9.6/10 Exceptional! (160 reviews)

This is a great option for accomodation by the ocean near Cape Town. My room and bathroom were spacious and clean. Staff was accommodating to my arriving very late (after midnight). Parking is a bit tricky but it pays off to be close to all of the wonderful restaurants and shopping in Kalk Bay. I would come back if ever in this area again.

Had a most relaxing stay, home from home. Their food was delicious. The trout burger is one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten. The staff was a delight. Will definitely be back next year!
