From the moment I stepped into Wonderland Boutique Guesthouse & Spa, I knew I had found something extraordinary. This is not just a hotel — it’s the result of 25 years of dedication, vision, and love, a masterpiece crafted with patience and passion. Every corner tells a story, and every detail reflects the heart of its creators. The place is cozy and intimate, with a warm charm that instantly makes you feel at home. Surrounded by lush greenery in every direction, it feels like nature is embracing you. The bar is a perfect spot to unwind, with a relaxed atmosphere that invites great conversations. And of course, the two lovely dogs are always there to greet you with pure joy — adding a unique, homely touch you won’t find elsewhere. Meeting the owner, Safiyah, was one of the highlights of my stay. Her mindset toward constantly upgrading the place, her eye for detail, and her love of music are truly inspiring. She sees her guesthouse as a living, evolving work of art — and you can feel that energy in every space. For me, Wonderland is not just accommodation; it’s an experience, a feeling, and, as I told Safiyah, “a stolen part from paradise.”

Our stay at Bluemari's Retreat was an absolute delight from start to finish. It is a luxury retreat in every way... a beautiful house and garden in a quiet and safe location which exudes calm and serenity. All rooms are stylish and well equipped with comfy beds, quality bed linen and top notch bathrooms. The outdoor bath in Flamingo is fabulous. The pool area, dining room, lounge and library are beautiful too and we were made to feel so 'at home'. EVERYTHING is of the highest quality and EVERYWHERE is immaculate. Huge thanks to Jan and Evelyne who are superlative hosts, so charming and so efficient with great knowledge of the area. Serving the most delicious breakfasts including perfect poached eggs and omelettes, helping with recommendations for restaurants and adding many personal touches that made our stay so memorable. From homemade biscuits, a cellar of superb wines and a handy phone charger by the kettle to Christmas gifts and music on Christmas morning and an invitation to a braai on our last night. The best hotels just cannot match the style, charm and serenity of Bluemari's Retreat. If you are planning to stay near Cape Town, you must stay here!

Much cheaper that the nearby Camps Bay. Once you have a car (and it is always a neccessity in Cape Town) the longer distance from the CT centre does not make much difference.

    We enjoyed every single moment at Poseidon! It's a place of exceptional friendliness, comfort and hospitality! The location and view of Chapman's Drive and the entire bay are outstanding! The rooms are both stylish and cozy with a nice personal touch. The living room is really an invitation to both a quiet evening at the fireplace or a chat with other guests or the very interesting and friendly hosts. The breakfast was incredible!

    Great location to explore various highlights of Cape Town and surroundings. It is also an excellent place to just relax and enjoy the garden and views. Outstanding breakfast. Hout Bay has a fair amount of nice restaurants. We stayed for 5 nights and would come back again. Luis was a great host.

    The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.
