The Dongola Guesthouse

Tripadvisor ratings and our expectations were totally confirmed. The location is fantastic to explore the winelands or just to relax all day near the pool. The rooms are spacious, clean and the interrior is chosen with a big sense of taste. The owners are wonderful people who have made us feel very comfortable. We definitely will come back.

This is an absolutely super place to stay. Mike sent driving directions from the airport which was really helpful, and location-wise, it is as easy to get into Cape Town as it is to go south to False Bay. The en-suite rooms were beautifully decorated, and the views of the Constantiaberg mountain from the garden were stunning. We had an excellent breakfast outside on the terrace by the pool every day (in April!) and Mike and Sally were very helpful hosts, providing maps and directions to various places. The Assistant Manager Natalie is delightful. All in all, cannot fault it!

The summary sentence says it all. The owners Mike and Sally were helpful and lovely. Peter, who also looks after guests made our trip with his warm personality and attention to deal. We would definitely stay there again.

This was a delightful introduction to South Africa and the western Cape for our 40th wedding anniversary. Even before arrival, Sally provided excellent help and suggestions, by email, for local restaurants and possible sights to see in our 3 day/4 night short visit. She and Mike were perfect hosts and should be proud of their boutique B&B and the personal care and attention which is evident in all they do. Breakfasts were beautifully prepared and enjoyed on the poolside patio with an excellent choice of cooked fare to complement cereals, pastries and fruit/yoghurt and cold meats. Our room was furthest from the main building and enjoyed a late sunset over the mountain. The bed was very comfortable and room well appointed and within WiFi range. Located in the wine estate area of Constantia, it is within easy drive of all Cape Town main sights and secluded enough to feel you are in the countryside. Sally and Mike seem to love chatting with their guests and this provides a nice relaxing ambiance to their special spot. Thanks for a great stay. Dongola House deserves to receive all its customer accolades.

We arrived late at night weary from a 24hr journey and were made to feel very welcome. Sally and Peter couldn't do enough for us and were excellent hosts. The rooms were pleasant, spotless and were situated with lovely views of Table Mountain amid a great garden. Very peaceful and relaxing. Good breakfasts, free internet access and plenty of advice for travelers.

The guest house is an amazing cozy retreat with everything you can possibly need to make your stay in Cape Town an unforgettable experience. The location is great, it is surrounded by vineyards, short distance to Hout Bay, Boulders Beach, Cape Town, Simon’s Town and any activity you plan on engaging while in SA. So much to do around here! Thank you Mike and Sally for your hospitality!! A high five paw for the best four legged hosts, Emm and Shadow, the black labrador residents!
