    homemade cake
    cramped room

    Delightful cake after a busy day

    Every afternoon, the hotel treated us to homemade cake, a delightful surprise that perfectly complemented the local vibes and made each return feel special.

    The only downside was that the room felt a bit cramped as the days went by, but the beautiful surroundings made me overlook it.

    room size

    I had a fantastic five-night stay! The fresh daily cakes were a delightful treat, and the breakfast menu always had something new to enjoy. The only downside was that my room wasn't as large as the one in the photos, but it was still cozy. I would definitely choose this place again!

    An Unforgettable Honeymoon Retreat!

    Our stay was simply magical! The breathtaking views of Table Mountain from our room were complemented by the exquisite morning breakfasts and delightful afternoon teas. A memorable touch was the team’s thoughtful gesture of providing early breakfast for our cycling event. Don’t miss the honesty bar for refreshing drinks!

    Best Stay Ever

    Had the best time! Super cozy vibe, and the staff bent over backwards to make us feel at home. Morning breakfasts were amazing—freshly made and tasty! Our room was stylish and comfy. Only thing was the air conditioning was a bit noisy, which was a little annoying at night.

    cozy lounge
    self-service fridge
    limited breakfast

    The colorful and welcoming lounge provides ample cozy seating areas for guests to relax, making it feel like home. The self-service honesty fridge stocked with drinks adds a casual touch, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

    The breakfast selection is quite limited, and it took a while for the food to arrive, which can be a hassle for early risers. Accessing luggage can be a challenge due to stairs, and rooms are in dire need of maintenance, issues prevalent enough that you'll notice quite easily. While we initially checked into the wrong room, the upgrade was appreciated, but the promised help with luggage never materialized, which left us managing quite a bit on our own during the stay.
