Detailed Reviews
We had such an amazing time here. The room was comfortable, clean and well maintained, the staff friendly and helpful and the owners were extremely accommodating and made us feel at home from the get-go.
The guesthouse has a great central location in the Northern Suburbs, with safe parking, added bonus of also being pet friendly. Breakfast was out of this world
- fresh, flavoursome and really tasty, if you leave hungry it's on you. It's definitely a place I will return to and recommend to others. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant experience.

We were in the lodge for 16 days on lockdown. Lionel and his team have taken care of us in an exemplary manner. We had breakfast and dinner in the lodge. It was delicious and changed daily. Even taking into account the circumstances it was an exceptional stay. Thank you very much to Lionel and his team. Hans & Susi

Scenic B&B,reliable service,great food,secure,clean...i could go on and on. What sets this lodge apart is that personal touch that Lionel and his team give. Natasha was great as well. The transport was always on time. Coffee was one of the best I had in the whole of my stay in South Africa. After the room was cleaned in my absence my things were always in their proper places and my ironed clothes hung neatly in the closet. The rooms were cosy and comfortable. Lionel went out of his way to make us feel welcome and took care of us...also helping us out with some personal stuff and making sure we were settled in a good place after leaving his accomodation! He even made a Halal bbq dinner just for his Muslim guests. The only downer was that the internet was not strong in the room i was in and would disconnect several times....nobody else had this problem however in the other rooms.
Would def go back here every time. Highly recommend!

good day Warren, thank you for your feedback. we have recently rectified the shower and water regulator in our whole establishment to ensure all guests have good quality showers and that water pressure and temperatures can be regulated better. it is an extremely difficult task with water restrictions and also water shortages in the Western Cape. for Breakfast we do a buffet in the mornings, we will ensure that breakfast stays HOT in the bain maries. We pride ourselves to ensure all guests have a great experience and excellent stay. I will follow up on housekeeping and management to ensure your next stay will be much more comfortable. Have a blessed year. Regards Lionel

I recommend Sun Bell Lodge, The food was amazing and the dinner option is worth it! The staff were friendly and helpful, the service was very good. I stayed there for a week and would stay there again.
The value for money was very high and worked out much cheaper than all the other BnB's I had looked at.

Sun Belle Lodge is a simple bed & breakfast away from Home. The Lodge is located in a quiet safe area , but private transport or Lodge shuttle service is needed. It has several rooms with ensuite and definitely there are no exactly similar rooms regarding size or look. Some are facing to the outside, some face the pool and some face the hind garden with fish pond. All rooms are equipped with cool/warm air condition which is a blessing in all seasons. Some rooms have flat screen while others have the old TV. The room is very basic; beds with a small table and a small bathroom. There is no kettle but boiler and tea/coffee are available free in dining area. Rooms are cleaned every day with new towels daily. Internet service is perceived only near the reception area. Dining room is very spacious with several tables and a large flat screen. It 's open for tea and coffee over 24 hours with access to the microwave and kitchen facilities to everyone. Breakfast is quite filling with choice of eggs, cereals, yogurts jams, cakes, and toast. When Lionel noticed that I am not eating salami or pork he made efforts to have alternatives like fish cake, cheese and veggie sausage. Other meals can be arranged if requested. Lionel will gladly arrange for all transport requests including airport drop/pick up at a very reasonable charge. All staff are very helpful and smiley. There is a nearby supermarket (Spar) and take-away (Burger King, Mc Donald's, Pizza, Fish and steak) Lionel is very flexible, sincere and would help (with his staff) to keep every body happy.

I must admit and due to the fact that I'm travelling a lot, I was sceptical when I was told about the price per night. Sun Bell axceeded all expectations. It was my second visit to Sun Bell and will definitely make use of the facility again.
Thank you very much.

Very nice place to stay with nice bathroom and nice pool.
Room was little close to the dinning hall and breakfast started at 06:00 for one of the groups who stayed there. Overall very comfortable and value for money
