Charming excellent equipped holiday cottage.

Very comfortable and well equipped holiday home. The house is situated in an interesting area with famous wineries and the botanic garden Kirstenbosch nearby. Beautiful landscape including Cape Point National Park and white beaches not far away. Very friendly owners.

Just perfect

Bicycle lodge is a very homely place to stay, it has everything you would need for a perfect holiday, even the owners dog Zoe to make a fuss of. It's very well located for visiting all the attractions of Cape Town and close by excellent shopping mall with many resturants. I would highly recommend this property and we are already planning a return visit next year.

Relaxing sanctuary

Thank you Sharon for a relaxing but productive little retreat - I had the space to think and work in your beautiful tranquil cottage. There is definitely something about birds softly tweeting in the morning that is good for ones soul.

A slice of honeymoon heaven

My husband and I loved this place!! Johan and Sharon are amazing hosts and their place is a little slice of heaven! We loved everything about this place with 2 very nice bedrooms and comfortable beds, kitchen area, TV, pool, bird cage in the garden, and the most fun-loving dog, Zoe to greet us each morning. This cottage was clean, well kept, and really had everything we needed to make basic meals. We loved the location that was close to the grocery store and shopping center and a quick drive from Steenberg, our favorite vineyard in Constantia wine region! They have an amazing restaurant there that we highly recommend if you plan on staying here. We loved how close we were to all the vineyards, which made for a very fun and memorable trip.

Beautiful Cottage in the Cape Town Area

We stayed at Bicycle Cottage for 6 nights at the end of our first visit to South Africa. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, well equipped and nicely furnished. The owners Sharon and John (and labrador Zoe) were extremely friendly and hospitable. The cottage, which is in the grounds of their house, is located in Tokai, a pleasant suburban area in the Constantia Valley, with good shops and restaurants nearby. We found the location absolutely ideal for easy access to all the Cape Peninsula sites and attractions and an easy 20 - 25 minute drive to the V. & A. Waterfront. Our only suggestion for improving the amenity of this lovely cottage would be the provision of a washing machine, (as although Sharon included a laundry service we would have preferred the convenience of our own machine!) We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this property to anyone seeking a really pleasant & comfortable holiday base in the Cape Town area.

Excellent!

My wife and I just returned from a 10 day stay at Bicycle Lodge, and are hoping to return in the near future. Sharon and John are wonderful hosts, who live in the larger house at the front of the property, and the accommodation is exactly as depicted in the pictures on the website. It's very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. This is truly a home away from home, and the floor plan really works for a couple or a small family. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glassware and we ended up cooking every night for ourselves both because it was so well equipped and we were tired of eating out for a month previous to our stay. There are plenty of good food markets close by too. If you have a car, then Tokai is a very good place to stay since every place you'd want to visit in the Cape Town area is relatively close by. We chose Bicycle Lodge owing to its excellent reviews by previous guests, and we also loved the accommodation, hosts, and location. Many thanks, Sharon and John. Scott & Han

Bicycle Lodge is an exceptional base for a stay in Cape Town.

Our second visit. First visited in 2012, always planned to return but our dates were never available, so we made a special effort to reserve well in advance to stay for 3 weeks over Christmas and New Year 2018/19. Sharon and John are brilliant hosts, always available to offer help and advice but never intrusive. Tokai is an ideal location for visiting Cape Town and the Western Cape. Just 30 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes from the waterfront and 35 minutes from the beach at Camps Bay. The closest beach is Muizenberg, about 15 minutes away. The Brasserie restaurant and Bootleggers coffee shop are 2 minutes walk away and both are popular locations with excellent food and drink. Constantia Village with it's shops, restaurants and supermarkets is 10 minutes away, and the large Blueroute shopping mall 5 minutes away. The facilities at Bicycle Lodge are first class, milk and water in the fridge on arrival along with biscuits. The wine rack is fully stocked for you, just replace the bottles you drink. The kitchen has everything you need, Sharon and John have thoughtfully provided a second fridge which increases the amount of food and drink which you can keep cool and therefore reduces the number of shopping trips you need to make. We enjoyed picking tomatoes from John's garden to enjoy with our braiis. The garden is busy with lots of birds feeding on an endless supply of food provided by John. You might also see a squirrel or two. You will certainly be visited by Zoe the resident dog who is friendly, quiet and loves the attention of the guests. We loved our early morning walks around the 4.75km perimeter path in Tokai Park which is just 10 minutes walk away and has great views of the surrounding area. There are numerous good golf courses nearby and it is easy to arrange tee times. On two of our visits to Cape Town we have enjoyed a day watching cricket at Newlands, a first class sporting venue with the amazing backdrop of Table Mountain. In summary Bicycle Lodge is exceptional and Sharon and John's hospitality was a major contribution to another wonderful holiday in South Africa. We even got married whilst we were there!

Cozy Cottage Stay

The bicycle lodge is a very nice location to stay when you are vacationing Cape Town. 35 Minutes with UBER to Waterfront Victoria & Alfred and many more destinations are so close. We enjoyed beaches as Boulder Beach etc. which are a 35 minute drives as well. Close to the Cottage there little Restaurants and a Gas Station for milk or muffins etc. We enjoyed our stay in Spring with sunny weather. Over all we recommend this vacation home very much.

Bicycle Lodge - a perfect summer stay

We stayed in Bicycle Lodge for 7 weeks and had a fabulous time. John and Sharon were perfect hosts - easy to engage with and always helpful. We fell in love with their dog Zoe who has the nicest temperament ever! The accommodation is in a great location with easy access to the coast, central Cape Town, Constantia, local vineyards and just over an hour to Franschhoek. We found the bedrooms to be spacious and beds very comfortable, and overall, the accommodation nice and homely. Sharon and John keep their plot in perfect shape with lovely trees, shrubs and water feature. If you choose to stay here then it would be very hard not to have a wonderful time!

Wunderbare Unterkunft in der Nähe von Kapstadt

Die Ferienwohnung ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet, besonders hervorzuheben sind die beiden Schlafzimmer, die jeweils mit sehr guten Matratzen bestückt sind und sich verdunkeln lassen. Die Wohnung selbst liegt auf dem Grundstück der Vermieter, ist aber von ihnen nicht direkt einsehbar. Die Lage des Grundstücks ist sehr sicher, da man ungefähr 30 km von Kapstadt in einem typischen Vorort wohnt. Der Kontakt zu John und Sharon war unkompliziert und herzlich, sie haben uns immer tolle Tipps für Unternehmungen gegeben, die man nicht unbedingt in den Reisebüchern findet. Bei Bedarf übernimmt Sharon auch die Wäsche, da eine eigene Waschmaschine nicht zur Verfügung steht. Insgesamt können wir die Ferienwohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Comfortable family-friendly home

We loved our stay in the bicycle lodge! My husband, myself and our 6 month old daughter were there for almost 2 weeks and we had a wonderful stay. The lodge has a well-stocked kitchen to cook. Sharon has thought of all the touches to make it feel like home. The property itself is beautiful and has lovely outside areas as well. Sharon was very responsive to messages. We hope to stay here again!

Immaculate house with everything you need.

Sharon and John were super hosts, very friendly and informative, the house was in a perfect quiet location but central for all Cape Town activities, a beautiful garden with all sorts of interest and lovely outdoor seating, small pool but perfect for a cool down! Thank you for your hospitality x

Tranquil home from home and a perfect base for exploring the Cape

My husband and I and our 2 friends have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Cape Town. Bicycle Lodge was a great find, located in a quiet, residential area in the attractive suburb of Tokai. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by John and Sharon, the owners, and their friendly dog, Zoe. The property is spacious and tastefully furnished with good sized bedrooms and plenty of storage space and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and seating areas. We loved sitting on the terrace eating our breakfast whilst watching the wildlife including birds, squirrels and lizards. Zoe would often join us for a biscuit and a tummy tickle! There is a lovely pool ideal for cooling off on warmer days and there are sun beds and small deckchairs with beach towels provided. We hired a car for the 2 weeks of our stay and explored a lot of the Cape, including the wine route and as nowhere was further than a couple of hours drive away it was ideal for days out. Our favourite places were Kirstenbosch Botanic Garden’s ( just up the road), Boulder Bay to see the penguins, Simonstown, Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Hout Bay, Llandudno, Cape of Good Hope ( but avoid the baboons!) Table Mountain, Bo- Kaap and the V & A Waterfront in Cape Town. Eating out was an amazing experience as the quality of food and wine is so high and the prices are so low! We tried many of the local restaurants and without exception they were all excellent with friendly service and spotlessly clean. Just across the road from Bicycle Lodge there is a small row of shops and restaurants and we enjoyed wonderful breakfasts and lunches at Bootleggers and dinners at The Brasserie. A couple of miles up the road at Steenberg Village centre is a larger shopping precinct with 2 good supermarkets selling everything you need and a number of restaurants, all of which we tried. Jakes in the Village, The Hussar Grill, Basilico and Fish Market all served delicious freshly cooked food. We also had a lovely final evening of wine tasting at Steenberg Estate followed by wonderful tapas at the BistroSixteen 82. There are walking and cycling trails around Tokai and John, a keen cyclist, kindly lent my husband one of his mountain bikes and took him for a spin around the area which he really enjoyed. Overall we had a wonderful stay at Bicycle Lodge and can highly recommend it. We loved everything about S Africa and hope to return again before too long!

tolle Wohnung und nette Vermieter

Die Lodge liegt sehr schön als Ausgangspunkt für die Halbinsel und auch für Besuche in Kapstadt. Tolle große Wohnung mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Es war ein wenig warm nachts. Fenster öffnen war wegen Mücken keine gute Option. Ansonsten alles bestens. Tolle nette Vermieter und ein schöner Garten. Nicht zu vergessen Zoe, der Hund, der abends gerne bei uns lag und und immer freundlich empfing .

Just amazing - everything the other guests have said and more

Sharon and John are the perfect hosts ably supported by Zoe the adorable golden retriever. From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we immediately felt welcomed and at home. With great restaurants and within easy reach of the main attractions of CapeTown as well the ability to explore off the beaten track, Bicycle Cottage has everything for a great vacation. We can't recommend this property highly enough, we will definitely be back - thank you Sharon, John & Zoe
