Amazing stylish hotel, wonderful staff
The hotel is very comfortable and welcoming, beautifully designed with very stylish and chic surroundings. The views are wonderful, totally unexpected from a city hotel. It's quiet and safe. Explore the whole place, it's built on a hillside with a pool at the bottom and rooms on many levels. Comfy big beds, great art and the food is lovely too. The staff are all friendly and helpful. We were lucky enough to be there when artworks from a local gallery were being displayed, great idea.

It was definitely the coolest place we stayed in SA - such a nice relaxed feel to the place. And there were lots of nice extra touches like a coffee machine and Netflix available in your room. We didn’t use it as the views out of our room were spectacular!
