Through our Doors We welcome so many special and lovely people at iKhaya Lodge and renowned author, editor, broadcaster and publisher Margaret Busby OBE is our first featured guest. Margaret is a divinely gifted, humble and inspirational person who urged me to write again. My love affair with the written word languished abandoned and the written word longs to be written. This month of love it seems apt to celebrate one who has worked so tirelessly at ensuring the Written Word flourishes. Brava Margaret! Margaret Busby OBE

Meet the team... Rennie - Housekeeping Supervisor Rennie, our housekeeping supervisor, has been at iKhaya since the doors first opened just over 10 years ago.

Looking forward Cape Town is an amazing place to be and even more so in the first quarter of the year. Each New Year starts with Cape Minstrals in the downtown streets which follow the bustling night markets around Christmas time under the embrace of festival street lighting. And as though the Amore in February is not enough, in March the Cape Argus Pick n' Pay Cylce Tour (the largest timed cycling event in the world) draws over 35000 avid cyclists to our beautiful vistas. Our grand finale for the quarter, the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, draws musical giants to our shores for two heady days of a jazz musical extravaganza. This year, acclaimed saxophonist Wayne Shorter is featured! So there you are, spoiled for choice for reasons to visit us and enjoy our warm hospitality. See you again soon!
