Such a treat - plunger coffee in the room, rusks, sherry, beds turned down and cholocates on the pillow - old style treats and hospitality. Excellent breakfast!

Excellent staff. Good food. Good location. Comfy bed. Good room with excellent sea facing balcony.
My only concern was the old fashioned Internet WiFi system which uses a system that regularly failed in our room.

Their parking lot isn't the best, BUT there are the most majestic views, super helpful and accommodating staff, delicious restaurant, & fantastic spa (the full body scrub was AH-MAZING). We had a great time. It was a nice break from a lot of traveling. Our stay was short, but the relaxation was lasting!

The stay was absolutely wonderful, we enjoyed our sea view room and the staff were very nice. Also the Waenhuiskrans Cave was a dream to visit only a few minutes walk from the hotel. Definitely going there again.

Our bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. One more chair would have made even nicer to be able for both to look out to the sea! The bistro needs a little revamping as it lacks atmosphere .
