The room was spacious.and beautiful...the bathroom is amazing and the location 😍

Отель хороший. Находится в прекрасном, тихом и безопасном районе. Вокруг много зелени. Сам отель находится от центра Кейптауна 20 мин езды на машине. Мы были в зимнее время для ЮАР (т.е. в начале августа), поэтому в номерах холодно, несмотря на то что в номерах есть кондиционеры. Завтрак был превосходным. Очень дружелюбный и вежливый персонал. Вообщем рекомендую этот отель.
В номерах холодно, несмотря на то что есть кондиционеры. Походу они вообще не работают. Мне кажется нужно их отремонтировать должным образом.
The place is nice, quiet and comfortable. Surround by nature and greenery. Spacious for a family.
Spacious rooms and apartments. Great breakfasts!

WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE. Highly recommend, the staff is so kind and supportive. The residence is beautiful and you really can relax and have everything you need. In my opinion, the pictures don't show just how beautiful it truly is. Very big and comfy rooms, delicious breakfast, helpful staff, amazing bathroom and overall superb facilities. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Nothing. The only thing I would mention is for people not knowing the traffic in Capetown is this: Constantia is a bit further out from the city, i there is no traffic it won't take you more than 25min though and Uber is very convenient and affordable. However, during rush hour it can take up way longer. But this has nothing to do with the accomodation itself.
The staff were wonderful, friendly and accomodating. Food at breakfast was excellent. Our room was large, spacious, very comfortable. We spent a very happy anniversay there. I highly recommend it, it is a gem in Constantia. We walked from the guest house through a Vineyard to Groot Constantia. Views from our room are great. Thank you to all the staff who made it such an amazing place.
Clean, spacious

Peaceful garden, very helpful staff, Lee was very accommodating and helpful and the views were lovely.
Our stay at Nova Constantia was blissfully relaxing from start to finish. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist — their warmth truly enhanced the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the hearty breakfast, and the crystal-clear pool was the perfect place to unwind. The establishment is well equipped to accommodate both groups and individuals seeking tranquility away from the bustle of city life. With its undeniable charm and close proximity to excellent restaurants — from casual dining spots to award-winning chefs — the location is simply ideal. The added touches, including tennis courts, a pizza oven, and a giant big screen for sporting events, make it feel like a true home away from home — and more. Thank you, Nova Constantia. This is certainly a place to return to whenever visiting Cape Town.
Suite was very comfortable.
Upon arrival very poor welcome by the lady behind the desk. Totally not coöperative, interested or guest friendly. We obviously disturbed her while sleeping. There is NO PORTER service so you have to carry your luggage yourself and clime a steep stairway. For more than €300 per night you might expect someone to assist you. The garage door next to the entrance was wide open both when we arrived and when we left. We were treated with a view of laundry baskets, laundry drying racks and cleaning stuff you don't want to see when you enter a hotel, very strange and not very inviting. The room was very spacious and so was the separate shower and bathroom but everything is very dark and to our opinion a bit out dated. Heavy dark brown curtains, dark brown furniture and bed and carpet on the floor. The hotel is populair among retired english couples. For us it felt like we were in a retirement home. Breakfast was good, friendly kitchen staff and so was the manager.
Fantastic property, amazing room, delicious breakfast and Lee is the absolute best host you can ask for!
Nothing at all, it was perfect!
Dejlige senge
Restaurant bediening kan beter en ook assortiment

My husband and I have just spent 3 very enjoyable relaxing weeks at Nova Constantia, a delightful boutique hotel which richly deserves its five star rating. We were in room 7 which is on the ground floor and ticked all the boxes. A very comfortable king size bed, spacious bathroom with separate lavatory and a dressing area with lots of hanging and storage. Also a small kitchenette area with microwave and fridge - very useful. It has its own small patio which gets the evening sun. Thank you to Lee and his team for making our stay so enjoyable.
We had the most wonderful stay at Nova Constantia Boutique Residence and honestly couldn’t have asked for more. We travelled as a family with our two children (7 and 10) and from the moment we arrived it felt like a true home away from home. The staff were absolutely amazing – so kind, attentive and genuinely caring, always ready to help with anything we needed. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made it such an easy and enjoyable stay with children. Breakfast was fantastic – fresh, delicious and something we all looked forward to each morning. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and beautifully maintained, and the overall experience felt thoughtful and personal rather than hotel-like. We left feeling rested, happy and already talking about when we’ll come back. We will definitely return and highly recommend this place, especially for families looking for a warm, calm and memorable stay.
De lieve mensen, ons appartement, zwembad, het heerlijke ontbijt en de rust.
Great property with amazing view. Beautiful bedrooms and welcoming staff.
Comfy beds, big rooms, nice staff
This place is more like a beautiful guest house rather then a hotel It comes up on google under "5 star hotel" which is totaly misleading Breakfast is basic and wouldn't say it's wow like some other reviews Little extra such as avocado, smoke salmon, or some vegetables can help
everything
breakfast
Was very good. Would have liked a bigger variety of bread.
Lovely residence in a quiet/safe location, excellent staffing:attentive and informative. W/in walking distance to some wineries. Worth considering if you are visiting the vineyards. Some (uber. etc) transportation will be needed for the "wine tour" or travel to Boulder Beach, etc
location
no restaurant
Nice area
Not a welcoming place. My family opted to forego breakfast at the facility after having had breakfast there on the first day of our 3 night stay.
Amazing customer service, super helpful and friendly staff. Our best stay in Cape Town in 15 years of coming here.
Close to the wine route, but also near the best restaurants and shops.
Second time staying here and we loved everything about this property!!!
Great hospitality, warm and efficient staff. Perfect dinner recommendation. Early departure we were treated to excellent coffee and breakfast. A must visit when travelling that direction.
Sehr sicher, sehr gut eingerichtete Zimmer, sehr sauber, Essen (Frühstück) toll mit Kamin und sehr sehr gut, ganz ganz nette Köchin, alles wirkt neu, sehr aufmerksamer und engagierter Manager
leider war die Kommunikation mit der Unterkunft sehr träge, wir haben sehr früh von unserer sehr späten Nachtanreise Bescheid gegeben, trotzdem war (technischer Defekt?!?) Niemand da und wir haben 45 Minuten vor der Tür gewartet 24 Uhr, wir waren kurz davor das wir noch ein Ausweichhotel suchten, dann ging die Tür doch auf. In Südafrika ist es schlecht Lärm und Lichthupe zu machen. Leider kam nur ein „sorry“. Dann ist leider der Warmwasserspeicher gering dimensioniert, wir waren die einzigen Gäste (zu dritt) und der letzte duscht immer kalt.
Staff were great, comfortable bed and breakfast variety was good.
Nothing
De bedden waren fantastisch!
Bij een meerdaags verblijf zou de vloer wel eens gestofzuigd/gedweild mogen worden. Witte kousen zagen zwart omdat de vloer niet helemaal proper was van bij aankomst. Tweede tip is het warm serveren van de pannenkoekjes.
My kids and I had an amazing time at Nova! Lee and his staff made us feel at home and welcomed. Our accommodation was spacious, clean and felt like a home away from home. Breakfast was delicious and the location was central, safe and secure. We will definitely be back!
Was only there for one night but really enjoyed the venue. Was well received by Coco and the room was great. I didn't stay for breakfast as I had to leave early but from what I saw it looked excellent.
Great hotel. Staff super attentive.
Staff is always helpful, the breakfast is great and the place is nice and quiet. Rooms are very spacious.
Beautiful location in leafy green Constantia, with easy access to the M3 and in proximity to the Constantia wine estates. We booked the apartment, which was very spacious and clean. It was a bit chilly for swimming, but the pool looked inviting. Tennis rackets and balls were made available for use on the tennis court. The hotel itself was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Staff Koko, Mary and Gladys were very friendly and accommodating. Gladys cooked us a delicious English Breakfast every day to our exact requests. Manager Lee kindly offered us a late check out, free of charge, as we had a late flight back to Europe.
My only real complaint was that there were several changes in floor level - no fewer than four between the bedroom and bathroom, which made late night toilet breaks a bit challenging. Possibly unsuitable for elderly guests. Bathroom décor perhaps a bit dated, but fully functional. Finally, while it was not an issue for us, be aware that there is very little privacy in the bedrooms, as the sliding screen doors separating the bedrooms from the lounge are more ornamental than functional and have large holes that you can see through. Also, in bedroom 2 there is a large gap above the gas fireplace (which no longer appears to be functional) so it is completely exposed to the lounge. I don't think the apartment would be suitable for unrelated guests or couples.
The staff were amazing. They made us feel at home and created a relaxed environment. The rooms were turned daily and not too early, which was great when wanting to sleep in. The kids had so much fun in the pool and playing tennis. A real home away from home place.
The family room was a bit stuffy, with condensation as the evenings gets cooler, but there is a heatpump to compensate for that.
The staff are super helpful and friendly. The chefs go out of their way to make mealtimes special. Lee - the manager - is the epitome of service excellence.
Nova Constantia Boutique Residence delivers intimate and effortlessly luxurious experience.
Comfortable, safe, friendly.
The open plan Bathroom is great for couples, but proved a challenge for our teenagers.
Everything felt as if you were staying in a private residence with friends. Very classy. Beautifully understated.
Hotel staff was extremely welcoming and supportive. I would recommend them to anyone traveling to Cape Town. This will be my forever hotel stay whenever I visit rooms are clean. Staff is courteous . Entire property is well maintained. I cannot complain about anything. Every interaction was pleasing you looking for luxury mixed with great service Nova constantia has it.
Thank you so much Nova Constantia, for providing such an important and memorable occasion for our wedding, serving as both our honeymoon accomodation and also bride preparation venue. You went the extra mile to accomodate all of our requirements and we will be eternally greatful for your wonderful service and great memories that you have provided us with. Wishing everything of the best to the management and staff of your great establishment.
Good location, staff very nice, friendly atmosphere. Very relaxing
The overall experience was oversold in the booking.com advertisement. I felt it was a glorious bed and breakfast venue perhaps more suited to business customers than paying tourists.
It was a wonderful stay! The room was spacious, clean, and equipped with all conveniences—even a coffee bean machine. The grounds were well maintained, with neatly trimmed grass and everything freshly painted. The staff served with a genuine smile, and the breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of choices, including a freshly cooked egg made to order. On the day of checkout, we were allowed to stay in the room without any issues until it was time to head to the airport

All staff are very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. The breakfasts are superb and we return here every time we're in Cape Town as it feels like our home from home. We love it here!
We love all of it
Quiet relaxing stay in this boutique residence. Situated in quiet area but close enough to travel to local wineries. Car essential but Ubers readily available if needed. Nice pool area and well stocked honesty bar available. Excellent breakfast with good continental selection and freshly cooked options made to order by chef.
Loungers by the pool not the most comfortable. Problem with no TV signal during our 2 day stay which was unable to be fixed.
Quiet location with great facilities and beautiful rooms with great views. The team were amazing as they were very accommodating with allowing us to have an early breakfast one morning, holding bags for us and allowing a later check out!

We stayed here for three nights (8th - 11th February) in Room 4 which was well appointed, extremely clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The residence itself is lovely with extremely friendly staff and Manager. It is also very quiet with a lovely pool to relax by & a tennis court if you are feeling a little more energetic. The breakfasts are freshly prepared by some lovely ladies - the best scrambled eggs in S.A! We very much enjoyed our stay here and it was the perfect way to recharge the batteries after travelling around S.A. on holiday. We will return!
Very styled, great place in a wonderful part in Constantia. Big rooms with all comfort and very friendly staffs! Perfect breakfast and also tennis court with pool! Great!
First time going here and it was the best. It feels like a home away from home. The pool is the perfect temperature, the lounges are amazing, it’s tucked in a stunning garden away from often windy Cape Town, the lunch was delicious and the service impeccable - thank you to Coco and Lee for making this day possible, just what I needed!
Great place to stay if you like it quite! Perfect and very friendly!
Only 35 min to Cape Town, traffic!
We had a great week here as soon as we arrived we were taken care of The hotel had a lovely homely feel all the staff went out of there way to be so very friendly Our bedroom was so nice really comfortable bed too Pool was a nice size all 5 stars all round Lee was very helpful in every way we will be going back 😊
Well located hotel in Constantia, with comfortable rooms, good swimming pool and friendly helpful staff.
A beautiful stay in a fantastic place! Highly recommended.
Truly exceptional. Felt like walking into a calm oasis. Welcoming, comfortable and very peaceful. I will certainly visit again!
A home away from home. This place really shocked us how beautiful it was. The rooms so well done and staff very attentive. Bed was comfortable and everything very clean. Breakfast was fresh and lovely. Would definitely recomend this place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy being in a quieter area with top notch service but close enough to things. Lots of local vinyards and easy to walk and taxi around.
If you’re looking for a quiet retreat, then this is a must visit guest house. Couldn’t fault anything here. Excellent facilities, honesty bar is such a nice touch, pool, is of a good size if you just want to relax and take a swim. Breakfast is superb, plenty of choices. Highly recommend a visit. Close to many good wineries… cheers.
We stayed with our family in the family appartement which is situated in the nice garden. Great pool, delicious breakfast, lovely surrounding.
The Nova Constantia Hotel is located in a very beautiful part of Cape Town. Away from the busy downtown but easily accessible being car. Quick drive to the V&A and the table mountain. The rooms were very beautiful and clean. The staff was very polite and friendly.
Breakfast was excellent Peaceful location with beautifully kept grounds.
Minor point - lovely, spacious ground floor suite was a little noisy when other guests (I think conference attendees) were using corridor and facilities immediately adjacent.
Ungenügende Reinigung. Concierge schlecht oder nicht erreichbar. Komfort entspricht sehr knapp 3-Sterne. Absprachen-Versprechen durch Managent werden nicht eingehalten. Diese Unterkunft hat höchstens 3*-Niveau. Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht!
Really nice property in a good location. Pool is excellent with great views of table mountain and the cape. Staff very friendly and helped arrange safari with transfer and hire car delivery. Close to Simon's town Borders penguin beech and the gardens ♥️
It’s always a pleasure to stay in Nova ! It’s very warm and the hospitality of staff is amazing. You feel at home when you stay here.
Very clean, comfortable and luxurious
