"Our family stay was great. Personal contact with the owners was appreciated. The laid back casual atmosphere made us feel comfortable and at home away from home. Will definite recommend and go back again. God bless. Marilyn Reuben and family "

"Great value for money, very suitable for family of 4, as we were. Spacious living area & kitchen. Apartment serviced daily, neat and tidy. Has all that you need. Would stay again and recommend Elements Lodge.

"

"It's really a nice place with lovely management and staff, enjoyed our stay there."

Very good home and backpackers atmosphere. The lodge is homely. Ideally located between Cape Town, the sea and other points of interest.

Tip: rent a car."

"Our time at Elements was amazing, Esther and Reno are very friendly and helpful and knowledgable of the area, best routes etc. Will definitely stay there again."

"The hosts were very friendly, place very clean, value for money very good."

"From begining to end Remo and Esther were the perfect hosts. Highly recommend this hostel, probably better if you have your own transport though. Great place :-)"

"Elements is in general a good guesthouse. Unfortunately was our room not equipped with a TV (as mentioned in the information). The information talks about Hammocks but there is only one hammock and not exactly in any state to be used. Unfortunately because the owners were not there and the person who took it over could not always help us. She new many things but some things that the guest house offers she could not help us with, eg. telephone cards. I would recommmend Elements to other people, the rooms were clean and neat and that is also important."

"Very friendly and helpful owners!"

"Very nice place, quiet and peaceful. Well taken care of and easily accessible. I would go back there again."

"My stay at Elements was lived up to the expectations, host was in touch with me until I checked in, lodge is well maintained and in a very safe area. Near to all amenities.
If I get a chance I will surely visit again.
Good luck to Stefan and Anja.
Regards.
Naveen."

"Spacious, clean rooms were a welcome sight after our long drive. The pool and garden was a perfect end to a busy day of sight seeing.
Kitchen was well equipped.
Management was friendly."

"Very friendly owners and great environment the garden layout is amazing and would recommend it to anyone."

"We had a lovely stay and would visit Elements(Cape Town) again"

The house is generally well maintained, my single en suit room was comfortable and clean. Anja, co-manager, was very pleasant and waited up for me because I was late on arrival. I appreciated that! Would I stay there again? Yes."

"Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. As a young, aspiring Journalist living and studying in South Africa, I was looking for a well priced establishment to fit my budget and my personality.

And boy, did I find it. A week of good time and laughter at a rate too close to 'insane', with young people such as myself from across my own world.

"Elements backpackers' lodge" is just where you want to be if you are looking for great, friendly service and an entertaining stay in SA. With a breathtaking view of the great Table Mountain - no matter what side you see it from.

Elements has proven to be the most comfortable stay I have ever experienced travelling alone or living away from home. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Thank you to all my new friends at Elements for making this whole experience more worth while for me and making me feel a part of the stage group. I love you for that. There is no where I would rather be.

"I liked the Elements a lot. I booked when I was already in Cape Town. I got lost and Remo came to get me so I wouldn't get lost again. Esther & Remo were so friendly and the atmosphere was peaceful.

I don't have anything negative to say about the Elements, but it was cold at nights (winter time). Neighborhood was quiet and safe, bus station near and close to the city. Excellent, and I hope to see them again some day. Moreover, I loved that place."

"Totally unexpected diamond in the rough. When we saw the price, we thought it can't be good - boy were we wrong! A goof mistake to make...this place was clean and well run. Great place to stay as a private group or as a backpacker! Nice people all around!"

"The house is very nice, clean, comfortable and there was a very welcoming atmosphere. There was a nice garden to share with the other guests with a small but nice pool. I enjoyed my stay and I can recommend this accommodation to people who like a young and easy lifestyle."

"Elements was a great place to stay. Our room was very clean and was kept clean throughout our week stay. Having the pool and the braai on site for guests is an added bonus. The staff were very helpful and friendly. "

"For a family of 5 we were well accommodated with appliances and room for everyone. What an original set up to fully display the 4 elements making each room come alive in all its decoration and colour. The establishment has much to offer and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back."

"Friendly environment. Stylish house design and helpful house keeper. We were glad we had a car as it is quite far away from city center."

"It was really entertaining for us to stay at the room there and we are very delighted to be there. Our stay was very safe and worthwhile. We wish the best for the Elements in Cape Town. "

"Elements has exceeded my expectations, the friendliness of the lady who checked us in was extremely welcoming. She was very patient as we arrived 30 minutes late to her finishing time. We don't know Cape Town that well, and they were very helpful with directions, they even provided us with map to assist with direction, and therefore we did not spend that much time getting lost. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, they dealt with every single extra request I had put in the request form. The flatlet is very refreshing, finishings are very modern. The views are outstanding, very close to amenities. The surroundings are very peaceful which makes your stay very tranquil and relaxing. I will definitely recommend to the public. And I will definitely be back...."

"We enjoyed our stay at Elements in the end of our journey very much. There are two things we appreciated so much: The friendly, hearty welcoming and caring for all our needs by Julia (Esther and Remo were in holidays) and, on the other hand, the wonderful, clean and safe house (unfortunately, we could not enjoy the neat garden because of the weather).
We liked the original concept of arranging the different accommodations inspired by the four elements of life: Water, fire, earth and air. This gives a very special, artistic touch to this house. There is a very good and clear energy around that made us feel very much at home and happy. For the self-catering we found everything we needed.
Thanks so much for everything! "

"Warm and friendly hosts, restful and quiet environment, a short drive to Shopping centres, beaches and Central Cape Town. Splendid view of Table Mountain!

The Accommodation at Elements was comfortable very neat and clean with basic requirements, we found it ideal as we planned each of the 4 days, we were able to see 4 of the big 6 attractions and return each day, I would recommend this Lodge to anyone. The price was affordable, and met with our needs."

"Thank you to Esther and Remi for your warmth and hospitality. My parents and I felt very comfortable at your place. You always had time for us and were very patient in answering the thousand questions we had."

"It has a nice atmosphere with friendly and helpful owners. The rooms are nice as they have a nice design, no heating or air con. We enjoyed our stay."

"We weren't expecting much for the money we paid BUT what a pleasant surprise. The sporty lodge is so clean you could eat off the floors! It's located perfectly in Table View - close to everything! Our room (FIRE) was upstairs with lounge, kitchenette, TV, bathroom and bedroom. A small apartment rather than a room! The entire lodge is decorated beautifully and is extremely well maintained. The garden is indeed a small "paradise" to enhance even further your stress free stay! We had an awesome time and wish there were "Elements" all over SA! We'll definitely visit again... Thanks to Silvia, Esther & Remo!"

"The venue is superb, as it is centrally situated. I managed to go for morning runs in preparation for the two oceans half marathon, and was not even scared. The area is very safe. I found a lot of morning runners on the road giving me the runners greeting, which made me feel at home immediately. It ..."

I found a lot of morning runners on the road giving me the runners greeting, which made me feel at home immediately. It is within short distance (driving) to waterfront, Virgin Active and Table View Mall.

We really enjoyed our stay. Ester is an excellent host. I loved the self catering unit which also catered for separate beds for my kids. I will definitely return to the same accommodation in 2008. With regard to the cost, it was the cheapest comparing to other bed and breakfast's in the same area.
"

"If I ever have to stay in the Cape again, it will defenately be at Elements. Not only was the living quarters the best, the service was so as well.

Esther was an excellent host and I will recommend Elements to anybody.

THANK YOU ESTHER!!!!"
