    The warm greeting upon arrival and the breathtaking view of Table Mountain from our suite made our stay exceptional. Afternoon tea in the beautiful gardens was a delightful highlight.

    guest experience
    private paradise

    Perfect for families seeking luxury

    The service was great, thanks to the guest experience manager who made us feel special, like we were really valued. The pool area was like our private paradise, where my kids splashed around while we relaxed with drinks.

    It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every cent.

    The property is fantastic for families! The kids' club allowed us to enjoy some downtime while knowing our little one was entertained. We truly appreciated the staff’s friendliness, especially towards our toddler, making our stay feel very welcoming.

    My kids wished there were more activities suited for their age group.

    Luxurious, Luxurious, Luxurious

    Staying in the Beautiful Studio Suite was an absolute dream! The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, and I especially loved the fine views of the meticulously landscaped gardens. The cocktail bar was a highlight too, complete with a talented pianist that resonated perfectly with the lively atmosphere!

    attentive staff
    uncomfortable bed
    noisy rooms

    The stay was perfect for a solo traveler like myself, looking for relaxation before starting an intensive program in Cape Town. The spacious Superior Room was wonderfully decorated, and the serene gardens provided a beautiful setting for unwinding. Special shoutouts to the staff, particularly Sim in the restaurant and the attentive porters, who genuinely made me feel welcomed and cared for throughout my visit.

    The beautiful gardens and inviting pink exterior created a serene atmosphere. I felt like royalty wandering through the exquisite grounds, which were easily accessible, making my stay so enjoyable as a senior woman.

    More comfortable seating around the pool area needed.

    Exceptional experience with stunning gardens and a fantastic pool area. The breakfast was the best I've encountered, showcasing an incredible range. Service was attentive, making you feel genuinely welcomed throughout the stay. However, seating around the pool could be more comfortable, and a few housekeeping details were overlooked.

    beautiful gardens, charming architecture, spacious rooms

    The bathroom facilities need a refresh!!! The limited minibar selection is disappointing, especially given local wine quality!!! Elevators could use an upgrade to match the hotel's charm!!!
