Cape Town Hotel Guide - Art in the Forest hotels in Cape Town, South Africa.

"We stayed in the Kings Chamber, probably the coolest room I’ve ever stayed in. Views unbeatable, outdoor shower was liberating and the private treehouse and swing in the trees was the cherry on the cake. Don’t expect the service or facilities of a 5* hotel- this is a guest house (ex private residence, but feels like it’s plucked straight out of a movie). when the staff are around they are very attentive- they helped with our bags and cooked us whatever we liked for breakfast. Elle the manager booked us a massage in the wine cellar of the hotel (which is submerged in a Koi pond) which was an amazing experience. The honesty bar was a very efficient way of getting drinks. Please note Lunch/ dinner is not available without a 48hr pre booking, but there’s so many nice restaurants in the surrounding area and ubers are easy to get. There is also a well equipped communal kitchen you can use. The communal areas in the house are truly mesmerising- the attention to detail that went into building this property is mind blowing and the endless chill out areas, antiques and artworks around every corner really make for an interesting stay. The property is well secured and the underground car park very convenient. The pool area is very cool- it has a zip wire and some cool diving boards and is fresh water. Dont expect crystal clear blue water and waiters bringing you cocktails as this is not what this place is about. Beautiful place, 10/10 recommend for a unique experience "

"All the above"

"The room was in perfect condition and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was a very nice suprise as we did not expect it."

"Wow! What a great last minute booking that saved us. We was created upon arrival by one of the staff and the customer service from the very start right to the end was outstanding. The hotel, grounds and room etc was decorated beautifully. Could have stayed here all day enjoying the garden and pool area even just the room it was that nice and breakfast included was exceptional and really filled me up all day until the evening. Highly recommended hotel we will come back and stay here 100%"
