Stating at Banksia boutique hotel was a dream! We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful old villa, well appointed amenities and friendly and welcoming staff. We felt very safe and still extremely close to everything in Cape Town - it is situated at the bottom of Table mountain, in a quiet little neighbourhood. Excellent and freshly made breakfast every day gave us a great start to a week full of fun and exploring this beautiful part of the world. Thank you so much😊

The property is beautiful, the staff were exceedingly friendly and we got another room, as the aircon in our first room was broken, the treatments at the spa are really nice, breakfast was prepared with attention to detail. Very good value for money.

Gorgeous gem in the Southern Suburbs
It is always an exceptional experience at Banksia! The building is gorgeous and all the rooms are unique. The mountain view is a CAPE Town iconic postcard. The staff is kind and accommodating both managing the property and preparing and serving the stunning breakfast. Hope i can continue to return.

Our stay
A beautiful building in a very attractive suburb of Cape Town. The property is very clean and the room is comfortable although the two large armchairs in the bedroom we used rather cramped the space and were unnecessary. The overall condition is good, but now a little tired in places. It would definitely benefit from a professional update which would really make this period property amazing.
