This was our second visit to Highlands and hopefully we will return many more times. It is simply a lovely restful oasis where quality and care encompass the beautiful house and gardens, the pools, the food and the staff who work there. Carole and Jane along with their team make you feel very special, more like friends than guests, and... More

There's lots of hyperbole on review sites like this, and I strive not to add to it, so when I say Highlands is a fabulous find I mean it. Amid the increasingly brash and showy hotels and bars of Cape Town Highlands is an oasis of under-stated, old school luxury in the style of the great English country hotels. And... More

This was our first trip to South Africa and Highlands was the perfect first stop on our Garden Route tour. The location is very quiet but the centre of Cape Town is just a short drive away. We can concur with all that has been written on previous excellent reviews of this establishment. Carole and all the staff went out... More

I stayed at Highlands Country House and can highly recommend it. The staff. Are warm and friendly, the beds are super comfortable and the gardens are superb to stroll around in. Its close to Kirstenbosch Gardens and within easy reach of all tourist and business attractions. I really enjoyed my stay and thanks to Carole the owner for a lovely... More

We stayed for two nights in that beautiful country house which is located in a very safe and quiet area. You feel immediatly at home. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for doing tours to the penninsula as well to downtown or to the beaches. We will for sure book it again.

Having travelled the world for some 40 years I thought that perfection in hotels was impossible to find. Highlands meets that criteria to the extent that one really doesn't want everyone to know about this little gem. The hotel, rooms, gardens, pools, service, food and most importantly staff are of the very highest quality. Carole, the owner, and Jane the... More

Annie, my wife, and I had a delightful stay at Highlands. The hotel has been so well designed with every attention paid to the smallest detail, which coupled with the welcome and service from the owner and staff ensured that we had a wonderful time. The location is away from the bustle of the city itself so it was an... More

I am used to travel and to spend a lot of my life time in hotels due to my profession - I am a consultant. However, I have never experienced such warm and personal hospitality as at Highlands. From the first moment on, you realize you are not an anonymous guest, you are somebody who are really welcome to come... More

I can only speak highly of this wonderful boutique 5 star hotel. I spent three nights here and wish it was more. I came from one night at the Mount Nelson hotel so can directly compare it to what they offered. Highlands Country House beats the Mount Nellie hands down. Twice the value for half the price. Its worth the... More
