We are two 70-year-old women who felt carefully cared for and attended from start to finish. Godfrey and the other amazing people who work there knew what we needed before we knew. Their recommendations for dining and tours were the best we could imagine. The breakfasts were better than any restaurant we went to. The Lodge is cozy, warm (a must for us!), clean, and had the sweetest coffee and tea arrangement in the room.

The staff are super helpful and welcoming, breakfast delicious, refurbished rooms lovely and able to walk to many restaurants/shops happily during the day. The bar area is quite small so when there are parties travelling together you can be made to feel an imposter. Pool area is shaded which may suit some people. As yet there is no provision for load shedding but they are working on this. I still rate this 5* as it is exactly as described, I would definitely return.

I highly recommend Blackheath Lodge. Excellent, professional and friendly customer service. By the time you leave, you feel as though you’ve stayed with friends. The loft room is spacious and yet feels cozy. The substantial breakfast is delicious and the chocolate cake and treats always left out to enjoy a special touch. Cannot wait to return!

This was an amazing place to stay during our time on Cape Town. The main thing that stands out is the staff, they are helpful beyond measure and will go above and beyond, with enthusiasm and personality. They genuinely care about their guests and will do whatever they can to help, including assisting in itineraries and bookings. From the security who helps you in the evening, to the guys that cook and serve you breakfast, to the gardener, to the guys that clean the room and front of house who became like friends were absolutely excellent!!! Other things to mention: great location, parking, great breakfast, all day tea/coffee and cake, great rooms...wouldn’t hesitate staying here again, they made the trip! and to top it off they found out it was my birthday and went to the effort to bring out cake and sing (with incredible voices) thank you again (thanks G and K we won’t forget your daily assistance)

A lovely old Victorian house converted into an attractive boutique style hotel. A chilled out feel with great attentive service. Breakfast was excellent with a view over the pool. Central location with easy parking for our rental car next to the hotel. I jogged down to the beach promenade where there is an outdoor gym and even outdoor swimming pools pretty close. Would like to have spent more than 2 nights there. Would recommend this hotel.

This was one of the friendliest hotels I have ever stayed in. All the staff provided a really warm welcome to all the guests. They were clearly genuinely interested in making sure everyone was happy. The building itself is very unique and comfortable (I slept very well - I often suffer from sleeplessness), built in the 19th century, in a great location, a short walk to the beach and an easy drive to the main facilities of Cape Town, and the amazingly beautiful Cape and the top of Table Mountain itself. The breakfast was great and there were lovely delicious extras (cakes and beverages) available to the guests for free. This was my first time in Cape Town, and I will definitely be back to stay in Blackheath Lodge again!

Wonderful stay in lovely B&B w/ excellent service!
We just returned from 4 nights at Blackheath Lodge and 4 nights in Kruger. All the staff at the lodge were wonderful, but Godfrey and Karin were especially helpful. Godfrey took the time to ask what we were hoping to see and helped us plan it perfectly, as well as, offered some new suggestions. We were able to see much more that I thought we would be able to in our short time there. We stayed in the loft room and loved the balcony overlooking the water. Breakfast was very good and included which is always a plus. The neighborhood is lovely and perfectly situated just 5-10 minute walk to the promenade and we always felt safe. We were easily able to Uber everywhere else we wanted. Thank you for making our first trip to South Africa so memorable - we'll be back for sure!

We stayed her before and after Safari. Karin, the manager, could not have been more helpful in helping us with logistics, taking care of bags we wanted stored and laundry after Safari. The breakfasts were superb, the staff friendly, and the rooms comfortable and quiet. When we returned it felt like coming home.

Best BNB we've ever stayed at! GO!
We have stayed at BNB's and hotels throughout the world and have never loved our stay more than at Blackheath. They really overwhelmed us with service. Riano, Charle and our breakfast waiter exceeded expectations, the latter remembering to make my bacon really crisp! Charle came on her night off when we arrived when we had a truly small language problem with the desk clerk that could have waited until the next morning.She wanted to make sure we got situated easily and then plied us with courtesy glasses of wonderful South African wine to start our vacation off even better! They brought tea to our room, no charge, had delicious cakes and cookies and teas each day for snacks, no charge. Riano suggested two fabulous restaurants, not pricey as we requested, close in and delicious food. They furnish a cell phone loaded with the taxi phone number and their contacts so you don't have to mess with international calling plans, etc. The rooms was charming, the decorations beautiful, and the bed wonderful. And the staff seemed to really enjoy guests.Thank you to all the staff--you made our last week in Africa truly stellar!
