I spent a week at Alta Bay and will sure come back next year. The rooms are big and you have everything you need there. If not the owners will make sure you get it. They were very nice and helpful to give advise on what to do in Cape Town and all the wonderful trails in the mountains. I... More

We had a great time in Cape town and our stay at Alta Bay contributed to this perfect experience: nice large and modern rooms with a lot of privacy. We enjoyed the small plunge pool and sun deck before or after our visits and walks. Alta Bay is very well located, just a few minutes by taxi from center/ town... More

In a nutshell all was fantastic. The owners of Alta Bay (Stephan and his wife) was very helpful and lovely. Alta Bay is a recommendable place in Cape Town. I... More

We spent 4 days at Alta Bay at the beginning of a 3 week trip to South Africa and Botswana. As a rule we prefer to stay at small, intimate hotels or guesthouses, so Alta Bay is not for the traveler who prefers large luxury hotels. Alta Bay did not disappoint and in fact exceeded our expectations. Stephan and Beulah... More

A nice, pretty place to stay in the suburbs. With a nice view of the mountains from over the fence. You have the option of sun at the top of the terrace, or a cooler climate in the garden down below. The owners were lovely, and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. The rooms are a... More

I spent two weeks in Cape Town, South Africa and stayed almost full time at Alta Bay. Initially, I intended to stay in Camps Bay because of the ocean view but after discovering Alta Bay, I changed my mind. Higgovale is a quiet, up market suburb with lots of very high trees, and only about 2.5 km and a nice... More

Alta Bay was an awesome get-away for me and my husband. It was nice to sit back and relax with a picnic on our private balcony or lounging on the deck chairs by the pool. Felt at home and the people who work there are very friendly. Recommend alta bay with confidence. More
