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 :)

Fantastic Stay
Stayed here with my mum as part of our trip to Cape Town. The area of Green Point was quite central to the V&A which we loved. The hotel had such an open, friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and the rooms, reception, pool and bar area is so chilled out and lovely to relax in. I would certainly stay here again, and recommend Head South Lodge to anyone who comes to visit Cape Town, regardless of the duration of their stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
They'll take all your money if you cannot arrive.
Be careful paying in advance because if anything happens to you to cause you not to be able to go, you will not get any refund. Instead you'll get pointed to some obscure t's and c's and a blunt email. I did not like the experience. I'm not asking for favours, but a slightly sympathetic tone to the business like email would have been appreciated, even if you help yourself to 100% of the bill for a non-arrival. Very disappointed.

GREAT. Great stay with a amazing location to do just about everything in Cape Town. Ubers were awesome and extremely affordable to locations we ventured to.(Clifton Beach, V&A Waterfront, and Table Mountain) Amazing staff with a great breakfast. ESPRESSO machine saved our lives. hahah were coffee addicts so that in itself was perfect!
