Wonderland Boutique Retreat & Spa

Féérique

Nous pensions pouvoir y dîner sans avoir a cuisiner nous même. Nous aurions apprécier savoir qu'il y avait beaucoup de marches.

It’s 100% unique

What's not to like about this place, staff friendly and helpful, hidden gem, views, quite, food really good

Nothing

The Host Elle was great, the facilities live up to its name providing unique experience , wish I could have stayed longer

Probably not much could be done , but the wooden floor creates discomfort if you below another unit where guests above walks up and down a lot during the night hours

Es war außergewöhnlich. Die Mitarbeiter sind super nett und man sollte sich auf das besondere Angebot einlassen.

Das Anwesen entführt einen in eine Welt der Phantasie. Doch es ist zu voll gestellt. Weniger ist einfach Mehr.

We LOVED EVERYTHING about Wonderland. It was the perfect birthday surprise for my husband, and unlike anywhere he could have ever imagined or expected. The warm, homely atmosphere made it the ideal place to relax and unwind. We also got to enjoy spending time in the comfortable lounge, watching the rugby with the beautiful, friendly dogs who added so much love and homeliness to the experience. For such a large property, everything was exceptionally clean. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the amenities were of excellent quality. Every detail contributed to a feeling of comfort and luxury. In short, we truly felt like royalty staying in the King's Chamber I was unexpectedly on crutches during our stay and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy everything the property had to offer, BUT the staff were incredibly accommodating and so kind, which made me feel much more confident and comfortable getting around. Their genuine friendliness and willingness to help made our stay even more special. Wonderland exceeded our expectations in every way, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. We cant wait to return! :-)

The fact that we had to leave lol

My stay at Wonderland Retreat & Spa was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the incredible architecture and design of the property. The entire retreat feels like a work of art, with so many unique spaces and hidden corners to explore that every walk around the grounds revealed something new and interesting. At night, the beautiful lighting transforms the property into a true fairytale setting. The atmosphere is peaceful, enchanting, and incredibly rejuvenating. Simply being in that space brought a sense of calm, joy, and relaxation. I stayed in the Celestial Suite, which was absolutely stunning. Having a private balcony and access to a rooftop area made the experience even more special. The views of the surrounding mountains and nature were breathtaking from both locations. The tranquillity of the setting is hard to put into words, and watching the sun set behind the mountain range was one of the highlights of my stay. The hospitality throughout my visit was exceptional. Olivia and Mel at reception were warm, welcoming, and always willing to assist with any questions. Their friendly and professional service immediately made me feel at home. Teddy at the bar was fantastic, creating delicious signature cocktails and going out of his way to ensure guests had a great experience. I also treated myself to the Wonderland Relaxation Massage with Thandi, who was outstanding. The treatment was deeply relaxing and helped release a great deal of stress and tension. Wonderland Retreat & Spa is a place that nourishes the soul. Between the spectacular setting, exceptional staff, luxurious accommodation, and peaceful atmosphere, it is a destination I would highly recommend to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and experience something truly unique. I cannot wait to return.

Nothing comes to mind. Place is perfect.

This was an absolutely magical experience....Ny wife and I really needed a switch off and break away and this was perfect 👌

the interest value of actual place was great, you don't feel like you are in the city.

Its more than I would normally be able to afford

We felt like being in a fairy tale. Everything was perfect. We are coffee addicts and always ordered coffee. Someone is working there just to make you coffees whenever you want. We loved the two saunas. One with a Mountain View and the other one has a view onto fishes in a pond. The room was spacious and quiet and so cozy. It’s truly a special place. I cuddled the dogs a lot. Even if you are living in Cape Town it’s a dream to have a little getaway, because you feel like you are in a wonderland.

The breakfast was slightly pricey for what you get, but absolutely delicious—definitely worth it in the end. The location is perfect, surrounded by beautiful trees with breathtaking sunrise and sunset views. Every corner of Wonderland Cape Town has something quirky and magical to discover, which made our stay feel unique and memorable.

Next time, I would choose a room without guests above us, as the noise from footsteps on the wooden deck made it difficult to sleep. The Zen room could also use a bit of maintenance—the shower was blocked, the TV and ceiling lights weren’t working, and there was no hairdryer as advertised (so I had to rely on the wind!). These are all minor, fixable issues though, and didn’t take away from the overall experience.

One of the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at, the house feels like a oasis inside the jungle, a work of art where the building combines in harmony with nature. We particularly liked all the facilities at the location, many seating areas, pool, jacuzzis, gym, sauna view aquarium views, fireplace, cozy living and working area.

De locatie / natuur is geweldig

Hygiene laat ten wensen over Verouderde infrastructuur - dringend aan renovatie Personeel / management niet on point > Hier is dringend vernieuwing nodig

Vous avez un endroit très beau. Le cadre, la décoration, la cheminée, l'acceuil, le personnel et les équipements étaient très apréciable

Nous avions pensé que le dîner pouvait être proposé car nous étions venus en vacances, et nous n'avions pas de véhicules. Les restaurants sont éloignés et les ubereats n'ont pas fonctionné pour nous. On entandait les bruits de la chambre au dessus.

We loved everything about this place! Staff, food, location, vibe, room, the dogs. Honestly 10/10

Not applicable.

Alles

The location really is called Wonderland for a reason. It is so special it makes you forget the rest of the world instantly. Truly magical place.

There was nothing that could have been done better. All was exquisite.

We had a wonderful stay at Wonderland! The welcome was incredibly warm, and we felt at home right away. The property and especially the garden are absolutely beautiful, with so many lovely and unique details. It was a truly great experience – we would definitely recommend it.

The quirkiness and very peaceful

Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht

- Великолепный номер с огромной террасой (мы брали самый большой номер на верхнем этаже и даже специально подстроили даты под время, когда этот номер был свободен). Номер абсолютно оправдал ожидания. Единственный минус, который я считаю стоит поправить хозяину отеля - это туалет. Он стоит прямо посередине комнаты и фактически не огорожен, и если вы приезжаете парой, то пользоваться им невозможно. И лучше идти в общественный на другом этаже. - мы попали на выходные, в субботу проводилась йога и pool party. Было много гостей не из отеля. Сначала это пугало. Но в итоге было довольно весело и атмосферно, т.к. было много молодежи, все очень дружелюбные. Однако стоит учитывать такую особенность, возможно, далеко не всем понравится - удобное расположение, в целом доброжелательный персонал - в целом атмосфера Бали. А на Бали очень много плюсов и минусов. Если не любите Бали- вам не сюда - посмотрите фото - это все фото номера

- Как выше написала - туалет посередине номера - мы были всего 2 ночи, но не было уборки ни разу. Возможно, надо было ее запрашивать, и сами они не убирают - жалюзи на окнах, которые разваливались, и плохо работали - были проблемы при заселении, нас встретил охранник и не понимал, куда заселить - завтраки довольно скромные. Нужно быть готовым к этому Однако несмотря на эти минусы, я бы точно его советовала и вернулась бы снова. Потому что сам по себе отель уникален и очень красив. Постарайтесь забронировать самый большой номер. Обязательно для посещения хотя бы на пару дней

We had a very bad experience and would not recommend this place to anyone. On the day we checked in, there was a huge influencer event taking place with large crowds. We were not informed about this in advance - something that would have been fair and transparent before booking - and as a result we felt very unwelcome, as if we were interrupting someone else’s private party. On top of that, all facilities were overcrowded, even though we paid a significant amount of money specifically for a relaxing stay with spa and pool access. Our room had a private balcony and jacuzzi, yet people completely ignored this and repeatedly walked across our balcony and past our room, even after being told it was private. Very rude. The swimming pool was dirty, with cloudy, green water, and the jacuzzis were also unhygienic (our private one was cleaned by two very nice guys - that was kind) Being a guesthouse rather than a hotel is not a valid excuse for these issues. At this price point, a much higher standard of privacy, hygiene, and communication should be expected. Overall, this was a huge disappointment and a waste of our time, experience, and the hundreds of euros we spent. PS: We raised these concerns with the staff, but no solution was offered.

It’s the most unique and wonderful place we’ve stayed at by far. The whole property is stunning and rooms are beautifully designed with so much detail. The staff was lovely and breakfast was great. The room (we stayed in the Smaragd suite) was gorgeous.

Unfortunately the shower was broken and didn’t get fixed while we were there even though I sent them another message on WhatsApp about it. The sauna & gym are quite run down and dirty so it wasn’t really pleasant to use. The jacuzzis were so dirty we couldn’t use them either. We were really hoping to enjoy a nice spa but unfortunately that wasn’t possible because of all these issues. For that it felt a bit over priced however overall we still had a magical experience and would come again but the place definitely needs some TLC.

Pool, jacuzzis, mountain views, lounge areas.

Room was very noisy. Could hear other guests arrive back and walking around at night.

Das schönste Guesthouse in dem ich jemals übernachtet habe!

Alles war perfekt!

Unique property ideal for relaxing on first few days of honeymoon.

Breakfast offering was quite basic for the standard of property.

Magical setting and beautiful interior design!

Unfortunately the geyser broke in our room but we were moved to another room, with a terrace so that was lovely!

Die Unterkunft hat eine schöne Lage und ist mit viel Detail eingerichtet.

Der Inhaber wirkte sehr unfreundlich und hat uns nicht einmal begrüßt. Die übrigen Angestellten waren zwar deutlich freundlicher, insgesamt haben wir in anderen Hotels jedoch einen besseren Service erlebt. Zudem war das Frühstück an keinem Tag zu den angegebenen Zeiten verfügbar und die Wartezeit war jedes Mal sehr lang. Auch die Auswahl war eher begrenzt. Während unseres zweitägigen Aufenthalts wurde außerdem kein Roomservice angeboten.

It’s a unique location and very beautiful. I like the 24 hour access to facilities and very spacious room. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

It would be great if the served more meals at the venue. During our stay there was only breakfast served but lots of restaurants close by.

Das Wonderland ist wirklich einzigartig und einen Besuch wert! Wir waren mehr als begeistert.

Die Massage war für den Preis in SA eher mittelmäßig.

Unique architecture/design as shown in the photos, good location and beautiful views of mountain scenery. Easy access to local sights and amenities by car. If you are looking for a hostel/group party sort of venue this would probably be fine.

If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience (as we were, based on the price) you will not find it here. The vibe is more of a hostel/ house share among guests. We had some issues checking in as we were shown to the wrong room and then our correct room was hastily and poorly cleaned which we complained about and it had to be cleaned again. Mistakes happen but this was not handled very well by management. Breakfasts were chaotic with coffee and other facilities not being readily available and an ad hoc approach to service and taking orders for hot food. There was not even a fridge in the room. Our room contained a large thick rug which felt perpetually unclean. The room had a lovely wrap around balcony and rooftop hot tub however these facilities had no privacy and people having breakfast could easily see you coming out onto the balcony (for example in the morning) to enjoy the view. The room in general completely lacked privacy (having a full wall of windows) which is unromantic; even the bathroom was overlooked having unfrosted windows from the shower area looking directly into another room. We found this incredibly strange and uncomfortable. There was no gate/barrier to separate the balcony off and people walked across it randomly. This was a disappointing and overpriced stay for us; definitely the worst accommodation we have visited in South Africa as in our experience the standard is generally high especially at this price point staying in a premium room.

It’s such a feat of architecture and so unique. It had so many amazing things in it, all in 1 family home that was built in the early 2000s. The Koi pond all around the foundations, the huge living area with a gorgeous fireplace was so romantic, the clamshell sinks in the eternal suite and the view were stunning! The dogs were sooo sweet and lovely. The gym was fab!

I wasn’t going to leave a review tbh however i believe unless people say something, the owners may not truly realise and won’t be able to make it better for future guests. It is a nice place, it’s just everything has a “BUT” In theory the pool is cool, a zip line, diving board and slides BUT The pool area was tired, there wasn’t many pool lounge pillows, the water was discoloured and not at all clean, there was dog and bird poo in the pool and around the decking. The decking was the same old wood from being first built which explained the splinters we got. The zip line and everything seems like a good idea until you realise it’s in the same wood from 20 years ago and isn’t really stable, also landing in the dirty pool wouldn’t have been fun. We booked the eternal suite for one of the nights because it had a private hot tub but when we got there it was really quite disgusting, the water was murky, the tiles were broken and heavily discoloured and the staff explained it would just be “easier” to use the shared hot tub instead, despite that being the reason we booked that room. It was quite disheartening because we felt we spent a lot of money on that and was disappointed but we tried to not let it affect our stay. We then thought ok let’s use the shared hot tub BUT we took the cover off and the water absolutely stank of hot faeces and there was a film of oil over the water, obviously the water was not maintained with proper chemicals. The eternal suite did have a very strong “sweet” smell that was quite off putting, not sure that could be helped though. We went to go make a coffee in the kitchen and there water full of algae in the water tank… i tried to clean it but couldn’t without sufficient products, then went to put the water tank in the dishwasher to use at a later time and there was plates left in the dishwasher that must have been there a long time…. there was fluffy grey mold growing on the food/sauce that hadn’t been rinsed off the plate.

Incredibile property - it really personifies its name “Wonderland”. There is so much to explore and discover with lots of space to relax and feel at home too. Finding out it was built as someone’s home was fascinating, and it’s quite unique in the fact that it still feels and is being operated like a guesthouse, with shared kitchen, lounge and communal areas. I could have spent longer here. The main girl on reception (who is also one of the spa therapists) was lovely, made us welcome and clearly cared about the property and our whole experience.

It seems like a mammoth task to maintain this property as it’s so vast and unique, so I forgive some of its shortcomings in its first year of operations - there are worn out areas around the property, some oddly placed hot tubs (that may need more regular cleaning), and breakfast could have been more exciting. Non of which would put us off returning though - we loved every moment in that house!

Das ist kein Hotel, es ist eine Erfahrung.

wat een prachtig artistiek sprookjesachtig complex, helemaal ingebouwd in het groen, met bij iedere stap die je doet een ohh of ahh. Je kijkt je ogen uit hier. We hadden een prachtige kamer met een overheerlijk bed en on top een eigen jacuzi, met uitzicht op de bergen. Je waant je heerlijk in een sauna omgeving waar de rust vanaf straalt. In de ochtend werd een heerlijk ontbijt voor je gemaakt. Het complex heeft 2 superlieve honden die overal achteraan drentelen en zelfs lekker bij je gaan liggen als je ze aandacht geeft. grote parkeergarage aanwezig. En dan de gezamelijke ruimten , het zwembad, gym, sauna te veel om op te noemen

Het is eigenlijk geen klacht, maar wat ons betreft had de jacuzi een iets lagere temperatuur mogen hebben dan de ingestelde 42 graden. Dat was echt erg warm.

Die Lage zum selbst Auto fahren war super und sehr zentral zu den einzelnen Weingebieten

Das Frühstück war sehr einfach, das kann man besser machen.

unglaublich schönes Haus und Garten

Loved everything about it. Fun and quirky accommodation. Amazing staff.

Eine sehr spannende Unterkunft mit unglaublich vielen spielerischen Details. Das Wonderland ist eine Unterkunft für Abenteurer. Es gibt sehr viel zu entdecken im Haus und auf dem Grundstück. Die Räumlichkeiten und das Grundstück bieten sehr viel Platz für Privatsphäre. Die Lage ist sehr gut und bietet sich an für Wanderungen auf dem Tafelberg. Mit dem Auto ist man schnell am Strand und in der Stadt.

Die Unterkunft ist auf jeden Fall in die Jahre gekommen und benötigt an einigen Stellen eine Auffrischung. Möbel, Terrassen, Elektrik, Beschaffenheit Whirlpool, Ausstattung allgemein etc. Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. In Kapstadt bekommt man für das Geld durchaus mehr geboten. Sauberkeit: Es gibt zwei süße Mitbewohner(Hunde) die total lieb sind. Die beiden sind jedoch auf jedem Sofa auch ohne Anwesenheit präsent.

It’s all in the name - a Wonderland

The interior, the views, the rooms, it is exceptional

Most magical place, something interesting everywhere you turn, loved every minute, will be back for sure!

Une demeure magnifique dont la décoration est soignée et riche dans toutes les pièces et dans les extérieurs. Le personnel est à l'écoute et agréable.

Rien. Peut être le petit déjeuner où le buffet pourrait être un peu plus diversifié. Mais les demandes sont gérées par le personnel

This guesthouse is truly something else, like stepping straight into a fairy tale! It is even more beautiful and enchanting then on the pictures and on Instagram. You could spend days just exploring the house, its beautifully decorated common areas, the lush garden, and the pool area. There’s something new and charming to discover around every corner. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and genuinely made us feel at home. The resident dogs are so lovely you’ll actually miss them after you leave. The spa treatments were exceptional, and if you get the chance, book the Vespa tour with Sven. It’s an unforgettable experience! We’re already looking forward to visiting again.

Honestly, the only thing we didn’t like was that our time there had to end.

Place is stunning

Must serve a dinner

Beautiful garden with relaxing areas to find quiet spots and spa with sauna on the premises. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Interesting decor and cozy feel to the stay.

The R500 cleaning fee that was added. Creaking wooden floors can be disturbing if you are a light sleeper.

The spa was amazing. Bed - sleep quality amazing Staff, again amazing Loved the live in dogs. They gave me comfort from being away from my dogs Massage. Did couples massage, was 100 % the best. The koi fish ponds on the either side. Feeling like a dungeon/ seller was the best. The green bathroom was amazing. You could look for a long time, and still find something interesting to see.

No fridge and kettle /coffee station in the room. In the room we stayed, tub not conducive to a relaxing bath. No head space. No place to sit before you get in.

The place is incredibly amazing , the vibe, the rooms, THEIR BREAKFAST IS DELICIOUS, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and always asking us in the morning how was our sleep. The place is safe too and you feel like you’re at your home🥹💗 definitely will come back again

Das Frühstück war super mit leckeren regionalen Produkten. Super schönes Ambiente mit sehr nettem Personal. Aussicht und Garten sind ‚Beautiful‘

Unique and beautiful property! Our room was spacious and wonderful, amazing bath and bonus outdoor shower. The sauna with fish tank was a huge treat. Large, unique pool. Beauty and surprises around every corner of the property!

Unfortunately our jacuzzi never heated up which was a huge disappointment for us. Our room had a mold smell, this might have been due to us visiting in winter. Breakfast was odd. We found milk in the fridge to make ourselves coffee. There was some muesli, jogurt and fruit. When we asked how breakfast works we were told it is continental but we can also ask for bacon and eggs. When we asked for bacon and eggs the request was not taken to well. After eating the bacon and eggs there was croissants and fresh bread (with no butter). This was close to 10am and we were already on our way. No one greeted us when we left and no one offered to assist with our luggage. Maybe we were just unlucky but I expected a bit more for the price we paid. The establishment did note my concerns, they said they will investigate to better future guest's stay. So hopefully they do :)

The guesthouse is magical, every nook and cranny is thought out to fit perfectly together. The staff is wonderful and friendly, the facilities are great, and it feels like you're escaping the real world!

A casa é incrível, muito única e cheia de detalhes maravilhosos, nunca estive em um lugar tão diferente e bem pensado. Os anfitriões foram muito gentis ao permitirem nosso check in adiantado. O quarto é uma obra de arte a parte, decoração mágica. Os outros aposentos da casa são muito divertidos, tem muita coisa pra fazer, bem equipado e estilizado. Os cachorros são uma graça e muito educados. Banheira maravilhosa. O café da manhã foi bom. Tem ótimas vinícolas bem próximas ao hotel.

Acredito que se tivesse opção de almoço e jantar na acomodação seria muito bom pois pra quem está sem carro não tem lugares de acesso a pé. No entanto delivery funciona muito bem e de carro tem muitas opções próximas. Sobre o quarto seria interessante se tivesse frigobar e mais iluminação. Como era nossa lua de mel esperávamos alguma decoração especial ou um mimo mas em geral fomos bem recebidas e gostamos muito da estadia. Nosso netflix não funcionou na TV e nossa jacuzzi externa precisava de certa manutenção.

The space is aesthetically pleasing with so much character . Epitome of Luxury and very well appointed!

No Restuarant !

Gastvrijheid, prachtige locatie en kamers.

From the moment I stepped into Wonderland Boutique Guesthouse & Spa, I knew I had found something extraordinary. This is not just a hotel — it’s the result of 25 years of dedication, vision, and love, a masterpiece crafted with patience and passion. Every corner tells a story, and every detail reflects the heart of its creators. The place is cozy and intimate, with a warm charm that instantly makes you feel at home. Surrounded by lush greenery in every direction, it feels like nature is embracing you. The bar is a perfect spot to unwind, with a relaxed atmosphere that invites great conversations. And of course, the two lovely dogs are always there to greet you with pure joy — adding a unique, homely touch you won’t find elsewhere. Meeting the owner, Safiyah, was one of the highlights of my stay. Her mindset toward constantly upgrading the place, her eye for detail, and her love of music are truly inspiring. She sees her guesthouse as a living, evolving work of art — and you can feel that energy in every space. For me, Wonderland is not just accommodation; it’s an experience, a feeling, and, as I told Safiyah, “a stolen part from paradise.”

How dare you, Booking.com, even ask me this question?! 🤨 It’s like asking “What don’t you like about heaven?” there is no answer! Every moment at Wonderland was pure joy, and if I had to complain about anything… it would be that I eventually had to leave!

Unique experience.

Stunning, magical property with absolutely everything you could possibly want. There are incredible views of the surrounding mountains, and it is designed to be a real life wonderland. Loved every minute!

The place is out of this world
