.Everything, the food was exceptional breakfast and dinner yum yum. I was there to celebrate my 40th birthday. From Nokulunga making sure I got the view🤗 thanks so much and Thando ensuring the kitchen prepared a special something for my special day. To everyone else, the entire team is friendly and professional. I was traveling with my 6 year old and there is a park next to the hotel where he immensed himself in play and its super safe. The location of the hotel is amazing. The hotel itself exceeded my expectations. I will definitely come back
