Beautiful setting. Great and spacious bedroom and bathroom suite. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful gardens which were quiet.
At present their restaurant and spa are closed which was disappointing. I would recommend having a car to stay here as it isn’t possible to walk anywhere and it is c30 minutes in a taxi to Cape Town and 15 minutes to Hout bay. We had expected to be able to eat in the hotel.

Very beautiful place.
Needs some minor work to upgrade. Exterior lights etc. jacuzzi could be kept cleaner. Grounds are beautiful, scenery fantastic. Would go again.
