This was our first time in Cape Town, and albeit only for one night, our stay was made incredibly special by Ani (and Prudence). The property itself is absolutely stunning, with a high quality finish. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and although we arrived in torrential thunderstorm, the balcony view was something else. On a beautiful day, I expect it would take your breath away. Ani couldn’t be more hospitable, catering to our every need, and making accommodations for our early arrival. Breakfast was homemade and delicious too - especially the scrambled egg. I couldn’t recommend Atholl House more - you absolutely must stay here! We wish we had stayed for longer.

This place is an absolute gem — pure 5-star luxury with a peaceful, secluded vibe away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a retreat. The property is beautifully decorated with incredible attention to detail, and the facilities are top-notch. Our room was huge — beautifully designed, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing. It had everything we needed for a zen break. We only wish we had booked a longer stay and planned a few local dinners in advance to make the most of the area.

    The apartment was tastefully furnished and equipped with everything necessary for a home away from home stay. I especially loved the bathroom and lounge. Being right next door to Canal Walk was a bonus. You do have to collect the keys from a different location i.e. Crystal Towers, but that's a stone's throw away from the entrance to Island Club so still quite convenient. Thanks to Seraj and his team, you guys were all great from the start of my booking till the end. I have no hesitation in recommending you😊

    It's a perfect home away from home. Especially if your looking for a little hide out to clear your head for a few days. Beautiful mountain views, loved the attention to detail in some basic items left in the property that came in handy without me having to run to the store because it was forgotten. I loved the simple book in process it adds to the private home away from home feeling. Will definitely recommend and revisit in the near future.
