Adequate, no problems, but too expensive for what it is.

- The room was nice and spacious. - Bed was reasonably comfortable and large. - Nice view from the main lobby. Ok view from our balcony.

Beautiful Rooms, Amazing Views, and Outstanding Host

This is a beautiful property with incredible views across the bay. I originally planned to stay two nights but extended my stay because it was such a wonderful place. The top floor room is spacious with high ceilings and its own balcony overlooking the bay, and the executive room on the lower floor is also fantastic, with a huge bed and a balcony. The host, Mandy, was extremely helpful, even letting me store a large bag in the laundry room. Breakfast was excellent, with multiple options plus fruits, bread, and coffee. Truly a special place — I will definitely return.

There was so much to like, friendly and welcoming, pristine room with fantastic view over False Bay, Simon's Town, and the harbor with private balcony. Lovely lounge and dining room area. Various teas, ground, and instant coffee to choose from in room or dining room. The weather wasn't great during our stay with heavy winds, but we could enjoy the comfort of our room with the majestic view.
