The hotel is great. It absolutely exceeded my expectations. There is a nice restaurant on the 9th floor (reservations are a must). Very nice breakfast/brunch canteen as well (open in the evening as well). There is a small drink/food shop as well. The view from the top of the hotel is gorgeous - make sure even if it is not pool season to go and take a look at Lion's head. Totally recommend. For Cape Town it is essential to have all these at hand without the need to walk out at evening. Area was okay but still Cape Town for me is not really a place for evening stroll. During the day - it is close to the beach and Beach road with a lot of people, bars, etc.

Friendly and great hospitality. Comfortable, modern, clean and tidy accommodation. We had our own external doors so we could come and go without having to walk through the main house, but we were connected as wel with another door if we needed to. Our room came with a fridge freezer, kettle, coffee machine, sink and a microwave. Loved the swimming pool! Felt secure and safe. We had a car and the area was a perfect base and the driving distance to lots of different restaurants, and roads easily accessible to go to Cape Town Waterfront, Bloubergstrand, Cape Point or Winelands. It feels central to the whole area. Great accommodation and lovely hosts.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Andi patiently helped me navigate the high tech check in experience. Excellent facilities, spacious and well designed apartments, ultra modern facilities. I arrived early, before check in hours, but I could shower and freshen up before my meeting. The facility also has a lovely airy workspace with a stunning view of Cable Mountain, cafe and pool, all bathed in Cape Town summer sun. Glorious!

This property literally ticks all my boxes. Cleanliness, amazing bed, no carpets, great aircon, fast WiFi and a helpful host. Sam is a perfectionist, and I don’t think he is happy unless you are happy. Perfect location as well with lots of restaurants in walking distance.

    The apartment was spotless. It’s in a great location, a block away from the Long Street, nearby the Green Market and Bo Kaap. You can see the table mountain and Lion’s head from the bed/room. The apartment had all the basic amenities including first kit set and sanitary items. Books, magazines and puzzles for leisure activities were also available.
