Beautiful, boutique hotel with very friendly staff. Our room was very spacious and beautifully decorated.
The room is large and quiet and they have USB to charge electric devices in the rooms. also the bed very comfortable. Also we have nice view in the ocean. And all staff friendly.
Every thing is perfect
Friendly, attentive, and professional staff. Beautiful ocean and coastal views, the crane not withstanding. Elegantly furnished rooms with all the required amenities.
The hotel would be challenging for disabled persons.
We only stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our trip, but the hotel was extremely relaxing and perfectly situated in Bantry Bay with amazing views over the ocean and even Robben Island in the background. All major restaurant areas in Cape Town (V&A, Camps Bay, Kloof Street etc.) are within 10 mins taxi. There are lovely morning walks towards Seapoint and Camps Bay to start the day.
No negatives really.
Nice room but no hot tube as promised in the reservation , nice full fridge
Old glory tooo much staff around , pool was not swim ready … builders in our vieuw
Very friendly staff.
•Rooms are very poorly soundproofed; the doorbell ringing throughout the night from guests coming and going kept us from sleeping during our entire stay.•Extremely basic amenities; the bathroom is far below the standards one would expect from a place advertised as a 5-star establishment; the bedding is quite mediocre.•Our room was supposed to have a sea view — instead, we had a view of a wall!•The owner was rather unfriendly (unlike the staff, who were absolutely lovely). We shared our dissatisfaction with her; she offered to give us two free nights for our next stay in Cape Town, which is completely irrelevant, as we have no intention of staying at this property again. Since then, we haven’t received any response, with the excuse that she is out of the country.
Rooms are large, clean and spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean, with only 13 rooms the service was very personal and staff are excellent. Election of items for breakfast was very big, in fact too much to choose from.
Nothing, everything was excellent. I could don't fault this hotel.
Room was lovely and spacious, friendly staff, good breakfast
Decor a bit tired. As was pool and surrounds. Needs a refresh. Large construction crane on property below was distracting to a normally great view.
Spacious room with beautiful view
They don’t have late checkout
View is wonderful and rooms comfy. Staff are fantastic. Breakfast is very good.
Not great coffee - for this standard of boutique hotel you would expect better.Room turn down on one of the evenings didn't happen.There are charges for all minor items in the room although we were informed on arrival that this wasn't the case.
Amazing sea views from this lovely guest house. Couldn’t call it a hotel as no food after lunch except at weekends when a chef cooked. Dinner for those who booked. Staff were really helpful, everything super clean and comfy beds. We had a suite on the 1st floor which was delightful.
Not enough sun umbrellas and some of the sunbeds, although very comfortable, were broken. Staff were really lovely but at times they lacked the direction of management who were not always visible.
Amazing host, amazing staff, magnificent view, nice breakfast, big rooms with a balcony/terrace. We are sure it’s a best place here for this money
Breakfast was wonderful, good choice, spectacular views and very well situated.Rooms well appointed,
The location had glorious views, spacious rooms and so much peace and quiet
Great service , delicious breakfast, comfortable beds, location , and the personal attention to guests
Beautiful views with wonderful decor touches, friendly and attentive staff who really tried to make our stay special
The view, spacious rooms, attention from staff
Low water pressure and water taking too long to get warm
