Athol and Tammy accommodated me at very short notice and in the middle of winter when they weren't really open - their hospitality and helpfulness was greatly appreciated. I had a wonderfully nurturing two days there - amidst rainstorms - but was kept warm and snug in a lovely comfortable cottage that contained everything I needed. Thank you both again for a great time and your warm welcome. I can highly recommend this lovely abode!

I loved staying at Le Bonheur Villa. I stayed longer than anticipated. I originally booked to stay for a few days which ended up being a two month stay. It was perfect for me travelling solo in the Winter months. The bed was most comfortable and the space was cosy. When it rained, I took the opportunity to catch up on some movies on the satellite channel offering. I love taking long walks. Le Bonheur is a stones throw from Bel Ombre Greenbelt which is a beautiful stretch of green grass and trees, ideal for leisurely walks. There are mountain biking & horse trails and it feels like you are in the countryside but with breathtaking views of the backdrop of Table Mountain and the Constantiaberg. I attached some photos to give every traveller an accurate indication of how lush and green everything is, after the much needed Winter rainfalls the Cape is known for. This brings me to the efforts that my host, Athol has worked hard at achieving a water and energy efficient eco environment to beat the challenges of water restrictions. He has solar heating as well as a borehole, but has also gone to great lengths of informing all his guests by educating them on how to best conserve water and at the same time have an enjoyable vacation. I will be taking some of the tips home that I learned. All in all, my time at Le Bonheur was a memorable experience. I will be recommending this lovely property with its manicured gardens to all my friends and family. Thank you Athol and your kind staff!

Wonderful property We had a wonderful stay at LeBonheur in Constantia Cape Town. Athol and his manager were so friendly and accommodating in hosting us! We had lovely memories with Jacko the African gray Also nice lovely solar heated pool won’t forget that which was everyone’s favorite . In the end highly recommended for who wants a nice and relax holiday in mother city Cape Town Will definitely go back . Thanks for wonderful memories Athol

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Athol's home in Constantia. It is a wonderful, sunny spot with great outdoor space and huge amounts of room for large parties to spread out and stay out of each other's hair. Athol was a great host helping us with any issues but giving us our space most of the time. I would highly recommend this booking to those visiting Cape Town, especially if you are looking for a homebase for your family as you explore the sites around town.

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa at Le Bonheur. The unit was well furnished, comfortable and clean. It was everything we were looking for in terms of our needs. The outside pool was fantastic as well. Constantia is such a beautiful suburb to stay in. Thanks to Athol and his team for looking after us. Would definitely stay again.

Das Haus ist wunderbar zentral und ruhig gelegen und aufgrund der hervorragenden Küche, aber auch der excellenten Lage zu den vielen Restaurants bestens für Selbstversorger und andere Gäste geeignet. Athol und sein Team kümmern sich rührend um die Gäste und das Haus. Jako ist oft der "King" aller Gäste. Der Blick auf die Rückseite des Tafelberges zu allen Tageszeiten traumhaft, am schönsten zum Sonnenaufgang. Wir kommen 2018 gern wieder.

Le Bonheur Guesthouse that sleeps 12 people is excellent for a big family. The rooms are neat, spacious and have all the necessary equipment. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is absolutely perfect for cooking a feast. All cutlery and utensils you can think of are available. The house is secure and has a beautiful garden and other facilities. The presence of the owner in the property also makes staying at the house very hospitable because he's always available to address issues as they arise. You won't be bothered by his presence because he stays at the back and will not be on your face. He's also very friendly. However, if it is the Jacuzzi and the heated pool that attracts you to the place, be sure to visit the place when the weather is hot because the solar power used by the property only provides those services when it's hot. Also inform the owner of your showering times because the geysers are timed in terms of when to start heating up the water. The fact that the TV's in the bedrooms only have minimal channels and what you watch in your room is determined by what the other guests in the other rooms want to watch is a minor issue because you can still get all channels in the main lounge. Cape Town is generally having water shortages and don't be surprised if you get there and you're restricted on the use of bath tubs. Nonetheless, my family had a great time at Le Bonheur Guesthouse and recommend it for families needing comfortable, spacious, quiet and friendly environment. Tumi

The property itself is an excellent place to stay, up to ~30mins drive from most of the best places to visit in cape town. I recommend it for a large family, and we shall definitely look to visit again. I will note that when you are making payment, avoid bank transfers, we had a problem with that and ended up losing half our deposit. Make sure you confirm all instructions on phone, email alone may not be safe enough.

Le Bonheur is a wonderful place to stay in the Cape Town area. It is closed to all important attractions. The place is very beautifull and very clean. The kitchen was was amazing and equipped with everything (better than ours at home ;-). There are many places to stay and relax in the Le bonheur Environment. The Hosts where very friebdly and was helping us in everything !!!. We can fully recommend this place. Thanks again to Joy and Athol

We had a wonderful stay at Le Bonheur. Athol and Joy were friendly, accommodating and relaxed. The cottage is beautiful - big and very well appointed - it includes everything you'd ever need and is very secure. We would definitely return!

The Property is very well located in a quiet area 15 minutes away for the city center and a short reach to some great wineries. Athol is a the best host you can ask for and he will be glad to help you with all your questions. We weren't able to use the pool and hot tub because of a storm a few days before but Jacko was a good compensation.

Le Bonheur is well situated and has a stunning view of the mountains, quiet but central, Constatia Village and Kirstenbosch gardens but 5 min. away. We were an extended family of 10 and had ample room to relax in the many sitting locations and lounges in the house. The kitchen is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing (with the range of age groups, we had a diverse need for different equipment - all to be had). The bedrooms are very comfortable, main en suite, and generally the house is very clean and maintained by friendly staff who also wash and iron! Athol met us and gave us a run down on the house as well as always being available for our needs and tips for where to do what, an excellent host. A heated pool and jacuzzi are available as well as a roof-top terrace for sundowners, great. Masses of fridge room and bar facilities are available. I would recommend this to anyone no matter what one is looking for, a truely versatile villa.

Without a doubt this "gem of a find" far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by everything from the tranquility and surrounds, to the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the accommodation. If you are looking for comfort with a truly homely feel without compromising on the "holiday feeling" then I would highly recommend staying here. It is private and secure, yet welcoming and accommodating at the same time. We loved being close enough to shops, beautiful wineries, amazing walking tracks and all that Cape Town has to offer, yet set back from the noise of traffic etc in what is clearly one of the most lavish suburbs in South Africa. my wife and I....and our 20 month old son enjoyed every minute of our stay at LeBonheur having chosen to stay in one of the beautifully renovated cottages (Lime Cottage) on the property, adjacent to the main house. Our host, Athol, was never far if we needed anything, and always welcoming and keen to be of service. We will most certainly be returning, and have already recommended LeBonheur to friends of ours here in Sydney Australia. Top marks for a top place to stay in Africa's most enjoyable city, Cape Town!

My Wife and I loved the place! It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, especially corkscrews for all the wine farms surrounding Le Bonheur! Athol, the owner is very friendly and was a excellent host!

Our stay at Le Bonheur was absolutely wonderful! We had the best holiday ever in Cape Town with magic weather. The hosts, Athol and Marius were very accommodating and helpful with our requests. The Villa is very well equipped with everything that you might need including all washing and ironing requirements. The domestic staff are polite friendly and helpful. Le Bonheur is perfectly situated in Constantia, about 5 minutes from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where we had an enjoyable picnic. We also spent time on the beautiful white beaches and enjoyed the magical nightlife of Cape Town. The feature we enjoyed most about the property was all the patios with frameless glass doors which we had open during the day. When we got back to the Villa form exploring Cape Town we relaxed in the heated pool and jacuzzi and had sun downers on the top patio overlooking the back of Table Mountain. I can definitely recommend Le Bonheur for a relaxing 5 star holiday

Everyone on this estate was extremely nice, helpful and welcoming. Unlike other places we've stayed at, the host, Marius, was there to greet us upon arrival and show us all of the amenities and facilities, including the local grocery store (only 5 minutes away). Everyone felt comfortable and at home at Le Bonheur. When we arrived the jacuzzi was not working, but the host got repairmen to fix it the next day. The place is located in Constantia and was near all of the attractions we wanted to go to, like the Botanical Gardens. We had a wonderful weekend of relaxation there, and each lady that came to clean every morning was extremely helpful. We would no doubt stay there again.
