About

The Buddha Garden

The Buddha Garden is a small, adults-only hotel set on Beaufort Road, a five-minute walk from Milnerton Lagoon.

Each studio includes a kitchenette with tea and coffee facilities, cookware, and an electric kettle. There are electric blankets for the cooler months, and some rooms overlook the garden or courtyard. The property is run by a host known for personal touches like welcome snacks, local tips, and even a bus card and umbrella for guests.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • High-scoring service and staff — Guests consistently praise the host's helpfulness, local tips, and personal touches like welcome snacks and a stocked fridge.
  • Well-equipped kitchenettes — Each studio comes with a kitchen setup that includes a kettle, cookware, and in some cases an electric egg cooker – enough for preparing simple meals.
  • Free private parking — Onsite parking is complimentary, a practical advantage in Cape Town where secure parking can be a concern.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Adults-only policy — The property does not accommodate children, so families travelling with young ones should look elsewhere.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 19:00, which may be tight for late flights or slow border crossings.
  • No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals won't be able to bring them, despite the garden setting.
