Sandown Lodge – A Favorite for Families in Cape Town

Sandown Lodge offers three self-catering suites and a double room, each with private en-suite bathrooms. The suites include kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and garden views. The Family Suite has two bedrooms (one queen bed, one or two single beds), while the Upstairs Family Suite features a king bed and a double bed, both en-suite. The Upstairs Room has a Victorian bath and a separate entrance with garden access. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, electric blankets, and safes. Additional beds can be arranged.

Guests receive homemade rusks in their rooms for morning tea or coffee. Breakfast is served in the garden, with fresh, varied options. Four restaurants, including Michaels (a short walk away), are within 3 km. The lodge provides braai (barbecue) facilities on request.

The property features an English garden with a 180-year-old oak tree, outdoor seating, and a braai area. Pets (dogs and a cat named Biscuit) roam the grounds. Newlands Forest, ideal for hiking, is nearby. The lodge operates on solar power and has a borehole for water, avoiding load-shedding disruptions.

The V&A Waterfront and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are a 10-minute drive. Bus #7 and the Green Line Tram provide public transport links.

Daily room service (except Sundays), laundry service, and secure off-street parking are included. The lodge accommodates up to 12 guests, with family-friendly amenities like additional beds and kitchenettes. DSTV, hair dryers, and electric kettles are provided. The property has an alarm system for security.
