A must see if near Cape Town! So many African penguins enjoying the sun at bolders beach 😍❤️
A wonderfully curated botanical garden dramatically set against the backdrop of Table Mountain. The garden showcases South Africa's unique flora and is home to many birds and small mammals. Highlights include the fynbos and proteas gardens and the canopy walk. Access to the Skeleton Gorge hike and other Table Mountain trails can be found in the back of the garden. #hiking #nature #garden

Overall it was quite good, but the sink drained very slowly, to the point that it was difficult to use. Also, the bedroom ventilation seems to be connected to the bathroom, so there was occasionally some odor.
