The Last Word Constantia

From the moment you walk through the door you know this is a special place. Luxurious, sophisticated and spotless- Kim, Gray, Beauty and the team turn a memorable holiday into a unforgettable experience 9 spacious rooms with excellent breakfast Lovely pool and exquisite gardens

Kim & her team, incluing Charmaine who bakes the amazing afternoon cakes and treats for your room, set the bar for the best Boutique stay in any guest house we have had. Spacious comfortable rooms, lovely Pool and gardens to relax after exploring local gardens and hiking Constantia Nek. To be offered a cup of tea and a slice of cake whilst relaxing was heaven. We would go out of our way to ensure we stayed here again. Thank you to all of you

The hotel is located in the upmarket suburb of Constantia some way from the centre of Cape Town. We were advised against walking round the area and without a car, it can feel rather isolated. The hotel is a beautiful – the décor in the public areas and our room was bright and welcoming. I didn’t want to move from the comfortable sofas in the lounge area! The pool area and gardens are simply stunning. We had a pool suite which was large and well-appointed with everything you would expect from a boutique hotel. Unfortunately the air-conditioning unit was above the bed and despite adjusting the angle of the vents and speed, we felt as if we were sleeping in draught and slept with the windows open instead. Our private terrace was rather drab and the pool water murky compared to the main area by the swimming pool and gardens so we preferred to spend our time there. If I stayed again, I wouldn’t choose a pool suite. Breakfasts are huge with a wide choice of cold and hot food. The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant but is adjacent to Peddlars on the Bend Restaurant, a popular local restaurant and bar. We ate there each night and the service and food was good. They will deliver their food to the hotel but we liked the buzz of the restaurant. Just a word of caution, we had mild tummy trouble as did a couple of other guests. I mentioned this to friends who come from Cape Town and they said, whenever they head back they use bottled water to clean their teeth, wash fruit, and avoid salads. We’ll know next time! The staff were really friendly and the service provided by the hotel is superb – tea and drinks by the pool or in our room were no problem. A special thank you to Kim who welcomed us on our early arrival and showed us to showers so we could freshen up after a long flight before arranging transport to the Kirstenbosch Garden. After we had checked out I discovered I had lost some jewellery. Luckily a member of staff had found it, handed it in and Kim arranged for it to be couriered back to me in the UK. I was so impressed by this and the hotel in general, that we have booked to stay at their sister hotel in Long Beach at the end of the year!

Superb service in a beautiful setting. Big rooms with lovely bathrooms and great amenities including free soft drinks. Wonderful breakfast with superb ingredients. But the best part of the hotel is the staff who cannot do enough for the guests.

What a spectacularly spacious luxurious room with views over the gardens - this is our second stay to this hotel and the welcome was as warm as ever and the quality of everything was spot on. Such a lovely quiet location with access to a lively restaurant and bar next door. The breakfasts are out of this world and set you up for any wine tasting! The team of lovely people couldn’t do more for us. This is a truly wonderful experience if you want the best of the best on your trip in the Cape.

Amazing hospitality from all if the staff. Very large beautiful rooms. A little gem with the most amazing gardens. A great little pub / restaurant. Not far from boulders beach. Honesty bar is very well stocked. I would highly recommend to anyone.
