My Wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in March before doing the Garden Route. The room was more than adequate for our purposes as we had a full itinerary during the days and evenings.

Nice hotel under the Table Montain in a quite area, room easy but clean. With Spa and pool, kids were happy about it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. In our family room was no fridge. The location is excellent with a stunning view of the Table Mountain and quite close to the main attractions!

Our third time staying at hotel and cant wait to go back. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Gerald makes the best cocktails and ensures there are samosas and spring rolls available. Very friendly, clean and hospitable in all ways. Dave, Jacqueline, James and Rachel Robinson

Exceptionally clean rooms and bathrooms. Just a pity that the airconditioner is like a noisy motorbike. It was not only in our room, but also in my mom's room.... More

This has always been a good place for me to stop-over;Right in town and close to the freeways going to the business areas and the suburbs and yet somewhat quiet in pretty grounds with a decent view and a pool.
