    We loved everything about this lodge. Dorian was very helpful, offering great communication before our arrival late in the evening. He gave useful advice and insights about the city and surroundings. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds were so comfy. We could enjoy delicious breakfast (those pancakes!) delivered by an always friendly and smiling staff. Close to all the interesting spots but in a calm and safe neighborhood. Highly recommended!

    Wifi was not always stable. We stayed in winter time and the dining and living rooms were a bit chilly.

    Very conveniently located close to Table Mountain, Signal Hill and in a quiet and safe area. Breakfast was very good. Comfortable beds. Dorian and his staff are lovely and very flexible.

    Everything! Friendly, smart and very helpful owner (basically he organised our 3 days in CT, based on weather, our preferences, time & budget). Beautifullly build & decorated property (like a boutique hotel), newly refurbished, exceptionally clean, secure area. Delicious omelets and pancakes (the best we had!!), friendly staff.

    We had an amazing time at the Cactusberry Lodge. The room was not super big but very nice and newly renovated. Dorian is an awesome host, who gave us a lot of recommendations for Cape Town and when to do what to have the best experience. He (and his team well) really made our stay unique. If we ever come back to Cape Town we would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for a really great time 🙂

    A hotel worthy of the greatest, while offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bedding is quality, the decoration neat, the breakfast delicious, and what makes the difference is the special attention of the manager, always taking great care of his customers!

    A pool would be the icing on the cake.

    The property is very well located in the Centre of town, a 10 min walk from the restaurants and bars of Kloof Street and a 12 min drive to the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton. The rooms are a great size and very clean, and come at a very reasonable price. By far the greatest attraction of staying in Cactusberry are Dorian and Kieran - absolute top lads who really know their stuff when it comes to Cape Town recs and will make sure you get the best of the city. The breakfasts are also excellent!
