Wonderful friendly host and very helpful with luggage.
Very nice stay and lovely quiet surroundings. I would just like to make a recommendation about the electric car gate for entry, quite dangerous for your car if you don't push back fast enough when leaving the premises. Your vehicle can very easily take a bump through the gate. I'm just mentioning because I think it's a challenge for many.

Excellent, neat accommodation, great service. Lightning fast response to inquiries, thank you. The noise due to the movement on the upper floor is a bit troublesome, but the owners are aware of it and an appropriate notice has been erected. I recommend the stay.

Hi Janneman, thank you for the feedback. We really are trying to work on this design issue (not of our making but of the previous owners who built this section) and have had one engineering firm quote us and are currently awaiting another quote to see how best to address this issue.
Other than that, we really hope that you had a good stay.
With kind regards,

Lovely place, nice surroundings, but the mattress needs to go!
I had a nice stay, but must mention that the room was much smaller than the one I chose in the photo. Secondly, please the mattress in that room is replaced. My husband and I both had very sore backs the next morning.

Highlands Lodge 's response
Thank you so much for the constructive feedback, Magdalene. We have just replaced eight mattresses and by the end of next week, we will have replaced a further six. We are just waiting for the order to arrive at the Lodge. Regarding the size of your unit - actually, both units are exactly the same size. However, Unit 3, which you did not stay in but may have seen pictures of, has been designed for wheelchair use and therefore, there are fewer cupboards to allow more space for a wheelchair. On the other hand, the unit you stayed in, Unit 2, has had more cupboards installed and we guess that may make it seem smaller.
With warm regards,
The Highlands Lodge Management Team

Highlands Lodge 's response
Thank you Carien for the helpful feedback. Two of the mattresses in your room are brand new, and we are in the process of slowly replacing all of our mattresses, however, when faced with the load shedding debacle, we elected to put "mattress buying" on hold and purchase a solar and UPS system to take us off the grid. We do hope that you enjoyed a stay that was not affected by load shedding, and we hope to see you again in the future.
With warm regards,
The Highlands Lodge Management Team

Good evening Thabiso, we are so sorry to hear that you found the carpets unpleasant, as they are vacuumed daily with carpet freshener and cleaned annually. We have never had that feedback prior, but we shall make sure to address the concern so that we can retain our 5/5 cleanliness score. With warm regards. The Highlands Lodge Management Team

The staff is very friendly, the rooms and the garden are beautiful and it was a very pleasant stay. I would really recommend it. It's quiet and I never even felt like I was in a city. The manager also came to ask if everything was okay. They were very accommodating. The food was very affordable and tasty. All the facilities for the self-catering were exactly what we needed.

Me, my Dad and 2 children, 14 and 16, came to spend the night there one night after we had to be at Durbanville MediClinic.
I can really recommend the place, the staff was very friendly and helpful, place was clean and nicely prepared. The breakfast was worth every penny. Don't leave it out! On the way to the Cape, my Dad decided to visit his brother that evening and spend the night, i.e. there were only 3 of us and not 4 at the time. The Highlands Lodge owner then decided on her own to give us credit for one person. I really didn't expect it or think it was necessary at all, but she was kind enough to offer it.

Pesky birds, maybe once we are out of COVID and the financial implications thereof have evaporated, we can look at providing protection from the birds for the vehicles parked in our parking area.
We are building a wall next year, and with that some of the trees will need to be removed, but we can't promise that we can control the birds.
See you next year again.
From all of us at the Lodge.

Hi Frances,
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately the stairs were in place when we bought the guesthouse. In the future we would like to do away with the internal stairs and only make use of the outside stair case, as these are in accordance with building code requirements, and have just been recently replaced. We will however need to include a cover for the winter months.
