We Spend 2 nights at the end of a 10 days stay in Cape Town for our honeymoon. The room was great, the bed really comfy, the view from our balcony was amazing. The 2 nights we were there, they left creme brulee and chocolate covered strawberries on our bed. It was really sweet. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Paradise Found
A truly magical stay, really brilliant dinner and all drinks included which makes it better value for money. Lovely staff. Only downside is the rooms are tired and the whole pool and bathrooms need maintenance. Also a wider breakfast choice perhaps it is a bit limited. Thanks to Kim for looking after us perfectly.

The hotel’s amazing location and the service we received were both definitely 5 star. However, the interior is not 5 star as rated. There’s nothing wrong with it and we had no issues, but marketing it as 5 stars is not realistic. Will definitely return though.

Wonerful small hotel on beachfront
The hotel has just 6 rooms all of which have a marvellous view over the sea. It is beachfront and you can open the gate and walk onto the beach. The rooms are really huge and well designed.and had free Wifi
There is a mini bar but unlike any other mini bars I have encountered this one is free. There was also a complimentary bottle of both red and white wine in our room. In the general lounge are was a much larger complimentary mini bar. Food was first class. The staff were very friendly and I can well recommend this establishment.

Didn’t meet our expectations
We had very high expectations of this property having stayed at the one in Franschoek. The location on Kommetjie beach and the decor was faultless. But what really makes a boutique hotel experience something more than a “Holiday inn” is the service and in this this property was sorely lacking. Our reception, on arrival, was casual and cursory - in a hotel with 6 rooms, it would not be unexpected for a guest to be greeted by name. The room was tastefully decorated in shades of duck egg, cream and beige, with stunning views. The complimentary mini bar was not well stocked - barely the basics. Breakfast was a small buffet with an ample variety of cooked to order items - the individualized smoothies were a nice touch. This was an expensive stay which failed to hit the mark. In summary, the location is perfect, the food average and the service awful.

Amazing hotel right on the beach. Best thing was the welcome and staff, and the view from the room with doors that completely open. Only negative is lack on any close restaurants.

A true gem out in the middle of Kommetjie
This boutique hotel is a real gem with all staff on their toes to please, which is exactly how the hospitality industry is about. Apart from the great service, the location and scenic views were absolutely awesome. You could spend an entire few days just taking it all in without having to leave the place.

The Last word is truly an amazing experience. From the second you enter, you are greeted by the staff who carefully go through all the aspects of your room and the lounge. Service is amazing. The lounge has afternoon tea and free beverages in the evening with a great view on the sea. We were only a bit disappointed by the area of the hotel.

Bliss - no other word does it justice
A business trip with a weekend is often not much fun when overloaded with work you feel you need to continue to clear the decks. Needing some peace, quiet, and re-invigoration, I found this hotel, which actually is not all that far from Cape Town. But what a world away. I felt like I had had two weeks off. Amazing location and wonderful staff
