The hotel offers beautiful and relaxing rooms with stunning views, but some maintenance issues were noted. The service was a mix of disinterested to unfriendly staff in some areas, while others were amazing and very helpful. The location is very good, with direct beach access and a pleasant surrounding atmosphere. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with exceptional options available but also some disappointments. Overall, a mixed experience with potential for improvement.

The hotel offers an amazing modern rustic style room with a conservatory overlooking beautiful gardens, the beachfront, Table Mountain, and the Nine Apostles, providing a breathtaking sunset view. However, the room size is quite small with a unique layout including a standalone bath in the middle of the room next to a washbasin and shower.

7.6/10

The room was small but modern and wonderfully designed with a standalone bath. It wasn't in the main building, which suited us perfectly. Service was a mixed bag, but the staff kept dogs away from food areas and were the icing on the cake. The location was stunning and serene, especially for our curious 11-year-old. The dining experience had its faults, but the homemade bread was a highlight.
