I am late in writing this review as we had the absolute privilege of staying here in September of 2024. Obviously, I still think about our lovely stay at this beautiful guest house in Cape Town. We had one of the larger rooms, but even the smaller ones are lovingly decorated. The breakfasts were hardy and delicious and well presented. The staff were extremely helpful in ordering tickets for us to Robben Island and arranging transportation to the wine country which was a wonderful day well spent in a beautiful area. Great service and a lovely property. Thank you all for making our three night stay with you so memorable.
