An amazing experience. Waking up with the delight of Table Mountain and fresh air.




Peaceful and relaxing. Thanks, we enjoyed it!


11 Night of Hell at Cheval Vapeur by

I would like to say the place does not look like it seems on the photos or advert. It was a terrible stay to put it bluntly. 1. The cottages don't have their own ablution facilities, you literally walk through a swarm/business of flies to get to the ablution facilities then you have to fight with the flies first before you relieve yourself or take a shower (Unhygienic). 2. There are flies everywhere in and outside of the cottages due to the horses being next to the cottages, you can't really have a good night sleep. 3. The smell of the horses, you can't even have a descent braai outside or even cook inside because of the heat and flies, therefore you can't even close the door, you will definitely suffocate 4. There are not air conditioners or fans due to the heat 5. We had challenges with the TV which we had to pay for and ended up not using it 6. We literally stayed out all the time and only came to lay down our hats. "DEFINITELY NOT FOR LIVABILITY OF HUMAN BEINGS" WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE I KNOW


2 NIGHT STAY FOR 3 PEOPLE by

This was our second visit to Cheval Vapeur and we were pleasantly surprised to see that it was in much better shape than the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it was actually a pity we didn't stay longer. The owners are very helpful and always ready for a chat. They were also available late at night with any concerns we had. I can recommend Cheval Vapeur for an experience different to the norm. Despite it not being located in one of the more "tourist friendly" areas of the Cape, we never once felt unsafe. Not during our stay, and not during the trips there and back. It is within 20 minutes or so of most popular tourist attractions. We will definitely consider staying here again on future visits.

I loved that their was no disturbances, it was peace and quiet and we could truly enjoy our stay


nothing by

there was no tuck shop as advertised. Forget to fetch me at the airport. Charged R300 for fetching me at the airport - into town it was only R200. My booked room was not ready. There was a lot of flies
