We stayed here during the last 4 days of our 8 day trip to Cape Town. We are impressed by the service of the staff and the quality of the room and facilities. The hotel only has about 8 rooms, and like most small boutique hotels, the staff are top notch and very personable. They will make any necessary arrangements... More

We enjoyed the winemaker's dinner very much - it was a great way to meet people and learn about South African wines! Breakfasts were delicious and the staff always helpful and accommodating. Loved the fact... More

We stayed for our honeymoon in March 2011, it was lovely, the rooms large, the service impeccable. Very relaxed, gardens beautifully kept. Short walk to other resturants for lunch, and short car journey to many more. Would reccomend to anyone, and would love to go again! More
