We were there for a week.
The location, owners, atmosphere, service and interior were perfect.
I loved that they have two cats living in the hotel and really felt like at home.
Quiet place. Looks like all the guests are visiting every year, so suggest to book in advance to get a good room. Ours was not big, but clean.
The hotel has a swimming pool so you can stay there for a day if it's not a beach season. Always good advise where to go from the owners or staff.
Visitors are quite diverse - young and elder couples, group of friends, families, so I cannot define it's "type" - everybody respect each other's privacy.

Warm memories and thanks to the owners and my best recommendations.

I was visiting Cape Town not for a holiday but for family reasons. From the moment I arrived at Blackheath Lodge, to be greeted cordially by Michelle, I was treated wonderfully well. Owing to a very early flight arrival from London, I couldn't yet get access to my room. It didn't matter: I was able to shower in the facility outside by the pool, change into fresh clothes and have a delicious breakfast so that when I met up with my brother I was fresh and raring to go! When I was able to get into the room, I was mightily impressed with the spaciousness, light, cleanliness and decor. Stay in a room at the top of the lodge if you can. Nothing was too much of a problem for Michelle, with her ready smile and hospitality and this extended, too, to all the staff. An unusual and very heart-warming aspect of Blackheath Lodge is the commitment that Antony and John have made to ensure that their staff and children are provided for. There is no shortage of guesthouses in Cape Town: I am delighted that I chose Blackheath Lodge.

My husband and I stayed here for the first few nights of our honeymoon, back in November, and it was perfect. The bedroom and bathroom were gorgeous, really beautifully decorated and really comfortable. All the staff were charming and extremely helpful. The breakfast was delicious, plentiful and varied and the location was excellent. The main sights and places to eat were all fairly nearby and it was always easy to get taxis. There were several additional touches which really made a difference - we arrived fairly early in the morning so could not yet access our room, but the hotel has an extra bathroom for people in that position to use, so we were able to have showers and go out and visit Cape Town straight away. When we came back later in the afternoon, our room was ready and our bags were already in it. Also I had contacted the hotel in advance as it was my husband's birthday the day we arrived, and they organised a fantastic birthday cake as a surprise for him. The other thing we really appreciated was that the staff had excellent knowledge of nearby restaurants and gave excellent recommendations based on specific requests from us.

We spend 10 days in Cape Town and loved everything. The Blackheath Lodge was very important to make this trip unforgetable...Anthony and all the people work hard to help in all you need, specially our friend Jean Claude! The breakfast is delicious! If want to go to Cape Town, you want to be there!
