Amazing Stay!!

We absolutely loved LOVED staying at this villa. It is an extremely spacious place with loads of running space for the kids. Athol is also very generous with his grandkids’ toys which were heaven sent for all the kids in our group. Athol himself was a BRILLIANT host and we can’t thank him enough for his hospitality. He was always available for any questions we might have had (and we had quite a few!). Also, a special note for his help with our son needed a doctor.

An excellent place to stay for a large group

The property itself is an excellent place to stay, up to ~30mins drive from most of the best places to visit in cape town. I recommend it for a large family, and we shall definitely look to visit again. I will note that when you are making payment, avoid bank transfers, we had a problem with that and ended up losing half our deposit. Make sure you confirm all instructions on phone, email alone may not be safe enough.

Great Location, Stunning Views, Fantastic Host

We had a great stay at LeBonheur over Christmas and New Year. Our daughter was married at Steenberg and both sides of the family shared the main house. It was great to have the maid service particularly on the day of the wedding with 6 shirts to iron! We had booked the house a full three years in advance and Athol and Tamara had done everything possible to help us source suppliers and generally put our minds at ease. At the last minute some friends had issues with their booked accommodation in Hout Bay and Athol and Tamara pulled out all the stops to assist and let them move into Lemon cottage at very short notice. The house itself is in a stunning setting, the views from the top terrace are very special indeed. Although the pool and hot tub are shared with the other cottages, this was not an issue for us. There are eight padded sun loungers and plenty of other lounging chairs. The grounds are perfect for a family BBQ (Braai!) and the prices of meat etc in the supermarket are very reasonable. Jacko the parrot provided plenty of entertainment to us all and Tamara’s dog Stretch also visited to play around the pool. We found the location to be very convenient, although you do need to drive to get anywhere, there are plentiful restaurants and a shopping centre within 10 minutes. The Waterfront, Hout Bay and Newlands are all an easy 20-25 minute drive. Then of course it is in the middle of the Constantia wine route – it would be rude not to.

Hi Hilary After all the holidays and the family celebrations, you must be happy to be back home and settling back into normality so to speak. It was a pleasure, to host you and your extended family for such an auspicious occasion. Having the Villa serviced regularly for such a large group is beneficial to all as you are on vacation and the last thing on one's mind should be to clean up behind you. Its a time for rest and relaxation. We do what we can to 'iron out the creases' (no pun intended) to make your holiday experience as seamless as possible. Outstanding Customer service excellence is key, we bridge the gap as and where it is needed, be it assisting with transport, catering needs or confirming memorable tour experiences, it all ties up a perfect package with a pretty bow. The estate lends itself to a relaxed family atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the swimming pool and Al fresco dining & BBQ (Braai) during the Summer months. We are a short drive, but a picturesque and scenic one at that, to all attractions, restaurants, beaches and the main motorway which allows direct access into the Cape Town City Bowl. The Constantia Wine Route on our door step proves fruitful for those who have developed a taste for fine South African Wine in our region. We find that our guests love Jacko's (our African Grey) jolly banter as well as Stretch's ever present mischievous smile and wagging tail. They are special little characters that add a unique unexpected touch to your memorable holiday experience. We would love to see you come back time and time again.

Guesthouse not a villa

The description of the property is misleading, it's a guesthouse shared with other people (pool etc), not a private villa. Owner is very friendly and Jacko the bird entertaining. Amenities in the house are very old. The outside area/garden is nice.

Great layout in a superb location

Athol was a great host and accommodated us very well. The main accommodation is spacious and well spread out over a single storey. As we were two families who didn't want to live on top of each other, the layout of the house was great. The location is fantastic, being close to great restaurants, supermarkets, vineyards, local walks and cycle tracks, and not too far from the main attractions of Cape Town.

Lime cottage - excellent property and service

We had a great time both in the spacious Lime cottage which was kept clean and tidy by the wonderful staff. Communal areas are excellent with bars, huge flat screen jacuzzi and a good sized warm pool. Beautiful garden and rooftop terrace with mountain view. City is in easy reach via car or you can pop down to the constantia mall in just 5 minutes.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Dear Juri Thank you for your review for Lime Cottage. The Cottage is ideal for a family of four. The open plan lounge, kitchen area is spacious and lends itself to relaxed family living. The pool is a hit with all who enjoy the hot summer days. Being Solar heated, the pool's temperature is ideal, despite weather conditions. Our view of the Constantia berg - backdrop of Table Mountain, makes for many a postcard memory, and the rooftop terrace is the perfect spot for a sundowner or two.

Meget smuk og velindrettet bolig med masser af charm. Alt fungeret godt og værten (samt manageren) var meget hjælpsom og nem at få fat i, hvis vi havde spørgsmål.

Great location, beautiful views

We were a big group and rented out most of the units. It worked well and was a very sociable setting for a family event. It was an excellent base and Tamara and Athol were great hosts. We hope to be back soon as we had an amazing break.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Guests are always delighted to find how central our location is, here in Constantia, with open and free access to the main motorways where visiting the City Bowl and Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is a breeze, unlike Peak periods where Camps Bay tends to be grid-locked. The point of a well-deserved vacation, like yours, visiting the Cape for a Family Wedding and co-ordinating the rendezvous points for big groups should be effortless and as stress free as possible and we observed you managed to do so with ease. It was a pleasure hosting you and your extended family and friends and look forward to welcoming you back.

Lovely, secluded, quiet and restful

Athol and Tammy accommodated me at very short notice and in the middle of winter when they weren't really open - their hospitality and helpfulness was greatly appreciated. I had a wonderfully nurturing two days there - amidst rainstorms - but was kept warm and snug in a lovely comfortable cottage that contained everything I needed. Thank you both again for a great time and your warm welcome. I can highly recommend this lovely abode!

Thank you for your valued review. We are always ready to create a warm Winter welcome here in the heart of Constantia. While we are thankful for the much needed rain, we managed to create a welcoming atmosphere. The Villa and cottages are ideal for both Summer and Winter rentals. Yours was a brief visit and we hope to see you next time with some of your friends and family, to make full use of the extended Villa with its indoor/outdoor entertainment area as well as our solar heated pool and Jacuzzi. You were snug in the cottage, which suited your needs, with its fully equiped open plan Kitchen, dining and lounge area with flat-screen television.

Wonderful Winter Vacation in Constantia Cape Town

I loved staying at Le Bonheur Villa. I stayed longer than anticipated. I originally booked to stay for a few days which ended up being a two month stay. It was perfect for me travelling solo in the Winter months. The bed was most comfortable and the space was cosy. When it rained, I took the opportunity to catch up on some movies on the satellite channel offering. I love taking long walks. Le Bonheur is a stones throw from Bel Ombre Greenbelt which is a beautiful stretch of green grass and trees, ideal for leisurely walks. There are mountain biking & horse trails and it feels like you are in the countryside but with breathtaking views of the backdrop of Table Mountain and the Constantiaberg. I attached some photos to give every traveller an accurate indication of how lush and green everything is, after the much needed Winter rainfalls the Cape is known for. This brings me to the efforts that my host, Athol has worked hard at achieving a water and energy efficient eco environment to beat the challenges of water restrictions. He has solar heating as well as a borehole, but has also gone to great lengths of informing all his guests by educating them on how to best conserve water and at the same time have an enjoyable vacation. I will be taking some of the tips home that I learned. All in all, my time at Le Bonheur was a memorable experience. I will be recommending this lovely property with its manicured gardens to all my friends and family. Thank you Athol and your kind staff!

Wonderful Welcoming Homebase in Constantia

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Athol's home in Constantia. It is a wonderful, sunny spot with great outdoor space and huge amounts of room for large parties to spread out and stay out of each other's hair. Athol was a great host helping us with any issues but giving us our space most of the time. I would highly recommend this booking to those visiting Cape Town, especially if you are looking for a homebase for your family as you explore the sites around town.

Beautiful house

Le Bonheur Guesthouse that sleeps 12 people is excellent for a big family. The rooms are neat, spacious and have all the necessary equipment. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is absolutely perfect for cooking a feast. All cutlery and utensils you can think of are available. The house is secure and has a beautiful garden and other facilities. The presence of the owner in the property also makes staying at the house very hospitable because he's always available to address issues as they arise. You won't be bothered by his presence because he stays at the back and will not be on your face. He's also very friendly. However, if it is the Jacuzzi and the heated pool that attracts you to the place, be sure to visit the place when the weather is hot because the solar power used by the property only provides those services when it's hot. Also inform the owner of your showering times because the geysers are timed in terms of when to start heating up the water. The fact that the TV's in the bedrooms only have minimal channels and what you watch in your room is determined by what the other guests in the other rooms want to watch is a minor issue because you can still get all channels in the main lounge. Cape Town is generally having water shortages and don't be surprised if you get there and you're restricted on the use of bath tubs. Nonetheless, my family had a great time at Le Bonheur Guesthouse and recommend it for families needing comfortable, spacious, quiet and friendly environment. Tumi

Thank you for your review on LeBonheur Villa & Guest Suite. It was a pleasure hosting this family for 3 nights at Lebonheur. Lebonheur is totally Green Friendly with use of Solar Energy as much as possible. With Solar heated Geysers 11 Solar Panels for the Large Solar Heated Pool & 4 Panels for the 8 seater Solar heated Jacuzzi. We have also undertaken a huge Solar Electric project this year that has virtually got us off the Grid with battery back up in case of Power failures to be self sustaining. As everyone in Cape Town knows the serious Water Shortage in the Western Cape with the Dams at 33.5% full compared to last year at 61.5% we may run out of drinkable water by March if we don't get more rain before the end of our rainy season which we are fast approaching. To avoid this we tell all our guests on arrival about the situation with pamphlets available & the Councils request to avoid bathing & take short showers. All hotels & Guest Houses are all standing together to avoid the Dams from drying up. We undertook a huge project to have our Borehole water Tested & with a good standard of water we have added filters to assure water for our guests that is also drinkable so that we are able to operate even if the water situation worsens. Never to forget that even the fact that we have a strong borehole to still use the water sparingly. We laise with our guests offering them weather updates etc & depending on the weather we recommend various things for them to do on a daily basis. With our solar geysers with timers we set the timers according to each guests needs assuring that they have hot water daily winter & summer. During the winter it is impossible to sustain pool & Jacuzzi tempratures especially at night so we cover up the pool every year during the Winter & when it warms up usually around 1 November we open up the Large pool using Daily solar energy & with our compulsory pool cover so to avoid evaparation & offer swimming temprature around 33 c & Jacuzzi with tempratures around 40c & there are instruction on how to get the most out of the Jacuzzi. When guests request accommodation during winter we reply advising them of the Winter Solar Heated & Solar heated jacuzzi but advise them that we are Winter & Summer Friendly with Wood burning Fireplaces & bedroom heating if necessary in winter & fans during Summer with our well Insulated & ventilated 5 Star Villa & Lime cottage with Large covered patios with state of the art stacking doors ideal Summer/Winter.

Beautiful cottage and friendly hosts

We had a wonderful stay at Le Bonheur. Athol and Joy were friendly, accommodating and relaxed. The cottage is beautiful - big and very well appointed - it includes everything you'd ever need and is very secure. We would definitely return!

A great way to start a trip to South Africa

The Property is very well located in a quiet area 15 minutes away for the city center and a short reach to some great wineries. Athol is a the best host you can ask for and he will be glad to help you with all your questions. We weren't able to use the pool and hot tub because of a storm a few days before but Jacko was a good compensation.

Spacious, versatile and luxurious

Le Bonheur is well situated and has a stunning view of the mountains, quiet but central, Constatia Village and Kirstenbosch gardens but 5 min. away. We were an extended family of 10 and had ample room to relax in the many sitting locations and lounges in the house. The kitchen is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing (with the range of age groups, we had a diverse need for different equipment - all to be had). The bedrooms are very comfortable, main en suite, and generally the house is very clean and maintained by friendly staff who also wash and iron! Athol met us and gave us a run down on the house as well as always being available for our needs and tips for where to do what, an excellent host. A heated pool and jacuzzi are available as well as a roof-top terrace for sundowners, great. Masses of fridge room and bar facilities are available. I would recommend this to anyone no matter what one is looking for, a truely versatile villa.

Far exceeded our expectations!

Without a doubt this "gem of a find" far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by everything from the tranquility and surrounds, to the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the accommodation. If you are looking for comfort with a truly homely feel without compromising on the "holiday feeling" then I would highly recommend staying here. It is private and secure, yet welcoming and accommodating at the same time. We loved being close enough to shops, beautiful wineries, amazing walking tracks and all that Cape Town has to offer, yet set back from the noise of traffic etc in what is clearly one of the most lavish suburbs in South Africa. my wife and I....and our 20 month old son enjoyed every minute of our stay at LeBonheur having chosen to stay in one of the beautifully renovated cottages (Lime Cottage) on the property, adjacent to the main house. Our host, Athol, was never far if we needed anything, and always welcoming and keen to be of service. We will most certainly be returning, and have already recommended LeBonheur to friends of ours here in Sydney Australia. Top marks for a top place to stay in Africa's most enjoyable city, Cape Town!

Beautiful holiday home for our large family

We hosted 14 of our family members from the United States at Le Bonheur. We had an excellent stay! The property is beautiful, and its views of the Table Mountain range are amazing. The owner, Athol, was very responsive to our needs and easy to work with. The house is just a 5-minute drive from Constantia Village, where our family could shop for groceries and things they needed for the house. Constantia is a great location—central to much of what Cape Town has to offer.
