Zensa Lodge  

On South Africa’s Cape Peninsula in Scarborough, minutes from Scarborough Beach and a one-minute walk to the sand. Tucked by the border of Cape Point National Reserve and close to Simon’s Town sights like the South African Naval Museum and Just Nuisance Statue. A boutique guesthouse that’s both pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Seven calming white rooms with design furniture, crisp linens and private balconies or patios for sunset watching. Each room has an en-suite with a deep soaking bath, separate shower and a walk-in wardrobe. The large private garden, music-loving hosts and simple, stylish décor give the place a relaxed, creative vibe. Kids are welcome — there’s a trampoline and tree hut right on site.

Outdoor pool, jacuzzi and a spa area with a sauna and spa tub to unwind. Bar and restaurant on site for easy evenings. Pets allowed and plenty of beach access for surf, kite or coastal hikes — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight to the shore.

Wireless internet access available (surcharge) and free self parking onsite.

A complimentary breakfast is included to start your day. The lodge bar and restaurant serve good food and a fine selection of wines for relaxed, post-beach evenings.
