We were blown away by this hotel. The people were just so lovely, the food was delicious. There were so many nice touches like putting hot water bottles in our beds for when we'd return from dinner, pre-booking us into restaurants before we arrived to guarantee we were able to eat somewhere (and being completely flexible when we wanted to amend/cancel etc) and leaving us champagne in our room one…
Wonderfull small boutique hotel on the shadow of Cape mountain with excellent service and could not do enough for us. Like a home away from home. The breakfast was also nice.
