Me and my wife stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even left rose petals and sparkling wine in the room for us. The hotel has a very classic and stylish feel and contrary to other reviews which state noise being a problem we had no issues at all.

Arrived earlier than the official check in time to be met by the friendliest hotel reception we have ever experienced! The reception area itself was stunning, great views over the beach and a relaxing bar to watch the sunsets. Everywhere was spotless, very modern and comfortable. Our room (202) was great, with views of the mountains from one side of the balcony and the beach on the other. I could have sat on the balcony all day to be honest (the room came with a fridge stocked with beer and...

Tracey & Mark were lovely, very attentive. Boho suite was smaller than expected felt a bit closed in due to lack of views/light from windows. The other rooms were beautiful though. They had lovely linen and wines for sale also. Nice location in Tokai. Would go again.

A truly magical stay, really brilliant dinner and all drinks included which makes it better value for money. Lovely staff. Only downside is the rooms are tired and the whole pool and bathrooms need maintenance. Also a wider breakfast choice perhaps it is a bit limited. Thanks to Kim for looking after us perfectly.

We were impressed with South Beach and, being fractionally away from the noise and occasional seaweedy whiff of the main strip, meant that it was perfectly located in Camps Bay (still the best place to stay if you haven't been to Cape Town before). It's also conveniently located for the tidal pool where you can swim in warmer water than the sea. And all of Camp Bay's bars, cafes and restaurants are still only a few minutes walk away. Staff were always friendly and helpful as well as politely...

Beautiful hotel in every way. The staff are the best I've ever known. Nothing is too much trouble and they all have a very friendly manner. The Concierge staff were so helpful and knowledgeable. The Hotel is perfect for ease of trips around the Cape and is only 5 mins walk from the V & A Waterfront. If I had to think of one thing that I was disappointed in, it was that the pool was very small. No good for swimming, more of a plunge pool but still very relaxing. Food was wonderful.

Also has a shuttle to the V&A waterfront if you want to shop or see some restaurants. Staff excellent and restaurants and room service were good with varied menus.

The hotel is about 20 minutes by uber from the town which was perfect. Right by the beach and also an excellent 30 minute walk along the beach to the nearest town and bars. There is also a good restaurant/bar about 5 minutes round the corner. The hotel itself was brilliant. It is in a quiet residential area, very safe, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and everything was great. The food at breakfast was fantastic, as was the evening meals that we had.

Perfect spot, very central, staff are great, car parking available. Included breakfast was fab, both continental and cooked and you have a great view of Table Mountain while you have it. Rooms very comfortable and despite overlooking the car park and piazza, was surprisingly quiet. They had turn down service so we came back after night out to closed curtains, air con on and bottles of water beside the beds, which was a lovely touch.
Only thing I’d say negative is that they didn’t make much of...
