Charming hotel in great part of town
This place is a great find. Simple but spotlessly clean room, friendly staff, a delicious breakfast - and a really good price too. Definitely to be recommended.

What a gem 💎
It was amazing. Room was clean and spacious. Lisa and Xharmie took great care of us. We were treated like family. Breakfast was tasty and Xharmie confirmed our excursions. I would definitely return and share this gem with friends and family. It's located at the base of Table Mountain and just a short uber ride to Waterfront.

home from home
The lodge was really a home from home. Lisa, the house keeper was attentive and friendly and the coffee was sublime. The breakfast in the Tuscan style courtyard encouraged interaction with other guests without feeling pushed. Walking distance to many Cape Town attractions. We will stay again, but in one of the rear rooms as the road side room is close to a junction, on a hill and so a little noisy.

lean and comfortable
Ruth and her staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and property is very clean. Located close to restaurants and cafes. Area felt a little suspect although we were assured it was safe to walk for our evening meal which we did on one evening. We did see empty liquor bottles littering the sidewalk, so didn’t feel overly safe walking after dark. Property is comfortable but could do with a bit of a refresh.

Hi Margaret! Many thanks for taking the time to review the Lodge. I am very sorry you did not feel overly safe walking after dark, but would like to assure you - and other potential guests that we are located in a safe area and most guests have felt comfortable with the short stroll to the restaurants (as I do!). I am so pleased you found the Lodge comfortable and enjoyed our breakfasts. Hopefully you will pay a return visit. My best wishes Ruth

Received a warm welcome from Ruth who gave us lots of tips and what to do. The hotel is in a nice location with good restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good and served on the small terrace everyday.

Short drives to waterfront, Atlantic coast, table mountain. Owner was onsight daily and always had great recommendations. Great view from the upstairs balcony. Overall really good value for the money and I would go back.

Charming guest house
Liberty Lodge is a charming guest house situated close to Cape Town centre. The owner is delightful and is helpful with suggestions about seeing Cape Town. Her staff are warm and welcoming. We were provided with a beautiful home cooked breakfast each morning. Our room was spacious, clean and tidy with a comfortable bed. I highly recommend Liberty Lodge as a place to stay if visiting Cape Town.

Great B&B in Nice Location of Cape Town
We had a great stay at the Liberty Lodge. The lodge is in a perfect location; which is a short walk to dozens of great restaurants and pubs. Each morning we had an excellent breakfast; cooked to our liking. From the lodge, It’s easy 15-20 minute to center city. There are several bus stops nearby – if you like public transportation. Ruth, the proprietor, was helpful in providing guidance and coordinating activates. The rooms were clean and spacious.

Colonial style B&B on the outskirts of Cape Town
Good position for table mountain and the main road to Camps Bay. 2.5miles walk to the V and A waterfront. A few good restaurants in the vicinity. Mount Nelson hotel is close where they do wonderful afternoon teas. We had a large comfortable bedroom. There is an outside balcony seating area for the residents. A choice of fruit, yogurt, cereal, cheese and syrup pancakes and then a cooked English breakfast. Ruth the owner is very friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable.

Lovely lodge for solo travelers
I really enjoyed my stay at Liberty Lodge. As a solo female traveler, it was incredibly comfortable and secure. I never once worried about safety. It is in a quieter residential neighborhood but an easy walk to shops and restaurants or even to city center. My room had a phenomenal view of Table Mountain and there is a balcony with tables and chairs with a view as well. The breakfast spread was fantastic, I only wish I could eat more in the morning. Ruth and the staff are incredibly friendly and hospitable. Ruth was very helpful in planning my days (I didn't do much planning before I arrived) and has brochures for recommended companies.

Helpful and friendly Hostess,
Clean and pleasant guesthouse in a relatively safe area, although security a big issue. Close to Table mountain and a short taxi ride to the VA Waterfront. The hostess was very obliging and had furnished the house in a quirky eclectic fashion. For me it was rather too far out of the centre.
Response from Ruth on Jan 1, 2016
Firstly many thanks for staying here. I am confused about your comment about security being a big issue. Over the years guests have commented about the excellent position of the Lodge - as you say "a short taxi ride to the V&A Waterfront" and "close to Table Mountain". I am therefore sorry that you felt that the location was not for your personal liking.

Liberty Lodge was a fine solution for my five stay stay in Cape Town. Great location for easy access to central city and walkable to Kloof Street and Long Street restaurants and shops. Ruth provided terrific guidance on getting the best out of my stay and is very personable. Full breakfast everyday to get you off to a good start with a nice common living room and outdoor courtyard and terrace.

great B\B in central position
We really enjoyed our five night stay at Liberty Lodge, our room had everything we wanted including a large terrace with a perfect view of Table Mountain. Ruth, Lies and Niete really did us proud. Breakfast is taken on the patio which is nice and green and shady,breakfast is beautifully cooked and always just as you wnat it. There is a large table where all the guests sit and it is interesting to speak to the other guests who come from all over everywhere - a real family atmosphere. We had great meals on Kloof street (best pizzas ever at Da Vinci ). Lots of small and good boutiques everything very reasonable. We walked everywhere in the city, to the Waterfront, to the Slave Museum, African Market. A must by car is the Botanical Gardens really beautiful. The beaches at Camps Bay and Hout Bay are fantastic and easily reachable by car. Ruth, the owner of Liberty Lodge is a mine of information and will answer all questions and recommend and book tables for meals. Ruth you do a great job and thanks once again for everything, we really had a most enjoyable time.
