The breakfast in the morning is amazing! Fresh bread and a different homemade muffin paired with any type of egg, the best bacon I’ve ever had and wonderful French press coffee. It’s cozy, welcoming, and in an amazing location! The staff is so accommodating and works hard to make your stay exceptional! The larger room with a view of table mountain is absolutely worth spending extra money for, we got a complimentary upgrade from Karen when she found out we were on our honeymoon, and what a treat! We had a little balcony and incredible views of table mountain from anywhere inside the room as well!

The room was beautiful and clean! The complementary port and biscuits were lovely. The owner and the staff were fantastic and very accomodating! We missed a night off our booking and they sorted it out straight away with no stress for us! The night time bar in the lounge was great and the breakfasts were fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful stay !! I highly recommend it!

The room was comfortable, as were the lounges and breakfast room. Lots of courtyards. Parking was on a quiet dead end street that seemed safe, but the first time we weren't behind gates. Breakfast was very ample and delicious, and they had nice evening snacks set out. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice to be able to walk to interesting restaurants.

The service was first rate and the esthetic had a clean classic feel. You truly felt the comforts and care of home from Karen and all of her staff. They were willing to book dinners, tours, whatever made your stay more enjoyable and the breakfasts were very good as well.
