A characteristic English cottage with landscaped gardens houses this lodge in the Western Cape Winelands. A palm-framed oval pool is the focus of this quiet hideaway. The newly renovated rooms of the Africa Lodge feature thatched roofs and an African-style décor. The guests can enjoy several nearby activities, including golf courses and mountain bike trails. The lodge is also a good base to explore the Cape Peninsula and its wineries. For guests arriving with a private car, the Africa Lodge has free parking facilities on the premises.

    The Africa lodge is a little paradise once you enter the gate, you find yourself in very inviting calm and relaxed atmosphere. The garden, the pool and the accommodation were excellent. Paula and her husband are the best hosts one can wish for.
