It is so good we had to return. You won't find anywhere better. The beds and linen were made in Heaven!

What a wonderful piece of heavenly tranquility Dongola House is. I could have sat by the sparkling pool for a week longer just to soak up the view of the Mountains, and the rich diversity of greenery and fynbos in the Valley. Everything about Dongola House is outstanding, including the hospitality of Mike, Sally and Peter. There are not enough... More

Dear Linda, thank you so much fro taking time out to write this review. We are very proud of our waterwise/indigenous garden and the greenbelt, each year some new indigenous plant matures enough to put on a flower display keeping us enthralled throughout the year. Warm regards, Mike Sally and Peter More

We're a family of 5 and stayed at Dongola House for 4 nights. The team is fantastic - friendly and helpful. The rooms and grounds/ pool are excellent, v neat and tidy. Best of all are the b'fasts - we enjoyed lingering by the pool! They also have a strong Green ethos which is great and doesn't compromise quality. We... More

Dear Mullets, thank you so much for taking time to write a review about your stay with us. It is difficult to pull oneself away from our mountain view pool after one of Sally's or Peter's lovely breakfast but with so much to see and do around us I am glad you did. We are proud of our green "ethos"... More

Following the advice of friends, who themselves have booked to return, we experienced the exceptional hospitality of Sally, Mike and Peter. The peaceful garden rooms and breakfast patio with pool have a wonderful view of mountains: there is a country atmosphere yet with proximity to a main road into Capetown or to the vineyards.

While visiting our son in Cape Town we stayed at the Dongola House located in the residential area of Constantia. It was our 5th visit in Cape Town and we were looking for a place not too far from the city and close enough to the family. We chose to stay in Constantia and after reading the reviews we decided...

Dongola House is perfectly located near Cape Town, but away from the the noise and frenzy of the city. The surrounding views of the mountains are stunning, and the gardens and rooms are beautifully designed and maintained.
