Stone facades, period details, and contemporary amenities create a distinctive backdrop for destination weddings.
What a special boutique hotel at the top of Bo-Kaap in Cape Town. The location is quiet and serene (removed from the VA waterfront) but it is just a short drive into the town and Ubers are widely available.
