10/10 Exceptional! (5 reviews)

This property was located further out than expected due to the traffic going to all the tourist sites like Lions head, Cape of good Hope, etc. But if you are okay with a 30-40 Uber/Taxi ride then it’s an excellent place to stay. The staff was amazing, and even while they were short staffed they did an amazing job. I upgraded to Studio 3 since it was available and was worth every dollar spent. The Mountain View’s, ocean view and the amazing sunsets made it all worth it. This place offers a simple walk onto the beach, a nice relaxing pool area to enjoy, and breakfast every morning along with the option of dinner being cooked upon request. It is located in a very upscale neighborhood, which is very safe to walk/jog around during the morning or evening hours. This property will not disappoint if you are looking for a relaxing time!
