint. Easy access to the beaches and to waterfront/city center. Great staff: they know everything about Cape Town - where to go, what to do. They go out of their way to arrange tours and make you feel home. The rooms, however, are claustrophobic. No external windows, about 10 - 12 sq. meters. It's... More

We loved our stay at Head South. The staff were incredibly pleasant and helpful. I went walking with the owner's wife nearly every morning - a highlight of the trip! I'm not sure if I've ever slept in a more comfortable bed, a particularly glowing comment given that I was pregnant at the time. We also found the location great... More

Head South Lodge offered great bedrooms, a lovely lounge and nice space to sit outside for a post dinner drink. The bathrooms however are not as great as they look online. Breakfasts were good, but did not live up to the high standard we had elsewhere in south africa. Some of the staff were absolutely amazing and really friendly.

I missed the Lodge, staff and the world’s most comfy bed from the moment I left. It was like a cosy little home to me. I can’t say enough good things about Jeff, Janine and Rimona, some of the best people I have ever met. So kind, helpful and very accommodating. I will be recommending Head South to everyone going...

Thanks for the "full house" review. Very kind to my staff and myself. The remark about the beds has been made so often. Guests have said they have slept better at Head South than in their own beds at home. It was a good investment to have tested and bought such good beds. Thanks for the recognition. Kind regards Jeff... More
