Colona Castle is set on the mountain slopes on the warmer False Bay coastline. This small boutique hotel overlooks a series of lakes, with magnificent views which stretch from Table Mountain across the peninsula and winelands to the ocean.

Originally built in 1929, Colona Castle is a Mediterranean style manor house which has been freshly renovated, and has an impressive array of art and antiques accumulated over many years. This is a peaceful place where you can relax on one of the patios in summer, or cuddle up next to an open-hearth log fire in winter.

The staff are extremely helpful and give great advice and assistance in planning your holiday activities. A choice of world-class golf courses; long, sandy beaches and the 'arty' fishing village of Kalk Bay are all a short drive away. In-house massage and spa treatments are also available on request.

Colona Castle is situated on the mountainside above Lakeside, on the warmer False Bay coastline, in Cape Town's southern suburbs.
