My family (husband, 8 month old and grandma) and I stayed for 5 nights at Dongola. We stayed in the suite and twin room which were both attached to our own private lounge. It was perfect for us with our own privacy but added security and company of Sally and Mike next door. Location was perfect - we went walking... More

A delightful place run by well organised and very friendly owners. Comfortable and well equipped rooms - free wi-fi and high speed internet access a big plus. Add to that the superb breakfasts. This place is hard to fault, and the experience was improved when I had my Mac charger posted back to Australia.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. The free wifi has proved to be a popular service we offer and has led to an increase in chargers being left behind, you are not alone and we are pleased you got it back safely. Warm regards, Mike and Sally More

My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights in February. We found Dongola through TripAdvisor and can quite understand why it's rated number 1 in Constantia. Sally and Mike are great hosts for whom nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The breakfasts were delicious and the gardens and pool beautifully kept, all making for a restful stay.

Beautiful location with room views across to the mountains. Peaceful, clean and friendly service. Good quality healthy breakfasts. Well located with quick access to Cape Town city and over the mountain to the Simonstown side. We had the room at the bottom of the garden with dual-aspect windows- great views to wake up to. Would have no hesitation staying here... More

Mike and Sally own an awesome guest house, very well situated as close to Cape town, Constantia vineyards and the whole the touristic area. Great as well if you want to find a place to escape from the busy city. They have welcomed all of us (4 adults and a 3-y old child) in a very friendly way, even with... More

Dear Aude, thank you for such a lovely review. We are glad we could be of assistance and that you had such a lovely stay. Our central location on the peninsula not only makes us a convenient place to stay when on holiday but a great place to live. Hope to see you again soon. Warm regards, Mike and Sally. More

Our second visit to Dongola House. Just as impressed as on our first visit. Dongola House is very easy to find, driving from the airport and Mike and Sally are wonderful hosts - very comfortable accommodation - great breakfasts - lovely views and a quiet location. The Constantia wineries and Kirstenbosch are all within easy driving distance.
