After writing two comprehensive reviews covering our incredible stay at Londolozi Granite Private Suites in the Sabi Sands, and our regrettably very disappointing stay at Birkenhead House in Hermanus, I'm going to make this one brief. Likes: 1. Excellent value by South African standards. 2. Service and hospitality were great--special compliments to Robyn and the valet/security guys. The restaurant recommendations... more

After doing A LOT of research on the choices in Cape Town in all of the key areas, I decided to stay at Alta Bay - and I could not have made a better choice - it was one of the most relaxing inns I have ever stayed in - and the level of service was simply superb. Alta Bay... more

We stayed at Alta Bay for three nights. The hotel staff were extremely helpful both prior to our booking from the States as well as prior to our arrival from safari in Botswana. The staff arranged a rental car, met us at the airport, took us back to the airport and provided excellent suggestions for tourist sites in Cape Town... more

My Husband and I stayed at this wonderful hotel in March for 4 nights. There are so many things to say about this place, much of which has already been written in other reviews.. To be honest the only thing you really need to know is this. Alta Bay is a very special place. The setting is gorgeous, the whole... more

We had a fantastic 8-night-stay at “Alta Bay” and would come back at any time. With its only 6 rooms privacy is guaranteed and managers and staff are very discrete and helpful, but never bothersome. After a long night flight we were very pleased to be able to move to our room immediately, which by the way was a lovely... more

Spent 5 wonderful days at Alta Bay and wish is could have been longer. There is so much to do and see in Cape Town and it was lovely to come back to this 'calm oasis' - and a nice cup of earl grey tea! The staff were all friendly, helpful and smiley - particularly Robyn, who spent a lot... more

We had a great 4 night stay and this hotel, and would definately stay here again. The location is great, it is out of the downtown - but this is perfect as its quiet at night, lovely view, close to table mountain (so you can go at 8am before the queues start and then make it back for breakfast!). At... more

I am reluctant to write this as I fully intend to go back, and don't want it to be booked out.....however it deserves to be told. Alta Bay may be my favourite hotel, not just in Cape Town, simply ever. Not because it is the grandest, coolest, most cuttting edge glitzy urban bolthole, in fact because it is none of... more

Beautifully designed and comfortable small hotel with attentive and helpful staff. Very clever use of space. Clean contemporary style of decor. Chic well appointed bedrooms - one a small apartment with a kitchenette. Slightly out of town but a very peaceful and attractive neighbourhood and only minutes away from the city attractions, shops and restaurants by taxi. Good buffet breakfast... more
