Helen – Manchester, England – June 2010

What a fantastic setting!! Beautiful views of the bay, top notch accommodation and even better was the hospitality throughout our stay. Warm, friendly welcome, excellent communication and helpful advice during our stay. Vivienne & Marshall were superb. Hout Bay is a lovely spot within easy distance of Cape Town and Cape Point so was a great base for us during our World Cup stay and will definitely return. Thanks again

David, Helen, Alex & Mikey Seaman – England November 2008

A truely wonderful stay in this fantastic accommodation. Marshall and Vivienne have made us very welcome and the place felt like home from the first day. The boys loved the “splunge” pool and made sure of their daily dip and we all loved having dinner (inc. BBQs) on the verandah. Places visited: Fishoek for lunch on the beach (children’s play area), Cape Point for brilliant views (and cakes and coffee at the Two Oceans), Cape of Good Hope for baboon troops and Ostriches, Table Mountain (twice) and the V & A (for shopping), Llandudno for the best beach, Camps Bay for a great beach and views of the “beautiful” people, World of Birds (our lads spent all day), Kirstenbosch (but not really the best time), Thanks again for a very relaxing time.

“Firstly I would like to thank you for the way in which we were welcomed by Simon to the lodge it was a treat to be greeted with a friendly face as most places do not go the extra mile like yours does, this really made us feel at home. Secondly thank you for the lovely stay and the upgrade we received which was a very welcomed gesture and nice surprise, your lodge is beautifully decorated and the views are breath taking, this was truely a wonderful place to stay in despite the bad weather we had, I can only image how nice it will be when the warmer days come. We will definitely be back to visit again and will recommend Poplar Tree Lodge to friends and family as this is an economical (yet beautifully laid out and equipped ) and wonderful place to stay.”

Enig Ingemarsson – November 2007

“Vi,ett svenskt par besökte Sydafrika i Nov-Dec-07,reste omkring med bil och bodde 4 nätter på Poplar Tree Lodge i Hout Bay. Vi kan varmt rekommendera boendet Gästvänligt bemötande,rent och säkert nära till allt vi ville se och uppleva. Vi återkommer gärna.”

Adrie en Clazien – Netherlands – October 2007

“Na onze stoffige, lange en toch wel vermoeiende reis door Nambie, bleek Poplar Tree een complete verrassing te zijn. De hartelijke ontvangst, de fantastische gastvrijheid en de luxe accommodatie waren super. Alles was perfect in orde. Viv gaf ons het gevoel in een schuimbad van verwennerij terecht gekomen te zijn. Wij zijn naar huis gegaan met een afscheid van Zuid-Afrika dat wij ons niet beter hadden kunnen wensen. Viv, heel erg bedankt daarvoor en ÚÚn ding is zeker: als we terugkomen in Zuid-Afrika dan is het in Poplar Tree.”

Elsa De Kock – South Africa – July 2007

“We had a fantastic long weekend in Cape Town. Poplar Tree Lodge is very cosy and we would recommend it to our friends. We found it quite central to all the things that we wanted to experience.”
