Dunvegan Lodge

Beautiful little lodge in the mountains… some lovely walking routes nearby and a range of food deliveries were available!

My wife and I, on a recommendation from Birding Pals, stayed at Dunvegan Lodge for 10 days. Lisa and Wayne are the proprietors, and it didn't take long for us to feel very much at home. Lisa and Wayne are wonderful people and we now count them as friends. They went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and memorable. The accommodations are wonderful, and the nice touch of electric blankets during the winter was so nice. The Lodge grounds are very beautifully landscaped, and welcoming to many interesting birds. Lisa keeps bird feeders going, and we always made it a point to see what South African birds were visiting. Past the feeders, there are trails through the natural area. The birding is good. We saw a lot of cool species as Cape grassbird and Southern double-collared sunbird. The Fynbos plant community is so interesting. Dunvegan Lodge is very close to Fish Hoek and the restaurants and shops there. We look forward to returning and most definitely will stay there again.

A truly stunning location. Beautiful Mountain views a short walk to the beach, hiking trails and situated close to Cape Town’s coolest seaside village, Kak Bay on one side and the route to Simon’s Town and Cape Point National Park. Lisa and Wayne, the proprietors and their amazing staff are warm, kind and welcoming. Having stayed in three of the rooms there's one thing in common, comfortable beds, fluffy pillows and soft dreamy duvets. Everything you need is there. A small kitchenette if you want to cook and an espresso machine to start your day off on the right track. The pool and garden provide the perfect setting to chill in the sun or shade, have a Braii or a campfire. I truly can't say enough good things having states dozens of guest houses in the Western Cape. This is a true gem.

We absolutely loved our family of 4s self catering weekend stay at the African Attic, Dunvegan Lodge. Our hosts Sylvia and Pete were super helpful and always available when we needed them. The accommodation was clean and neat with toiletries in both bathrooms. The kitchen had a lovely coffee station, condiments, and milk. A lovely plate of fresh muffins awaited us in the lodge when we arrived. The beds were very comfortable with cosy white cotton linen. Beautiful mountain and valley views from every window. Our stay was wonderfully calming away from the hustle and bustle. Loved the birdsong in the morning and mountain walks. It was very windy the weekend we were there but it didn't take away any of the magic the accommodation has to offer. Will definitely go there again for a second stay.
