The friendlyness of Sue, the owner and all fhe staff. We had serious issues with our car, which make us arriving and departing late, and even if they haven't much to do with the booking itself, she was very helpful and so kind to resolve.

Andrew United Kingdom

Great location close to the pld Drosdty and all of the best restaurants. Great and friendly staff, very polite and they worked hard. Lovely breakfasts in the old restaurant and the little villa room are spread around a beautiful garden with one small pool and one large pool. Great views from your room of the the Langeberg mountains. We enjoyed our short stay.

Lovely hotel. Close to restaurants etc, however many restaurants closed on a Monday. Exceptionally clean, staff lovely, very nice breakfast

Anne United Kingdom

The old, colonial guesthouses look great, are well maintained and well equipped. The set up around the swimming pool is nicely done. Nice plus was the swing and trampoline for kids. It was a pity that we only stayed one night, The accommodation but also the scenery is inviting to stay longer.

  • Hi! We’d like to book a chalet for 3 person. Says in the description there is 2 rooms but the picture only shows one and one bathroom. Could you confirm there are 2 separate bedrooms ?:)
    Dear Guests, Thank you for your question. In the description it says 2 rooms and shared bathroom. In first picture, entrance to second room is shown (not super clear). So, yes there are 2 separate bedrooms. Kind regards, Hotel Roosje van de Kaap
