The most amazing stay in all S. Africa trip.

10.0

Everything was exceptional. If you wanna have a feeling like “at home” - you must stay here. It was the best place to stay in our 14 days trip in South Africa. The staff- was more than amazing. The service level - highest calibre. The fireplace in the living room and fire in the evenings was just stunning. The breakfast was so well thought out, included local, boutique meals. Coffee was great. Space of the rooms - next level (nothing in comparison to other hotels). So friendly for kids. Highly recommended for families with kids. The best choice in all Cape Town area.

All was perfect.

Wonderful staff and excellent breakfast 😋

Be aware that if you are mobility impaired, this is not the place for you. I suspect that this is true for the neighbouring properties as well given the gradient of the location.

A very nice surprise and although not a room with a view, still very nice. Small issue in bathroom was attended to very quickly. Nice breakfast in a sunny area with beautiful harbour view.
