From the minute you are welcomed into the Hotel you feel that you are very special. The service from the front desk to the Restaurant is first class with nothing being too much trouble. The quality of the food was outstanding and the selection of wines were perfect. We stayed in a deluxe Suite which was very large and had a great outlook on one of the pools. It was never crowded and you could walk freely around the well kept gardens, sometimes seeing a resident turtle amongst the vines. Overall highly recommended as it is not in the City so a more relaxed stay. Overall one of the best Hotels we have stayed in and would recommend anyone who is thinking of going there

What an oasis of calm so close to Cape Town. This property offered high end service, food and quality. To visit here after the busyness of being on the coast was heaven. The staff could not do enough for you and that personal touch still shone through even though it was bigger than our previous two stays. It was the only stay where we felt able to put the car away for a while and just enjoy what the hotel had to offer
