Great location, lovely staff
Really impressed with everything, from location to cleanliness.
I had two separate bookings which meant we needed to change rooms but the lady at reception (Jade?) pulled some strings to ensure we could stay put. Thanks so much

Great first stay at Head South Lodge!
Very much enjoyed my first stay at Head South Lodge! The guesthouse is in a great location - close to Sea Point and the promenade along the water, but also 20-30 min walk to V&A Waterfront and a quick 10 min Uber to City Bowl. Bed was very comfortable, WiFi worked well, they have secure parking in front of the guesthouse. All of the staff were so kind, felt very safe here, and excellent breakfasts. I will be back!

The staff were both professional and kind. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The breakfasts were well done and I loved that we were able to serve ourselves drinks and snacks on the honor system.

Great location - a short walk to the promenade by Green Point lighthouse.
There is a hot breakfast which is delicious and made to order.
The front terrace is a nice place to sit out in the evenings, and there is an honesty bar.
Place feels secure with a member of staff always on duty by the front gate.
Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Big thanks to Lee :)

Customer service was excellent, and hotel staff were accommodating and beyond friendly. Our room had a pleasant balcony, and we easily Ubered from the hotel to wherever we needed to go in the city. Breakfast buffet and the coffee options were also excellent!:) We did struggle with not being able to contact the lodge on our way in (we tried reaching out through the Expedia app but got no response), as we hoped for airport pickup or transportation suggestions. Unfortunately we did not hear back and ended up getting massively ripped off by a taxi who charged us about 4x the normal rate. Our advice: uber uber uber!!
