The best value for money I have seen in a long time. I have to say that it has one of the most tranquil, perfect settings I have come across. Excellent for families, groups or individuals. I won't stay anywhere else in Somerset West. There is nothing we don't like at Chelaya Lodge. Well done Mike and Harriet. Wish we... More

this is the perfect spot if you visiting the WC and want to visit Cape Town as well as all the wine farms around. Close to the N2. Harriet and Mike are great hosts! Great for family gatherings and large tour groups

Incredibly good value and superlative hosts......there is no better place to stay in the Somerset West area. Came alone to visit friends in the area, so the hire car came in very handy. Only 15 mins away from the Helderberg Nature Park....super for hyking and bird watching.

We will definitely come back and we will also refere our friends as well. Well done Harriet and team! Missy and Jonathan....

What a lovely restful weekend we had at Chelaya Country Lodge! The accommodation was terrific - a home away from home. The gardens are beautiful - lovely lawns and flowerbeds, ponds with ducks and geese, waterlilies in bloom, and hens and chicks clucking around. What more could one ask for? Monkey Town is just around the corner for those with... More

Chelaya is tucked away in the Cape winelands but has a rare advantage: You are surrounded by vineyards & the ocean. As a Capetonian I can say this is unique. It is a luxurious B&B, with delicious food & great hospitality. I can also recommend Chelaya as a base for those traveling from afar for an annual holiday. It's close... More
