FANTASTIC STAY!!! The room was beautiful, the views of the mountains and clouds every morning was a delight to see. After booking I saw a couple of mixed reviews but honestly this stay exceeded my expectations. And the gym was GREAT! Amazing set up - has everything you need for a decent workout. Breakfast had a great range each morning and had dinner one night at the reesturant and the portion was huge!

The facilities could have been explained to me when I arrived. I found some of the options only later on my trip. On an individual level the staff were polite and helpful. Please improve your taxi partner provision with a decent minimum standard. Although I knew it would be more expensive to book an airport shuttle through reception, I was t expecting a car with no air con, no car seats in the back and a dashboard with multiple warning lights. The driver was fine and I got to my flight, but not the best impression of the hotel in an otherwise enjoyable stay.

When I’m out from US to cape area, this is my go to property. I can’t always get in due to no room available but this is my first option. This property respects the Titanium status better than most US properties do. Excellent breakfasts, great service and uncompromising safety. I love the showers in the executive rooms. I push everyone who asks for recommendations for somewhere to stay to check this property out first. There’s a ton of great AirBnB in area, but this property is slightly better. Only hotel I say that about in Stellenbosch area.
