Amazing stay. Made a smart choice of going there after a few days in the noisy and buzzy Cape Town. The staff at phakalane was amazing. The place is so zen and you really get to enjoy silence, with just nature sounds. The naps there are unmatched!

Phakalane is a true sanctuary. We spend a few nights here after busy days in Cape Town and enjoyed it very much. It’s a peaceful place where everyone can find his or her spot to relax. The facilities are beautiful and a highlight that can be enjoyed on its own - but you’re still close enough to Cape Town’s attractions to do some sightseeing (though the temptation and option to not leave Phakalane is definitely there). Phakalanes location feels remote, but Uber still works (even though it might take some more time than you’re used to depending on when you’re ordering). Same for Uber Eats, works without issues. Breakfast is included and while there’s no huge variety, it’s tasty and completely appropriate for the small amount of guests (bread, butter, jam, cheese, yoghurt, fruit, muesli, warm egg option). We also booked a few activities linked to Phakalane (e.g. yoga, healing, etc.) and this very much contributed to our great experience. The staff is very friendly and not always around - this can add to the peaceful experience, but could also be weird, depending on personal preferences.
We experienced a couple of very hot days. Despite the facilities being so modern, there‘s no AC in the rooms. We received a fan and this helped a bit to cool the room down, but as we‘re rather sensitive to heat at night, we still missed AC.
