Loved our room and the entire hotel. I believe there were only 2 other guest rooms occupied when we were there in late March 2026. Breakfast was delightful and Rizea was particularly nice to pack us a to go breakfast when we needed to leave early in the morning on our first day there. Loved the glassed enclosure and the beautiful indoor gardens. We’d definitely stay there again!

Beautiful quiet hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but just a short ride away by Uber. The staff are exceptional and extremely helpful - especially Joy who always greeted us in the morning with a huge smile. There is a great choice on offer for breakfast and the food is really good. Would certainly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful stay

Lovely stay at Banksia. The team who work here are all fantastic, super friendly and relaxed.
The guesthouse itself is a beautiful old house with heaps of beautiful original features. It’s in a residential, nice part of town but only about 15-20 min drive from camps bay/v&a area.
The spa is very nice, we had a great facial and massage.
Thanks team banksia!

horrible does not deserve the star rating

Stay was extremly deceictful. hotel does not deserve the rating it has

Upon check in I was escourted to my room only to discover the establishment does not have any elevators or lifts, walked up 2 flights of stairs to my room and the room has no airconditioner. I advised the assistant manager and he asked me to walk back down and wait for him to find me a room with an airconditioner

he than made me walk back up the stairs to another room where the bathroom was horrific, the taps were loose and the shower door did not close, it was both a sunken shower and sunken bath which could easily pass for 2 star.

the room door was a funny key and did not even lock properly

the floors were wooden so you could hear when other ppl were moving around

the pool was green not swimmable and jacuzzi empty

If i were informed of this would have never booked this

When I did mention the star rating to the asistant manager I was told it is a boutique hotel and not normal hotel

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😊

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.

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.

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！
