My wife and I stayed for 5 night in the garden suite in August 2024. It is without doubt one of my favourite rooms I’ve ever stayed in of any hotel anywhere in the world. It is so peaceful and spacious and beautiful with incredible views. The whole guesthouse is so clean and beautiful with lovely outdoor spaces and truly brilliant service. Supreme and everyone we encountered were truly first class! We completely fell in love with Cape Town and with ocean view! I will be returning and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a comfortable and relaxing stay in a brilliant area of a great city.
