Beautiful location.
Leeward Lodge 's response
I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Please bear in mind that Leeward Lodge is self-catering accommodation, not a guest house.
We provide our guests with bed linen, towels, toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, coffee, tea, milk, etc. as a mere courtesy. We do not also provide personal toiletries as well.

Use the place 2 times a year. It was wonderful to vacation there.
I think the exterior needs some attention. The wood is weathered and dangerously covered with loose boards. But inside is all right.

Good value for money, clean and more than I expected.
I would recommend Leeward Lodge to anyone interested. It is very close to the sea and for the price I expected much less. Very nice stay and was able to stay nice and quiet for the 4 days.

Affordable and convenient.
We had a great time at Leeward Lodge. The units are spacious, especially for families or groups. Well located if you want to visit Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand, Cape Town and route to Hout Bay. The owner is very friendly and she received us very warmly. The washer and tumble dryer in the unit was a plus since we were touring for 19 days. We stayed in Leeward Lodge for a week and still couldn't do everything we had planned for Cape Town and the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend Leeward Lodge to guests who crave cheap and affordable accommodation.

Beste Theresa,
Dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer, dit was lekker om julle hier te kon ontvang. Dankie ook vir julle samewerking met Kaapstad se water krisis! Ons waterverbruik vir die tydperk van jul verblyf was nog binne die perke soos deur die stadsraad gestel, so julle het beslis jul kant gebring.

Unsafe building structure and not very clean.
Wooden deck unsafe. Injured my leg when one of the boards broke under me on Saturday morning. Wooden staircase's rails are both loose and the third step from the top is also loose. The upper floor's floor is also not sturdy. House urgently needs work. Someone is going to get hurt badly there.

Leeward Lodge 's response
Ek ontken dat die huis onstabiel en onveilig is en hierdie klagte is nog nooit deur enige iemand anders genoem in die afgelope 15 jaar van bedryf nie. Dit is vir my opmerklik dat julle die eerste gaste is wat 'n spoor van gebreekte meubels en struktuur agtergelaat het; 'n dek plank wat gebreek is, die basis van 'n bed wat gebreek is, 'n eetkamer stoel met 'n gebreekte poot en 'n stortdeur wat losgeruk is. Dit is duidelik dat Leeward Lodge se fasiliteite en struktuur nie vir julle opgewasse was nie. Verder voel ek die die kneus wat jy opgedoen het na jy my dek gebreek het, beswaarlik 'n ernstige besering is.
Dit is ook opmerklik dat die gradering wat Joeline al die aspekte gee ook nie deur enige ander gas se gradering ondersteun word nie. 'n Groot persentasie van ons besigheid bestaan net uit gaste wat terugkeer omdat hulle uiters tevrede was met die fasiliteit. Soos altyd is enige gas baie welkom om die eenhede te kom inspekteer of iemand te stuur om daarna te kom kyk voordat hulle 'n bespreking maak.
Die eenhede word skoongemaak deur 'n skoonmaakdiens wat spesialiseer in gastehuise en die beddegoed word deur 'n professionele wassery gewas. Ek het nog nooit nodig gehad om oor hulle dienste te kla nie.

Very comfy, peaceful, and so well equipped.
My family and I were pleasantly surprised. We had a great stay at Leeward Lodge. Mari treated us to a warm welcome and we chatted for days from the moment we arrived. We just felt so at home. The unit was spotless. They thought of everything. You just have to bring your shaving set and clothes, literally. The beds were so comfy and there are more than enough pillows and the kitchen has everything you need. Some of our relatives live nearby and we proudly invited them for coffee. I loved the peace and privacy. You can really switch off. The lodge has an ideal location. Was able to jog every day. Melkbos feels very safe and it is walking distance from the beach. Personally I recommend this, especially for a family. Thanks so much Leeward Lodge. You will definitely see us again.

Dit was lekker om die manne en ander gaste hier te ontvang. Ek glo alles het goed verloop met die troue. Julle moet beslis vir 'n naweek bespreek en net kom rus as daar nie 'n troue is om te reël nie!

Not clean.
Leeward Lodge 's response
Good day,
Thank you for your feedback.
The allegation that the unit is not clean is one fact that I have to vehemently deny. The units are cleaned by myself and not a cleaning service that could be accused of bad service. Previous ratings have given us 5 stars for cleanliness. I find it strange that the client did not voice this complaint while they were staying here as I could then investigate the allegation.
