A very nice guest house lovely setting the views from the terrace to the sea and surrounding area is lovely. Rooms are comfortable with mini bar and tea making facility.
Staff attentive and the owners are very friendly.Breakfast in the main room is lovely and plenty of choice. You need a car as its about 30mins into Capetown but a lovely easy drive

Mustard-coloured Colona Castle, high on the hill overlooking Muizenberg, was the final of three hotels we stayed at around Cape Town on our 8-day holiday there. It was just us and one other couple staying here and it was like being invited to stay at your rich uncle's luxury getaway, it being a 1920s era fantasy of high ceilings and huge windows, decorated with gorgeous fabrics and exotic curios, showing a life well-travelled - one we envied very much! We stayed in the gorgeous green Chinese room which had an enclosed, AND and exposed balcony overlooking the courtyard pool (which we didn't get to use, sadly, although we did enjoy breakfast outside on our final morning), with a lovely, light-filled, large, sparkling white bathroom. Michael the helpful owner recommended dinner the first night at the wonderful Harbour House restaurant in nearby Kalk Bay which was just superb, and the dinner the second and final night at Catharina's in nearby leafy vineyard region of Constantia. Special mention goes to the smiling, helpful assistants David and Leroy. If we ever got back to CT, we would definitely stay here again. Book it, you won't regret it.

Room tip: Chinese room is just gorgeous!

We spent 3 nights at Colona Castle in February, as a weekend getaway from our home in Zambia. We had a lovely time. The house dates to the early 1900's, which gives it a sense of history. The rooms are well appointed with great bathrooms. We had the New Suite, which was nice and private as it was below the main area of the house. We loved the breakfast service - the chef was so personable and we were able to order exactly what we wanted. The food was of excellent quality, and the atmosphere in the dining room was perfect. And, the coffee was outstanding! The location is ideal for exploring the wine country, as it is very near the main road along the sea that leads to Stellenbosch. I would recommend making dinner reservations ahead of time during the high season (the hotel can assist with this), but we were still able to dine at nice places near the hotel and reservations were graciously made by the hotel management. My only recommendation to hotel management would be to have TV in the rooms that offers a full DSTV package, just for those spare moments when you just want to relax in the room...with all that Cape Town has to offer, TV isn't that important, but it is nice to have and is generally expected at a hotel of this quality. It is also helpful to have a hire car if you stay here, as it is a great place to explore from but is a 30 minute drive from the city center.

The accommodation, the proprietors, the staff, the service, the views...just wonderful. And we had to manage without a car due to a lost drivers license, so it can be done. Very close to the train station.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colona Castle. We had traveled a few days around the area so were ready to relax and stay put. The Castle is in a location that is a bit hard to get to / from unless you have a car or get a cab (they will call one for you), but the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious, overlooking a gorgeous view of the mountain and ocean. Nicole and her husband are very friendly hosts, and there are only a few people staying at the Castle at a time, so it is peaceful and you get all the service you need.
