We were lucky to get a last minute booking here and we couldn’t fault our one night stay. From our arrival at the reception, the porter Sunshine’s friendly helpful service taking us to our beautiful accommodation, the plentiful supply of logs for the fire in our room, wonderful bath and toiletries and the delicious food both at dinner and breakfast the next day. The coffee at breakfast was the best hotel coffee I’ve had in a long time. The only disappointment was that due to load shedding we couldn’t use the spa facilities during our afternoon but I had a wonderful time using the pool , sauna etc the next day before walking back through the beautiful gardens before sadly having to say goodbye. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

From the moment we arrived, Vanessa, the host, was incredibly welcoming and kind, making our stay truly memorable. The space immediately felt intimate and inviting. The entire property is beautifully decorated with stylish, high-end furnishings, and every corner has its own unique charm. It truly felt like staying in a designer home. The bedrooms were equally stunning, with elegant decor and luxurious linens, ensuring a very comfortable stay. We genuinely didn't want to leave this little piece of paradise.

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.
