Clean, comfortable & well positioned. Unfortunately breakfast was not included and the bed is only a double but worth what you pay.

Art-deco newness

Fresh & funky art-deco newness. Well appointed self-catered rooms that feels all new. However surprisingly the bed was creaky and sloppily springy so not the greatest of comfort there. Multiple construction across the roads in the area so if your'e a late sleeper this can be a rather big problem. Noise starts fairly early.

Undiscovered gem

I've been to Cape Town dozens of times. We happened to decide to stay here. The beach is superb. The views are great. Food good. Service very good. Not over-priced. Close to the airport. Perhaps the only down-side is that one is a bit far from Cape Town itself, but with access to a car (free parking) there should be no problem.

Hotel was generally nice and clean and great location however yhe location meant extremely noisy at night with windows not providing any sound proofing at all. Air Con only in main living area but this ended up being OK as the rooms were fairly cool.

A new property with a plunge pool on the top floor. Our apartment was small but adequate for our 6 night stay. Ideally located for the beachside promenade, restaurants, cafes, shops and buses to the V&A waterfront or Camps Bay (be prepared for a 30 minute wait). There is a lot of construction work going on in the area so dont expect a lie in after 7.30.
