I stayed at Poplar Tree Lodge for 5 nights as a solo guest in April 2013. The owners are an absolute delight, the accommodation is spotless and faultless. Vivian the owner very thoughtfully upgraded me to a larger suite as it was free, and what a treat. Lovely views from the front window down over the valley, peace and quiet,... More

We spend 2 nights at this lodge in Hout Bay. Just a 30 minute ride from CPT airport, we arrived late evening welcomed by our Vivienne (the host) who quickly showed us around our beautiful suite with large terrace with great view. We enjoyed breakfast service which was very well prepared by Vivienne and served on the porche. Very relaxing... More

We had an amazing week at Poplar Tree Lodge - the location is great if you want to be close to Cape Town, but not right in the city. It's easy to get to all the attractions by car. Viv is a great host and we can't wait to go back!

My family recently moved to Hout Bay, so I needed a new place to stay while visiting. I booked early with the Poplar Tree Lodge, and arrived the 17th of December. Everyone at the Lodge made me feel welcome. Vivienne and Marshall are wonderful hosts. They are available to answer questions and help with directions to the area. I stayed... More

One of the best places we've ever visited. Vivienne's service and personality is great. Will recomment this to any person. The rooms are big,clean and well decorated. The unit was serviced everyday and left very tidy. The view is good. Vivienne were very helpful in exploring the Cape. Excellant place to stay.

This, our 2nd stay at Poplar Tree Lodge, was as good as the first. We really enjoyed coming back and Vivienne was as accommodating as ever.

What a nice surprise!!! Very neat, clean, tastefully decorated accommodation overlooking Hout Bay. The reception was warm and friendly and I felt like it was home away from home. I stayed for 6 nights, wish I could have stayed longer. Whenever I come to Cape Town again for business, I'll be staying at Poplar.

The accommodation was excellent! The setting was beautiful and overlooked Hout Bay, really enjoyed that the lodge was nestled against the mountain. The breakfast was fresh and I can highly recommend including this in your stay! Couldn't be better!
