Ruth and thge VERY capable team at Ikhaya dealt with about 20+ guests at outr wedding reception staing at the lodge and then catered and arranged the wedding ceremony for us. All while my husband and I were in Germany and Switzerland. We got exactly what we envisioned with loads of extras. The special vegan menus blew people's minds away.... More

Overall, this is a very good, value for money hotel, with friendly staff and nice rooms (apartments or efficiencies). However, the big drawback for me was internet connectivity. 30 rand per day per device, and even then weak or non-existent signal in the room (19). I had to spend most of my time in the reception to get a decent... More

I stayed for 3 nights and had a good experience. The room was clean and with the minimum required, including a lovely balcony towards the Square. The continental breakfast also had the minimum I expected and the service was just good, the staff is friendly but perhaps a little inexperienced. I was also allowed to use the open parking inside...

Great place to stay. Very friendly staff. Laid back. I had a very large and bright room with a view on Table mountain. Central location in a very quiet area.

iKhaya Lodge can be found tucked away in Cape Town’s historic Dunkley Square and surrounded by heritage buildings. It is listed as a three star establishment but its owner Ruth Kamau and her friendly staff provided us with five star service. Our delightful if sparsely furnished loft apartment provided pristine white linens on very comfortable beds. The view from our... More

I stayed at IKhaya lodge for 6 days at the end of June while in Cape Town and found it to be friendly, comfortable and good value. Only downsides were that the breakfast is continental only with limited choice, and the restaurant was not open for lunch or dinner while I was there. However there is a new Greek restaurant,...

It is always lovey to read a review from a guest and thank you for making time and it's great to know you enjoyed our property. The restaurant was going through some changes in the kitchen but we are happy to say that is complete and we are open daily from breakfast to 3pm. As a future note, dinner is... More

We stayed in one of the iKhaya Lodge apartments for 6 nights. The lodge is in a good location, within walking distance to several restaurants including Long Street and the train station. The apartments are roomy with good views of table mountain. We would stay here again. The wifi is not free, but is very inexpensive for 24 hours.

I stayed at iKhaya Lodge during the World Cup to report for a museum about women and public health. The Lodge was clean, incredibly safe, lovely, comfortable, and the staff were exceptionally kind. I travel frequently for work and staying at the Lodge was a truly remarkable time. I will return again next year and many years to come.

I spent four wonderful nights at the Ikhaya Lodge with colleagues earlier this month (Oct 2010) and found it absolutely delightful. If you're looking for a chain type hotel with predictable amenities and such, don't come here -- but if you're looking for a place with both charm and artistic touches, with exceptional African hospitality in a wonderful location, then...
