We are completely thrilled with the Clarendon Fresnaye! We spent the end of our honeymoon in the hotel and felt wonderfully cared for. Although we arrived a little early, we were greeted incredibly warmly by the very charming employee Gift and received some personal tips for Cape Town, excursions and restaurants from him over the welcome drink. Overall, boss Achmed and all his employees are always in a good mood, incredibly helpful and forward-looking. Every morning you are greeted by beaming faces and lovingly looked after - the buffet offers a hand-picked selection of changing dishes, delicious coffee is prepared specifically to your personal taste, egg dishes and more are freshly prepared according to your own wishes. Every wish is met in your eyes. The team also makes special requests possible quickly and easily (e.g. late checkout, extra duvet). The rooms are very nice and clean, the pool area invites you to relax. But what makes Clarendon Fresnaye so unique is simply the magical staff! After just a few days' stay, we had grown so fond of the team that it was really difficult for us to leave. If we come back to Cape Town, our choice will be the hotel again! We send you the best greetings from Germany!!!

When you first arrive the room is presented as neat tidy modern and stylish
