We stayed at HSL for almost two weeks. Very relaxing and easy going. Jeff and his staff are excellent and very helpful. Great location. If there was any drawback it would maybe be parking and that was only minor inconveince. USA should take lessions from this hotel!

I stayed at HSL for five nights with my wife as our first stop in SA for our honeymoon. First off I will clarify that I would like to give the hotel an overall 3.5 rating, but I do not believe Trip Advisor allows half stars so I settled on 4 overall. Upon arrival we were greeted by the security/door... More

Stayed at Head South Lodge with my 6 year old son for a week mid-February at the recommendation of a friend.The hotel is super relaxed, clean and well located. What makes the place special though is its staff. From the security guys through the receptionists to the kitchen staff, all are universally friendly, helpful and go out of their way... More

An outstanding place at a great location. Upgraded us at no charge and let us use a small room for showering the day of our departure at no charge, Honesty bar a real plus. Staff could not have been nicer and owner even mapped out our route to drive to Cape Point (rental car arranged through the hotel). Thought price... More

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights in December. A very relaxed hotel with nice rooms and amazingly comfy beds. Breakfast was lovely and everything was always very fresh. The honesty bar is an excellent idea and unlike most hotels, prices are very reasonable, which makes you more likely to keep buying it from them as opposed to going... More

The rooms are good, especially the bigger and more exclusive ones. The smaller ones though could use some freshening-up on the windows, otherwise totally okay. The breakfast buffé in the mornings are fresh and contains lots of fruit, although the variety on bread-accessories could be better. The best thing about HSL is the staff, who all are polite, nice and... More

A very nice hotel in Green Point (which is convenient). Jeff and his team are probably the nicest people I've never met in a hotel. We immediately felt at home. I think the Standard Rooms are a bit dark and small, Luxury Room are very nice but if you get the chance try the Deluxe are on the 2nd floor... More

My husband and I recently had a 3 day city break at Head South Lodge. I will admit that on arrival at the hotel we had a few misgivings - the area we had driven through to get there was not particularly attractive and instead of the expected on-site parking, we were faced with a massive jumble of cars both...

Having spent a couple of weeks travelling around South Africa and staying in guest houses in the middle of nowhere, we decided to make Cape Town our City Break, and wanted a friendly hotel rather than another guest house.

Thanks for the review guys. I prefer a king or queen size bed but many guests travel with a partner whom they don't want to sleep close to, hence we have more singles than we would like. It is market demand. I will see why the heated towel rail was so hot that it burnt you, and make sure that... More
