Unique property for an overnight stay. Enjoyed the extra touches especially the hot water bottles for a cold African night. We were able to leave our bags safely prior to check in while we went to the Cape, then our room became available so we had an unexpected early check in which was above and beyond. Thank you!

Colona Castle is an extremely unique hotel…it’s very old school with actual keys for rooms…views over Muizenburg were great, but the surrounding area felt kind of unsafe…breakfast was excellent…one thing that bothered me was that they advertised complimentary welcome drinks but then charged us for them…not a huge thing but still…rooms are very comfortable and bathrooms are excellent…we didn’t use the pool but it has a wonderful view….very close to beaches…if you’re looking to stay in Muizenburg or Kalk Bay I would recommend Colona Castle

Great hotel in Cape Town
Great hotel in a good location especially if you want to explore the beaches of Cape Town. The staff and service was exceptional. Note that it is potentially a bit more challenging if staying with younger children.

Honeymoon stay
Nicole and the staff was super helpful! Made our stay stress free. The staff would make breakfast fresh every morning to our liking. Stayed there for our honeymoon and would definitely would recommend this hotel. It is about 20 minute taxi ride to the town, but it is very peaceful and has such an amazing view of false bay, the ocean and table mountain away from city traffic.
