It’s was nothing less than perfect! Beautiful location, amazing rooms, stunning views, modern artistic decor. Went as a family and this place was incredible! Delicious breakfast daily!

Kianga
Cannot find anything to fault. Amazing hotel, facilities, and oom and food. Lenny was probably the best host we have had across may Worldwide trips. The hotel is a bit of a distance from Table Mountain and the V and A waterfront but not so it is a problem. Look forward to coming back again soon.
