Rutland is a ***** Lodge on the slopes of Table Mountain in the fancy Cape Town district of Oranjezicht. The Old Cape-style house remodeled in the early 20th century by famous British architect Sir Herbert Baker is not only splendid on the outside, inside it is furbished by French owner Jean-Jo who is a collector of exquisite (antique) African Art...

We spent 3 nights at Rutland Lodge between Christmas and New Year and had a most enjoyable stay. It is a beautiful old home that has been cleverly and tastefully renovated to modern standards, yet still retains the charm of bygone days. The staff were great and Jean-Jo, the proprietor, very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were great, especially when the... More

Rutland Lodge exceeded our expectations on every level. The room was beautiful, the linens exquisite and the host was extremely accomodating. The only tip for anyone planning a visit is that there are multiple "5 Montrose" in cape town and if using a navigation system you need to be sure to designate that you are going to 5 Montrose in...

The Rutland Lodge was an excellent choice for us, because we wanted an inn as opposed to a large hotel, and a good location for exploring the city. The inn is a well-run, top notch place, with lovely details. At breakfast, we had made-to-order eggs with an excellent variety of cold items, including fresh fruit bowls prepared each day by... More

Rooms, food, atmosphere are all good. However, when issues arise, the host did not show up and only dealt with them via phone. He quickly got irritated. If you are driving yourself and arriving at night, note that the gate is not on Montrose but on Forest which is not written anywhere. The name of the lodge and the address... More

I stayed at Rutland Lodge at the end of my trip to South Africa. It was quiet elegance in a homey atmosphere. The rooms were outstanding and no two were alike. I stayed in one of the rooms that was off the main floor and past the kitchen. It had a working fireplace in it and was large. It also... More

We've just come back from 2 weeks in Cape Town, which was amazing- especially as we stayed at the Rutland Lodge! It had spectacular views over the city, the Lion's Head, Signal Hill with the back drop of Table Mountain. We were warmly greeted by Schalk- who made our stay very special, preparing us delicious breakfasts with healthy fresh options... More

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights in February. We had a great time and we had a lovely large room downstairs (no 6) with a great bed and linens plus a large and totally separate bathroom. What we loved most about RL was the homely atmosphere which put us immediately at ease. Jean the owner... More

We travelled with friends who stayed at this B&B (we recommended it to them from previous trips) unfortunately we had to fly out that night. The owner however made no issue of us storing our luggage and even put in extra towels in our friends room so we could shower before departing to the airport. This only confirmed to us... More
