Guest Impressions

our stay in Glen Avon Hotel in Cape Town

"Our compliments for the Glen Avon Lodge in Cape Town again. We had been there two years ago and our stay was again wonderful. The superior room next to the pool, the excellent Food and the very good Service had convinced us again. Also it is set in a quiet area but not too far away from the Airport or the City."

Wonderful stay in a great location

"My family stayed in this lovely guesthouse for 3 nights but would have been happy to stay longer. Really good location with a restaurant in walking distance. Great to explore Constantia vineyards. Fabulous staff and great breakfasts. The rooms were stunning with great space and garden views. Highly recommend staying here."

- Rebecca Mawson from United Kingdom
Arrival in South Africa

"We arrived at Glen Avon Lodge straight from Cape Town airport. The welcome we received from the staff was excellent. Our room was spacious with a good view of the splendid garden and the swimming pool. The staff were very attentive and looked after us well throughout the four nights of our stay. Breakfast was very good and the evening meals in the restaurant were excellent. We were given excellent advice on what to see and more importantly how to get to the places. We would thoroughly recommend Glen Avon Lodge."

- David Hills from United Kingdom
Intimate wedding at Glen Avon Lodge

"My husband and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have found this little gem of a boutique hotel in Constantia, Cape Town for our wedding. Our respective families were equally impressed by the excellent service we received from the staff at Glen Avon. Wendy and her staff went above and beyond to make our wedding and our stay a very memorable one. We look forward to going back there time and again. Thank you very much."

Guest feedback about Glen Avon Lodge

"We visited Glen Avon in January this year. A big thank you for looking after us so well. Any thing that we required was sorted for us, the staff were extremely helpful, even to the effect of trying to book a boat trip for us to help us with our bird watching, the reason for our visit. Also Wendy found some local places for us to visit for the birds. I recommend this guest house, visitors will not be disappointed. We had a lovely relaxing trip."
