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.

Exquisite hotel with excellent staff
I stayed in this hotel as it is very close to UCT campus, where I had meetings, but it would be equally suitable (and ideal perhaps) for a couple visiting Cape Town. Taxis/Ubers are cheap to get into downtown Cape Town. It is in a safe and friendly part of the city, and also close to the botanical gardens. It would be a terrific staging post for people wanting to travel in the surrounding area (it is also closer to the airport than downtown Cape Town).

Great hotel slightly off the beaten track
The Banksia is located away from the main tourist areas, but is very convenient for visits to UCT or to Kirstenbosch gardens, and the waterfront and other City attractions are not that far away. The hotel rooms are large and well appointed, with high ceilings. Breakfasts are very good with fresh baked goods and ample choice. The staff are very helpful.

Rewarding relaxation at Banksia
We stayed for 2 nights and it's absolutely a genuine gem. Beautifully designed facility and rooms, friendly staff, excellent breakfast with a lot of variety. The neighborhood is a residential one, very quiet throughout the entire day and night. Value for money doesn't get any better than this place.

This was a great little boutique hotel in a leafy suburb. Originally an Edwardian house it has been enlarged sympathetically to incorporate a pool in an attached conservatory. Rooms are large quiet and comfortable and breakfast was excellent with an extensive choice, both hot and cold. All the staff we encountered were super friendly. I only had two minor reservations. First, the bathroom fittings were not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. Second, in hot weather the pool just did not seem inviting (to me at least). Recommended.

Love the place.
Fantastic place to spend a couple of days. 15 mins drive from the airport and close to the table mountain. The service was amazing. We had a short stay but had a great old time. The manager allowed us to stay longer than the check out time since we had a late night ... The night before.

Very nice boutique hotel
I spent one night for business at Banksia Boutique. Nice and quiet ,makes for a good night's sleep. The Service was very good ,the staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast very good too. Bathroom door handle needs to be fixed and an 2-pin adaptor for mobile phone charging should be placed permanently in the room.

Gorgeous hotel, central to everything, classy staf
I would recommend. It is in a neighborhood and sort of hidden, but gorgeous when you are inside. Only thing is that while they have a hot tub and spa, I was not able to use either because the hot tub was always cold and the spa was only open until 6pm and I was always sightseeing by day and wanted to use the spa at night. The best was the breakfast buffet... amaaaazing. Great place overall. Very friendly and professional staff.

日本から滞在しましたが、スタッフの方の素晴らしい対応と温かさに感謝しています。食べるところがないためウォーターフロントにいくかウーバーイーツ「あまりおいしくなかった」を頼むべきかと思います。周りにはなにもないため、観光を楽しんでウーバーで戻ってください。夜中は鍵をかけられてしまうので、何か必要なものは全て購入してからホテルに行くことをお勧めします。とても治安が良く、素晴らしいホテルでした！
