    Mosquitos (though given location it’s expected). With loadshedding would highly recommend a generator (even if just for the shower) we were warned about this which was appreciated but ultimately we had to shower and in most cases half of us had very cold showers

    Views, hot tub.

    Everything about Lalapanzi Lodge is exceptional - from the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff to the design of the lodge and rooms. The lodge is nestled amidst a pine forrest with a clearing such that there are unsurpassed views to the sea.

    Beautiful location set about 6 miles North of Somerset West and in an idyllic location, looking out to Cape Point and nestled among pine trees. Sunsets were spectacular! Lovely freshly cooked breakfast, especially the French Toast. Fruit, yogurts and cereals etc are on offer too. If you don’t mind cooking definitely order the braai pack. Comes with really good meat, salad, potatoe salad and garlic bread. Rose and the team were just so lovely and couldn’t do enough for you! Just a wonderful place to relax after such a hectic holiday and easy to get to the airport. (40minutes)

    Property is a bit removed, so you need a car to get to nearby stores or restaurants etc. To be honest this was not a problem as we spent most of our time at the lodge.

    Great property, comfortable and clean, and well-maintained. The views are breathtaking, seeing the sunset over false bay is a sight not to miss. Property is remote so you get peace and quiet, and the stars at night are beautiful to see. Some great wineries around (e.g. Idiom). The staff are fantastic, very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. The food at the venue, although limited options, was very tasty. There are some walking paths around the property, but did not do them so will not comment.

    The food was not freshly made. Some frozen pizza but also they do mention they prepare light meal. So just don’t expect fancy food.

    Rose was really helpful and sweet, we enjoyed our stay. The trail to the dam was really beautiful, worth a hike. Would recommend to stay more than two days.

    Very peaceful with a wonderful breathtaking view, especially at sunset from the dining room. The morning view at breakfast was great as well. Rose was a terrific host, willing to help in any way she could. We felt safe, comfortable, and very well attended. We would highly recommend this place, wish we could have stayed longer.

    There is not a single complaint I could even imagine.

    If I could give this place a billion stars I would. The views are spectacular. Mountains, sea view and forest all in one sight. Lalapanzi exceeded my expectations. The manager, Rose, is fantastic. She texted us a message daily just to make sure we were okay. The place is extremely clean and very functional. I loved the wood fired hot outside. Everything was well thought. I will. Without a flinch, I highly recommend Lalapanzi.
