Cape Town respite You will have to look hard to find a better home-away-from-home in Cape Town than this spot: 17 On Loader Guest House.

Security was good, which I felt... More

I did not use the roof terrace this time, but will certainly do so in warmer weather. I have two suggestions: the... More
