Our stay at the hotel was nothing short of amazing! From the cozy rooms with stunning views of Table Mountain to the incredible service provided by the staff, everything was just perfect. We loved the breakfast spread every morning, though I wish there were even more hot options available. The ambiance was incredibly inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. Overall, it was an incredible value for money, and we can't wait to come back!
