Absolutely beautiful.

We were looking for a place that offers tranquility and a home away from home. Water Land Lodge offered so much more, definitely a must and great for families with little ones.

Lieflike natuur, en ook veilig.

Ons het lekker gebly. En ons gaan beslis weer. Die tuine is lieflik en 'n lushof. Gasheer is baie vriendelik.

Waterland is great, Cape Town is 15 minutes on one side, and Hout Bay 10 minutes the other, but it's quiet and safe. The dogs come over and are well-behaved, the accommodations are all clean and well looked after, and the hosts are friendly.

Luukse selfsorgeenheid.

Ons verblyf was luuks en die ligging dra by tot die ontspanning. Dit het ook baie gehelp dat Waterland Lodge ons kon help met wasgoed was toe ons besluit het om vir 'n ekstra aand te bly en nie die nodige ekstra skoon klere ingepak het vir die ekstra dag nie. Die hondjies op die perseel is baie mak en die kinders het die honde se vrymoedigheid om te kom inloer en sommer saam te slaap baie geniet.

Luxury self-catering unit.

Our stay was luxurious and the location adds to the relaxation. It also helped a lot that Waterland Lodge was able to help us with laundry when we decided to stay for an extra night and didn't pack the necessary extra clean clothes for the extra day. The dogs on the premises are very tame and the children really enjoyed the dogs' boldness to drop in and just sleep together.

Pragtige gesellige verblyf in die natuur omring deur berge, vriendelike eienaars.

Ons 2 susters en ons gesinne het heerlik gebly by Waterland Lodge. Die huisies is superskoon en gesellig ingerig met oog vir details. Dis die ideale verblyf om Houtbaai en omgewing te ontdek. Vergeet nie om die Myburgh Waterfall trail te doen nie. Pragtige Waterfall! Dit was heerlik om na elke daguitstappie terug te keer na hierdie oase van rus en dan te geniet van 'n gesellige braai! Baie vriendelike behulpsame eienaars!

Beautiful cozy accommodation in nature surrounded by mountains, friendly owners.

Our 2 sisters and our families had a wonderful stay at Waterland Lodge. The houses are super clean and cosily furnished with an eye for detail. It's the ideal accommodation to discover Hout Bay and surroundings. Don't forget to do the Myburgh Waterfall trail. Beautiful Waterfall! It was lovely to return to this oasis of rest after each day trip and then enjoy a cozy barbecue! Very friendly helpful owners!

Great stay.

We had a spur of the moment idea to get away for the weekend, and while searching for a place to stay, we found Waterland lodge. We stayed in The Orchid Family Cottage. Everything was as advertised, and even better. Ben was very friendly and helpful. We loved the friendly dogs. Will definitely be returning for another visit.

It was not a pleasant experience at all.

I asked several times beforehand if it would be okay to bring my dogs. I was also under the impression that the unit was fenced off so my dogs could at least "stay out of the way". Upon arrival I realized this was not the case. On day 1 it was essential to attend a business meeting, one of the reasons for my visit to the Cape. I left the dogs in the unit while I had to attend the meetings (remember the "fence" has big holes in it and the dogs could easily crawl out so I couldn't leave them outside) as I didn't want to experience any problems while I had to not focus on my work. The owner called me in the middle of a meeting to complain about not being the sitter of my dogs. He was extremely intimidating and insisted that I return immediately. The gardener was working in the garden just outside the unit and the dogs were barking at him. The owner also insisted that someone come and clean the unit daily, for which I had to pay an extra R200 per day in advance - had no problem with that). So, when I return in a hurry so that the dogs are not such a big problem and work "remotely", the cleaner wants to come in to clean the unit. That means twice in one day I was cut short in the middle of business meetings. My work as a business consultant depends on successful workshops and meetings. Only to receive a text the next day from the owner complaining that I didn't want to let the cleaner in. The day's interruptions cost me R8500. I found the owner intimidating during my stay and so unpleasant that on the last night I made another plan and stayed somewhere else. A very unpleasant experience. I consult for large financial institutions that regularly hold conferences and indeed would not recommend this place at all. Also, the unit was cold and "steamy" - probably since it's located so close to the water. I paid the full amount in advance for a larger unit as there would be a fence in the unit to be "out of the way" of the rest of the guests (this was also not the case as the unit borders a other unit with a guest right next door), R200 a day for cleaning services and an extra R340 for the one night a friend came to visit. I did my part and expected to enjoy a relaxing time where the dogs would be out of the way and no one would be bothered while I could focus on work. This was not the case at all!

Grant en Silvia is 2 pragtige mense wat baie moeite doen vir hulle gaste. Die eenheid was pragtig en baie netjies en skoon. Dit was stil en rustig gewees en die foto's doen dit nie justice nie. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel en sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Grant was so assuring and empathetic towards our disappointment and his wife was just amazing as well. Really amazing owners and they know exactly how to treat their guests. Grants wife was even so kind. I would recommend anyone to stay at Waterland Lodge. Nothing more peaceful than the relaxing sounds of the waterfall and the birds when you wake up in the morning. It's just awesome.

Wonderlike atmosfeer, goed geleë en baie netjies.

Ons het die Two Oceans wedloop gedoen en is Waterland Lodge perfek geleë. Die vol marathon atlete hardloop gewoonlik verby die straat en Waterland Lodge is net so 20min se ry van UCT af. Baie netjies, ruim en gasvry.
