The staff were super friendly and professional. The breakfast has plenty of options and was of high quality.
The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable. The hotel grounds are beautiful with an amazing view!
Great breakfast, excellent staff and wonderful location. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Cape Town.. Not in the city but close enough to visit all the attractions.
There were amazing views. The room was spacious with a huge balcony & a fireplace in the living room. The breakfast was included & made to order. They were very accommodating with our Gluten Free requirements. The staff was very helpful & friendly. We would definitely stay there when we go back to Cape Town.
