"From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we felt so looked after. Unfortunately they resold the room we had booked and paid for - and were unable to move us to the correct room, as they were fully booked. However; they did offer us dinner in the hotel restaurant that evening, on them, which was gratefully received - and the food and wine was delicious! We only stayed for one night, but certainly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and attentive staff. We especially loved that they serve...

"Amazing facilities, oversized master bedroom and ensuite. The views were amazing and proximity to Simon’s Town, beaches and Cape of Good Hope were highlights. Day trips into the V&A were easy and under an hour.Highly recommended. We would stay here again if we return to South Africa!"

Residence William French

"Don’t let the exterior fool you. William’s place was delightful; a boho French Provence vibe ( he’s from Provence)with a beautiful pool and deck. Staff was lovely too. Rooms are quirky and very large. Really enjoyed the space. William offers some great local wines too. You won’t be disappointed."
