Six of us stayed at Summit Place for two nights as we had a wedding nearby. The main reasons we chose Summit Place were proximity to the wedding venue, and price (great value).
The rooms are beautiful, modern, very spacious, spotlessly clean and with self catering facilities. Very comfy beds and great showers. Quiet at night. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the staff make a great breakfast. The pool area and grounds are also really lovely, and have a residential, rather than hotel type feel. Good security with high walls etc For all those things I can't recommend it more highly.
The key decision maker as to whether it will suit you is location. Summit Place is in Constantia, a lovely upmarket suburb of Cape Town.
It's very easy to drive to from the airport. It's about a 20 min drive to central Cape Town/Waterfront so whether this suits depends on you, how you travel and what you're doing. It's also an easy drive out to Stellanbosch and the Garden Route.
If you're a family, group or couple with a car, who will drive around, and for whom personality/character/friendliness, quality and price is paramount, this place is for you. Kids have plenty of space to run around and you'll probably have the pool to yourself all day. You definitely need a car.
If you're a backpacker, or a single/couple without a car, it probably won't. If this is your first trip to Cape Town and you like to walk everywhere you'll be better off staying at the Waterfront or Green Point. A taxi from the Waterfront costs between 220-250ZAR.
We booked online using www.places.co.za Average price was 350ZAR pppn.
