iKhaya Lodge & Conference Centre

The iKhaya Boutique Hotel was a wonderful home away from home. (I was travelling to Cape Town for work and extended my stay at iKhaya at a friend's recommendation.) It's small, personal (without being intrusive) and everyone was so helpful to a newcomer to the city. It's in a wonderful neighbourhood, the Gardens, where walking around is easy, close to the Truth Cafe, The Book Lodge, A24 Art Foundation, the Labia Cinema, and District Six Museum, for starters. Maria's Greek Cafe--a delight--is 40 metres away across Dunkley Square. A stay at iKhaya includes breakfast, which is fresh and delicious with many choices, and the dinner menu and cooking are great. I had many long, lively days, which finished in the restaurant for a light or full dinner then resting in my newly renovated room--bright, attractive, artful, with everything you need. The view of Table Mountain and Lion's Head from the restaurant (especially at breakfast) was transfixing. When I return to Cape Town I will return to iKhaya, a word that means "house" or "home" in Zulu and Xhosa. Especial thanks to manager Nwabisa and to the generous staff.

Very nice boutique hotel. Looks much nicer than in the photos. Stepping out the door with Lion's Head and Table Mountain right in front of you.

Very great place for a safari. Value for money is outstanding. There's a lot on offer. The food was delicious. Everyone was friendly and our driver "Pluto" on safari was the best.
