I bought this stay as part of a present for my parent’a 50th wedding anniversary. They loved the place and the friendliness of the hosts, Shaun, Yutah and Ivan. The breakfasts were excellent (mother raves about the bread). The location is great, especially for Kloof Street.

The staff was helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean, the bed comfortable and the location was superb!!

The staff here are absolutely wonderful!! They were very accommodating and responsive. Pam was amazing and truly went above and beyond for me and my fiancé when my flight was delayed. The breakfast staff was also a delight. We were greeting warmly each morning by Blessings, and received excellent care from the rest of the staff. Its off the beaten path so very serene and cozy.
