We stayed for 6 days. So sad to leave. Sandy looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. Our spacious room opened onto a terrace overlooking a beautiful pool and garden area. A great breakfast. Staff were excellent always smiling, in a great leafy quiet residential area and only a 5 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. We will be back when we return to South Africa ##### Peter Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steinar 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Steinar Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 9 Aug 2024 ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice 10 May 2024 ##### Janice Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thulisile 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Thulisile Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 11 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay.
