Cape Town five star property updates
Exterior of the Cape Cadogan

Much has changed in Cape Town, South Africa since we profiled the Owner’s Villa, part of the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel in 2006, in the Simon and Baker Travel Review, our sister publication. The following year we also featured Ivory Lodge, 1933 (an exclusive use luxury rental house since closed) and Lalamuka Spa at Lion Sands in the Lion Sands Reserve, a luxury safari property across the Sabie River from the famous Kruger National Park. Our contributors had a most favorable opinion of the properties and their owners following their stays. The properties remain in the More Family who owned them at the time the articles were published.*

*Prior to the Pandemic our articles were based exclusively on the experiences and photography of our contributors at a destination and voyage. Post the Covid-19 pandemic we almost completely halted travel. For those traveling now we are offering limited updates about destinations, properties and restaurants we featured in the past and whose representatives have responded to our questions and requests for updates. This series of updates began in 2021.
