We spent 4 nights at Colona Castle upon arriving in South Africa. It was our first stop of 7. They made arrangements to have us picked up at the airport, and the manager was there to meet us upon our arrival, which was quite late at night. We were in the Safari Suite, and absolutely loved it.

Very beautiful spot. The rooms were large and uniquely decorated with fantastic style. The food was tremendous. Definitely eat at the hotel one night. It is one of the best meals I had in Cape Town.

We stayed here for a few days in Feb 2007 and would recommend this hotel for many reasons. The bedrooms were huge, beautifully decorated, spotless and supplied with an especially noteworthy carafe of the best sherry I have ever tasted! We did have slight trepidation on ringing the hotel to ask if children (2 and 5) were accepted as the... more
