Guests reviews

We feel as if we've found a secret getaway up on the mountain. We enjoy the peacefulness and relaxing atmosphere and of course the views.
Most times we can't decide whether to look out to sea or whether to gaze up at the mountain. We love birds, mountain walking and the beach and there are plenty of opportunities for these at Way Up. Linda & Fabio Venturi Noordhoek Cape Town South Africa

Way Up is well laid out and clean. It's convenient to both Cape Town and Cape Point National Park, but best of all were our friendly and discrete hosts, Denise and Neville. Robert & Jennifer Steffes Pittsburgh USA

What can I say about Way Up?

Let me start by saying it is home from home. Neville and Denise were our perfect hosts. They welcomed us to a wonderful little cottage set on the side of Swartkop in their well kept garden with stunning views out over False Bay. The cottage had everything we needed, was very comfortable and spotless. We sat on the veranda having breakfast whilst the Cape Sugar birds flitted around the proteas, listening and watching the whales blowing in the bay whilst we decided what to do with our day.

We walked down to the beaches, across the golf course and to the famous Boulders beach and sat with the penguins before the tourists arrived and had lunch at a wonderful inexpensive restaurant that Neville recommended. Afterwards we had a 2 hour sea kayak trip with the penguins and then walked back to Way Up.

Neville has cut a track directly from the Cottage that leads to the summit of Swartkop where the views over Simon's Town and back towards Cape Town are amazing.

Way Up is close to Cape Point where you can spend days if you choose, like we did walking through spectacular coastal cliffs and beaches. Way Up has all the books to guide you and Neville knows them all. Get off the beaten track you wont be disappointed.

We visited the beautiful winegrowing areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek and drove on to Tulbagh. All of these places you will want to linger but it depends on how much time you have. Another day trip from Way Up is Hermanus where at the right time of year you can watch Southern Right Whales only metres away from the shore or like us you can jump in a boat or a canoe and get right amongst them. If you are brave enough carry onto Gaansbaai and dive with Great White Sharks. All of the trips you can do yourself or arrange in the friendly shops in Simons Town just minutes from Way Up.

Get up early and watch the sun rise from the veranda and drive around the coast to Scarborough and watch the sunset.  A short drive will also see you at the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where we whiled away a wonderful lazy day. Cape Town itself is an easy drive with SO much to see and do, Table Mountain, Robben Island, The Waterfront, The District Six museum, I could go on forever !

There are shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and a friendly grocers shop for essentials just minutes away from Way Up
If you want a relaxing, value for money, comfortable and friendly place to stay Way Up is for you. If you want to be wined and dined and waited on hand and foot go to the city and pay 10 fold!

We have been to Way Up twice for 5 days each time and never had enough time. We have recommended Way Up to friends who have also been and loved the place. When we are next back in the area, and we will be, Way Up will be on our list. Glyn & Ann Jones Macclesfield England.
