Thank you for these relaxing and inspiring days! We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at The Dongola Guesthouse. Located next to a nature reserve corridor, it is a wonderful place to sit outside close to the pool and enjoy the peaceful environment. Karin and Claudio, the owners, are kind hosts who personally care about the infrastructure, all the workflow and especially about the wellbeing of their guests. Together with their well managed team they create a perfect experience. The trustful atmosphere and pragmatic advices lead to carefree days and undisturbed pleasure. Natalie presents the good spirit of the house since many years - I especially loved her breakfast with eggs and salmon! Usually, we do not depend on any special advices during our trips to foreign countries. Claudio understands to reflect the very personal preferences of his guests and gives appropriate recommendations where to go, where to drive and where to stop. We appreciated all your hints, Claudio! Enjoying the sunset at the terrace at Strand was just one of the great experiences we would have missed without your guidance. Thank you for these relaxing and inspiring days! We will be back. Best wishes, Martin and Andrea

I had the most incredible time at Dongola House! Our stay was beyond amazing, and it wasn't just because of the spacious and impeccably clean rooms that were tended to every day. The experience was elevated to new heights by the extraordinary hosts and staff. Natalie, in particular, stood out as a genuinely warm and kind individual who consistently checked in on us, ensuring our comfort and happiness throughout our stay. The breakfasts at Dongola House were not only delicious but also served promptly, setting the tone for each day. The variety of options available was simply astounding. What truly amazed me was the meticulous attention to detail that the staff exhibited. They even noticed my preference against bananas without me having to mention it – talk about going the extra mile! The small touches truly made this trip unforgettable. From thoughtfully setting out two cups for my mother and me to being readily available to cater to our needs, the entire team demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication to our satisfaction. What's more, our room was graciously upgraded without any extra charge, allowing my mother and me to stay right next to each other. Even though we visited during the winter when occupancy was low, the exceptional level of service remained consistent and outstanding. I can only imagine how stunning Dongola House would be in the summer – a true home away from home, no matter the season. To sum it up, Dongola House offers an experience that goes above and beyond expectations. With its remarkable hosts, top-notch staff, and attention to even the smallest details, it's an oasis of comfort and luxury. My mother and I would undoubtedly choose to stay here again, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable getaway.

A hidden treasure in beautiful Constantia

The Dongola is a beautiful guesthouse in a very safe, very quiet part of Constantia. The rooms are all separated so it seems like you have the place to yourself, the breakfasts are perfect, and the hospitality is fantastic. Groot Constantia estate is a nice distance walk away through the vineyards, and ubers are very easy to get around here in case walking back is a struggle..! If we were to visit Constantia again, we'd definitely stay at the Dongola!

No complaints at all!

Overall great experience, small improvements.

Breakfast was Amazing. The efford made to leave food in the Kitchen for us, when we had to run the Two oceans Marathon early was great. Friendliness of yourself and Staff was really nice. The room was nice and clean and the bed and pillows comfortable.

Suggestion to owner: Place water in room every day, not only on arrival. Make sure there is enough toiletpaper. Your TV plug is on during loadshedding, but the DSTV is not working, I suggest linking as the TV is already on. Suggest booking guests in via front door and not at the back, it is just much more impressive (First impressions). Replacing your blankets with new ones. Garden Staff, not answering phone calls next to rooms where guests are perhaps trying to take a nap.

Great stay at Dongola guesthouse

Great stay at Dongola. Hosts are very friendly. This place was renovated a year ago and its beautiful and well maintained. One of the best breakfasts we had during our 3,5week trip through SA. Quiet place to relax and enjoy the nearby wineries in Constantia. We can reconmend this place to everyone and we will come back should we SA in the future.
