We had a superb stay at this luxurious hotel. The location in a quiet area near the sea point was perfect. The staff were exceptionally helpful and discreet, making us feel very welcome. The whole venue exceeded our expectations with its beautiful interior design and spacious layout. Our luxury suite was perfect, with a small private patio, lounge area, and dressing room. The room amenities were top-notch, including an ironing facilities, heating, air conditioning, and a mini-bar. The breakfast was excellent and the staff did not forget our special requests. The leisure facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool and garden area, provided a peaceful and relaxing environment. We highly recommend this place to families looking for a quality and comfortable hotel.

This hotel is not pet-friendly, but we still highly recommend it to families.

I had a wonderful stay at a beautiful villa with elegant decor. The location was perfect - quiet yet close to the center and Table Mountain. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The staff attended to everything and the breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this hotel.

United Kingdom, March 2023

This guest house offered a tasty breakfast, with eggs made to order. The location was great, situated near local shops and restaurants, and close to a major bus route. The property itself had a charming and historic vibe.

The reception staff seemed to lack knowledge about local attractions and activities. Some minor issues were present but were resolved quickly by the staff.

9.6/10

United Kingdom, March 2023

Spacious and airy building. Enormous bay window in our room. Well-maintained and spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfasts. Helpful staff. Centrally located for exploring Cape Town.

Nothing to fault.
