Loloho Lodge

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Loloho Lodge!

Had a lovely short stay at this property, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay from the start to the end. The owners was so lovely and welcoming and so accommodating, thank you. 😊

We had a great time at Loloho and highly appreciated the flexibility and kindness of management. Highly recommended!

The Lodge is very well kept by Sam and his team, spotlessly clean throughout, staff are extreemely helpful and attentive. The location is perfect for getting around the City. Would definitely recommend.

I had a pleasant stay, my room was clean and well serviced. The location was good for local beaches, restaurants and centres. The guesthouse a little quirky but security was good, although i found the external blinds unusual... Thanks for the stay, oh and the Scrambled Egg. 😊

Frank runs his place with military precision. We had everything we needed including a good breakfast. We also liked the location near the sea and in a quiet residential area but near to plenty of restaurants for the evening. On the tourist bus route too. Uber taking us into Green Point and the waterfront.

it was wonderful.

Really enjoyed our short stay here. Frank is great, the rooms are simple but spotlessly clean and it is in a great location in walking distance of the hills, the coast and restaurants.

It was a lovely place to stay very clean and well kept. Frank our host was such a lovely person, lots of information and had some nice ideas and places to eat. The breakfast that he prepared for us was lovely.

Fantastic - thank you ! Clean, efficient, comfortable, and a good location. An all round good place to stay!

Loloho Lodge is an immaculate intimate guesthouse in a very convenient location. There are 4 separate bus routes within a few hundred metres which will take you to the city centre or Waterfront and it is only a few hundred metres from the beach. The city sightseeing buses also run nearby. The surrounding area is safe. The swimming pool and garden were spotless. On arrival Frank gave us a good tourist briefing with maps and brochures and even lent us 2 MyCiti bus cards to get us started. Our room was spotless and well appointed with refrigerator, tea/coffee facilities and a ceiling fan. However, it was quite compact. Breakfast was outstanding with the best selection of fruit I have ever seen, eggs and bacon cooked to order, croissants, bread etc. The coffee was the best we had in 4 weeks in South Africa. I thoroughly recommend Loloho Lodge and will try to stay there again if I visit Cape Town again.

Comfortable, clean room. Breakfasts al fresco with a selection of fresh fruit while the sky divers float overhead on their descent from the mountain. Owner Frank very helpful with local advice. Attractive pool and handily placed for Seapoint buses into town.

I enjoyed my stay and met many nice people travelling, mainly from Europe. The rooms are comfortable and super clean. However, the walls and sound proofing are not good and I would suggest ear plugs for any light sleepers. Frank is a good host and the breakfasts are very good.

Very pleasant stay. Owner very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good. Only downside is rooms have poor sound proof so can hear other guests conversations.

Close to airport, nice staff.

First impressions are everything and to be honest, we didn't feel very welcome when we arrived two hours earlier than our agreed check in time. Frank's enthusiasm was underwhelming. We were more than happy to come back at 16.00 the agreed time but we were sent away feeling like naughty children! Frank and Simon run this lodge with military precision...a bit more flexibility wouldn't go amiss e.g. strict check in and out times which are not customer friendly, i.e check in is at 16.00 & check out is 10.00, times we haven't had anywhere else on our travels, also strict breakfast times. We also got the impression that everything was too much effort e.g. asked for a boiled egg one morning & was told no as the pan was in use!

Guest House was very satisfactory and reasonable value for money. I would come back again. Frank the owner was most helpful.

The owner of this hotel is just not very customer oriented. Based on other reviews, he gets defensive when he hears this, which is unfortunate. He booked an airport shuttle for us and the driver did not show up. When we informed him, he didn't seem to concerned. This property is not a hotel, but a guest house. Our room had a door that lead into the main house where the owner lived . We often heard loud talking and laughing from the owner as late as 10:30pm, yet he didn't hesitate to tell us that my opening the gate to leave for a run everyday at 6pm was noisy. Never mind that it was his gate that was squeaky because it wasn't properly maintained. Our room also opened to the driveway, so we heard cars coming and going late at night. We had no option but to keep our window louvers open as the rooms are not air conditioned. As it was 40 degrees one day, no air conditioning was a real issue. Parking is very inconvenient as it is a one lane driveway and if you are at the front with three cars behind you, it is very inconvenient to get your car out. The rooms are clean but small and again, depending on the room you get, they can be very noisy. The pool was nice, but not at all clean, despite the cleaning device constantly being in the pool. The best aspect of this property is its proximity to the ocean. The neighborhood is not very nice, the property is hard to find and it is not well marked.

Loloho, run by an English ex-pat, is a large house that has seven bedrooms. It is situated in the heart of Sea Point, and so convenient for everything. It provides comfortable bedrooms, use of a pool, off-street parking (not for those lacking in confidence!) and a good breakfast. For the price, it is excellent value.

We had an excellent stay here! The owner Frank was extremely helpful months prior to our arrival. He emailed us suggestions for renting a car, airport transfers, and places to tour on our request. Once we arrived, Frank was very hospitable to us. Every morning him and Simon would make us a breakfast. And then ask about our plans for the day and offer suggestions if we were unsure of things, such as places to eat, weather, etc. For our Cape Point drive, for example, he gave us a map and showed us the best scenic route and per-warned us about toll roads and road closures. The lodge was very peaceful and clean!
