Reviews and Ratings
What a gem of a hotel! The location is simply stunning, nestled in the picturesque Bakoven area with easy access to both Cape Town centre and the idyllic Camps Bay. The rooms offer a delightful blend of comfort and charm, complete with a lovely terrace to soak in the breathtaking views. The service was impeccable, with every request promptly taken care of by the attentive staff. The dining experience, featuring included Colombian coffee, was a true highlight that added a touch of luxury to the stay. While the facilities were top-notch, the only drawback was the lack of certain amenities that could have further enhanced the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Bakoven, offering breathtaking views. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my stay memorable. However, the dining options were limited, and the price was a bit on the higher side.

The facilities are excellent, making for a comfortable stay overall.
