This is the perfect getaway to unwind and disconnect from the city bustle. The fireplace in the common area was amazing, especially now with the colder weather. You feel right at home.

Amazing stay. Made a smart choice of going there after a few days in the noisy and buzzy Cape Town. The staff at phakalane was amazing. The place is so zen and you really get to enjoy silence, with just nature sounds. The naps there are unmatched!
