I felt like I’m staying with wealthy friends who live on a spectacular ocean-view hill, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but who also have professional staff ensuring warm yet perfect hospitality. Delicious full-service breakfast overlooking Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Large rooms with shared terraces. Access to a play room in the evening. Secure parking. Friendly and kind staff. Location about 15 minute drive from downtown.

The view was breathtaking. Opening the curtains in the morning to the view of the ocean and mountains was worth getting out of bed every day, and having South African wine on the balcony at night was a peaceful treat. The room was well appointed and spacious, and the staff was very attentive and helpful.
