Hotels With Parking in Western Cape, South Africa

Upgraded to a Loft suite. Excellent (once the air conditioner unit was explained). Staff great. Housekeeping a bit too eager. On site restaurant Liberty's seems slow and disorganized, even for South Africa and especially for a Hilton's. Free shuttle to V&A Waterfront every two hours. Walking distance to the Old Biscuit Mill (a Saturday morning must-do). Regular and reliable taxi service around Cape Town at reasonable rates, for drop off and pickup. Airport shuttle. Neighborhood was very safe Don't pre-book tours before you get here; Yasir and his team will take good care of you.

Having travelled extensively and stayed in numerous hotels worldwide, I can confidently state that my recent experience was the worst ever. Despite seeing several negative reviews about their service, I thought they were just occasional lapses. However, I soon discovered that the hotel had a persistent service problem. I had a problem with my reservation and spent two days trying to resolve it, but no one cared. To make matters worse, I was charged ten times the amount I had originally paid for the same room (i.e., $300 instead of $30) without any reasonable explanation. When I questioned this, the staff merely shrugged it off, citing fluctuating prices as the reason. The lady in charge of reservations was extremely rude and disrespectful throughout the ordeal. In addition to the issues with my reservation and the exorbitant charges, the air conditioner was not working properly and made a lot of noise. Furthermore, the fridge in my room made a huge noise, which disturbed my sleep at 2 am (I recorded a video as proof). Moreover, the noise levels in the dormitory were unacceptable all the night! making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. In short, I urge anyone considering staying at this hotel to think twice and look for other options.

We had a 10 p.m. arrival, so booked our first night's stay here, and we are so glad we did. It is very close to the airport, and even closer to our following morning's car rental agency. We were also glad we took the hotel's advice and booked a driver to take us the short distance late at night -- only ZAR 130, safe and efficient. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, scrupulously clean, cozy room, comfy bed. Big shower stall. There is no lift/elevator, so the porter certainly earned his tip for carying our luggage up the stairs! And best of all was the buffet breakfast -- possibly the best buffet scrambled eggs ever, tasty sausages, hot porridge/outmeal, salad with pumpkin seeds and pine nuts; choice of cereals, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt; plus toast, croissants, pastries, tea, coffee.

Taj is always a Gold standard in every aspect of hospitality. Starting from the front desk to the house keeping staff, everyone makes you feel at home. At Cape Town, it is really the finest. Extremely polite well behaved staff and welcoming at all times. The breakfast is amazing and a real well spread. Rooms are so comfortable and spacious that it is actually a home away from home. Some of the Staff there are amazingly helpful. Will definitely be there again.

This is a very nice (new) hotel close to the downtown and Waterfront area. A twenty minute walk to either location (not an easy walk) - they do have canal water taxi service available to take you to the waterfront. Definitely worth the experience. The breakfast service is delightful but can get crowded at times due to their catering of large tour groups. Rooms are nice, AC unit works very well, showers hot, tv selection extensive, and service awesome. Recommend for those looking for a very nice hotel at a reasonable rate. One downfall to the hotel / location is that is bucks up to the container / shipping area so when vessels come in you will hear a lot of container unloading noise at night. Ask for an ”even” numbered room so you are on the opposite side and you get a view of Table Mountain

Super lovely place to stay. 🏖️ If you are traveling together, it is a great stay house, the host is very friendly, and the breakfast is worthy of praise, it is delicious. The location is next to the Radisson, around the beach house, the board walk is 3 minutes by car, and the security is relatively good.

Very close to the airport, there is a free shuttle bus in an hour. Many foreigners choose this hotel, it is very clean, the room is not small, the breakfast is quite rich, it is a very good choice.

Very nice modern and luxurious decor, proactive and welcoming staff. Rooms are quite cosy, would recommended for couples or solo/business travellers. The bar and restaurant services delicious and decadent food. Location is very central and close to everything, but would receive recommend vehicle access, as there are not many things in walkable distance. Has a great night life scene, is popular amongst very hip club hoppers and social scene.

On arrival at signal hill lodge we were greeted with a huge smile and felt very welcome..... Covid19 protocols were followed... We were told if we need anything we can just make a call...

We stayed in a Karoo cottage for 2 nights. I had previously stayed (9 years ago) and was disappointed with my experience this time round in comparison. Starting with the good things - the animals and reserve itself were fantastic! Could not fault the length of the game drives, the knowledge of the safari leaders or the quality of service in that respect. We also opted to do a quad bike safari, which was a truly unforgettable and fantastic experience! Notwithstanding this, there were a few issues which we think could be improved: 1. While we understand Aquila is a business and needs to make money, we were shocked to find that no drinks were included (aside from juice and water at breakfast, and a single complimentary beverage on evening game drives). At lunch, dinner and throughout the day guests were required to pay for bottled water to keep hydrated. We paid a lot of money to stay 2 nights in a Karoo cottage so were disappointed that things like water, Coca Cola and locally produced wine were not included in the price. 2. The whole format has become more family friendly and at some points this detracted from the luxury experience expected for the price paid. Buffet food options seemed geared up to children’s needs/preferences and the pool area was often incredibly loud with screaming, shouting and splashing. Our first game drive was completed ruined by sitting next to a couple with a toddler and small baby dot 3 hours. The constant squealing and crying was not the luxury safari experience advertised by Aquila and, more importantly, we were extremely concerned for the baby’s welfare given the jolting of the safari jeep. Not a suitable experience for little ones. 3. A few days prior to our arrival I emailed Aquila indicating that I have a severe food allergy and asked whether this was going to be OK with the buffet food. I never received a response. 4. Our Karoo Cottage itself was nice but a bit dated. We expected something more modern (I.e., bathroom and furniture) for the money paid. Our outdoor area was covered in debris and animal droppings, making it largely unusable. While we appreciate Aquila is a game reserve, things like this could be resolved by housekeeping to give guests better value for money. Overall, we had a good time at Aquila. But we would not recommend or return as we didn't feel the whole price (including the basic refreshments we had to pay for) was worth the money we paid.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay here, comfortable room with a couple of quirks and a very good restaurant. Breakfast is outstanding, and the baked goods available are worthy of an award. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a Plenty room and as it is the top category room, were a little disappointed not to have a balcony as we could see other rooms have. There was a nice alcove with windows overlooking the pool but only 1 comfy chair so would suggest adding another armchair so both guests can enjoy. My other piece of feedback would be to opaque fully the glass between shower/toilet and bedroom as a night visit to the loo either needs to be torchlit or wake the other occupant when turning light on. The location on a central street was great for us although I would be nervous of noise if in a room overlooking it. Overall a decent hotel.

The hotel environment is better and quieter, but the check-in time can only be after 3 o'clock, because we arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning, and the waiter did not take the initiative to ask us to store our luggage in the hotel. Compared with the domestic service, the room is indeed a bit poor; Very small, but the bed is very comfortable. Generally speaking, this price corresponds to this room type and is not satisfied

Garden Route game lodge was fantastic. The game drives were absolutely awesome, and special thanks to Thalia for all of her impressive knowledge during these. All of the staff were so welcoming, and we felt so happy to be there. Dinner and breakfast was exceptional! We will definitely be back when we return to Cape Town!

Ok. Lots to say! We booked a 9am drive and arrived at the dirt road into the reserve with 40 minutes to spare. The road said closed! So we used google maps and information on their website and found another entrance for the lodges. So we drove for 40 minutes thinking we would just make it. But we couldn’t access the site there! So we went into the lodge reception and they called ahead and rebooked us on the 1pm and said they had reserved a table for us in the restaurant. And they told us to ignore the road closed sign! So another 40 minute drive back only to find the table reservation was not for anything complimentary! They could have emailed us to advise us to ignore the road closed sign but didn’t. The manager could barely apologise for what he called a minor inconvenience! To us, that was a stressful 90 minutes of extra driving! We had already filled in the online indemnity form- but they wanted a paper copy despite them saying in the on line form ‘save the trees’. To add insult to injury, the manager said he would come back to us about something complimentary but never did. We then went on the drive, got stuck in a mud ditch and had to wait for an alternative vehicle, which was filthy and uncomfortable compared to the first vehicle. Overall a memorable day for the wrong reasons. At least we saw some incredible animals.

I want to start by saying that my low review has nothing to do with the game drive or the accommodations, but instead the management and their inability to provide a solution to a problem that was their own fault. I booked this stay for my girlfriend’s birthday 6 months ago. (Her birthday was never acknowledged during our stay here by the way). In my package, I booked and paid for a 90 minute massage for the 2 of us. When we arrived to Gondwana, we asked about our spa treatments, but we were told by management they did not have us booked. They told us there was change in their booking system during July 2023 when we booked, and they had never transferred our spa reservation over, although they still had confirmation of our purchase. We asked for a resolution because we had been looking forward to these spa treatments. They offered us 60 minute massages during our afternoon game drive, which we obviously didn’t want to miss (plus the package I bought included 90 minute massages, not 60 minutes). The only other solution that was offered was for one of us to receive a massage on the morning of check out—Also not a good solution. We asked if there was any other compensation that we could receive for the inconvenience, but we were only offered a refund for the spa treatments. What makes all of this so frustrating is that they admitted this issue was their own fault when they failed to transfer our reservation in the booking system, but due to a lack of resolution, it felt like it was our fault for being uninformed and unprepared. We chose Gondwana because we heard it was the most prestigious game reserve in all of the Cape, but the lack of care for an inconvenience in our travels that was their fault has left us extremely disappointed. For a place of this caliber, they could do more than just offer a “sorry.” This is a very expensive stay, and you would think that would equate to caring about the guest, but it doesn’t. I want to mention that our game drive guide, Ruan has been nothing short of incredible. We’ve loved every minute of our game drives, along with the service at the restaurant and the luggage and housekeeping crew. But that is their job, to provide excellent service, and management should be held to the same standard. Unfortunately, with the lack of care of our reservation from management, what could have been a once in a lifetime time experience is left feeling flat.

Celebrated my mom’s birthday. We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and our room was spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast is great, wish it had pancakes or waffles for vegetarians. The hotel is located at the heart of Knysna- short stroll to the waterfront, plenty of restaurants& activities. Parking is available on site for ZAR30 p/ night and tourism levy is ZAR30 p/ night. Our check in was 30 minutes late, (14:30) bit disappointed, but we understand it was peak period. Otherwise highly recommend and will definitely return!

great hotel in Mossel bay! We didn't realize Mossel Bay was a busy commercial port, but the hotel delivered: a nice room, comfortable bed, plenty of room and a nice sitting area complete with small kitchenette! We had a nice view of the harbor and were welcomed and shown to our room with kind hospitality. The property is nice and we ended up eating in the restaurant adjacent for dinner: Cafe Gannet. It was was packed, and we know why--terrific food and service! Although Mossel Bay itself was somewhat disappointing for us as part of the ”Garden Route”, the hotel was terrific.

I had an incredible experience at this hotel! The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The hotel’s amenities, such as the pool were well maintained . The location was at housing area which not suitable for public transport, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay

WE WILL COME BACK ALWAYS! Mid January 2023 we had a family emergency and on our way from Cape Town to the Eastern Cape we had a vehicle breakdown. Whilst we had our car being fixed, Santos Express Train Lodge was recommended as a place to stay overnight. We found it not only a place to stay but it became a place of comfort for us. LOVE, EMPATHY and PATIENCE coupled with great SERVICE from the staff is what lead us to taking a decision that we will be back. We then made a reservation for December 2023. WOW; On arrival we were greeted with so much joy and we could feel at home again. Let me mention again that Kim at reception who gave us a warm welcome as well as Zandile at the restaurant; great people. These are people's people and you can tell that it comes natural for them to love and care and they are very consistent. A cherry on top was added to this stay when I saw my wife's excitement when we arrived at our Royal Suite A. WOW! This room was perfect for us as a couple. It has Wifi, Mini Bar fridge, a shower, a bath etc. I really can't fault anything at the moment because so far we've always been treated as a Royal family in Santos Express Train Lodge. May you all be blessed guys. ”CBS is the vehicle registration for Mossel bay and that means Come Back Soon” said the lady whom we came across at the entrance on our way out, and indeed we will Come Back Soon.

We celebrated my 50’th birthday at the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven recently. And what a celebration it was! The venue was spectacular, and the catering was out of this world. From day one, Johlanda and her team was extremely organized, and the pre-event arrangements was timeous and from an excellent quality and standard. Johlanda (and my wife) arranged everything in detail, quite a task if an event is held in Brenton and you are resident in Polokwane. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly, with no hitches whatsoever. The venue and catering were 100% spot-on. The bar staff, kitchen staff and waiters (Teenage and his team) were friendly, fast, and efficient. It takes quite a lot for any venue to deliver 50+ perfectly prepared steaks all at one time. Not one of our guests complained in any way or manner about any food, drinks, or service. Our guests were catered for in detail, from persons with allergies to persons with other food preferences (vegetarians and vegans). As most of our guests were from other provinces, most guests also made use of the Brenton Haven hotel, and once again not a single guest was disappointed in any of the hotel or facilities. The group discount offered for event guests, also made the accommodation very reasonably priced and our guests were indeed impressed by both the Butterfly Blu restaurant and the Brenton Haven hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to host my celebration at the Butterfly Blu and I will recommend the use of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven for any occasion or event. If I had to score my whole experience, I will score it 10 out of 10. I wish to heartfully thank the whole of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven team, with what can only be described as a once in a lifetime, extremely successful birthday celebration. Eugene le Roux
