Luxurious and Relaxing

Pros: A beautiful B&B. Words cannot describe. While this is not extravagant 5 star luxury, it gave my wife and I a feeling of being our extravagant luxury home away from home for a price perhaps 2 or more times less. The hotel appearance is charming both inside and out. The staff are very welcoming, friendly with warm smiles and willing to help. Suite 4 has a great view of Table mountain with a balcony, one of the best rooms but the others are either equally as good or not far off (most won't have the mountain view). The breakfast is superb, with the table setting looking like it's for a small wedding. The choice of cold (continental) was ample enough without needing a hot breakfast but one can also order a hot meal from the good menu selection to top up after the cold items. The breakfast compares to the best we have had anywhere around the world. We also had a nice hour in the spa bath and looking forward to our remaining 4 days here (spent 4 days here already) where we can laze around, bump into a staff member or fellow guests for a chat and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of this gem of a place.
Cons: Pool was not maintained and very cold and parking inside the gate can occasionally get too full
Location: Nice quiet location just out of the city centre. Near to shops for eating out and to the Rondebosch Common where people walk or run around

great atmospheric place

This is a great colonial house in a nice suburb, halfway to the airport and town. Spacious rooms, clean and tastefully decorated. Staff was lovely. Fantastic breakfast. Wished we had stayed longer.
