They gave us so many special treats to celebrate, from platters of macarons, fudge, nougat and bubbly, to running a bath for us with rose petals. Nobu was a treat too, and again the staff made us feel so special and gave us a lovely dessert to celebrate. From check in to departure, to organizing us a shuttle to our next destination, everything was lovely and 5 stars! Read less

True 5 star quality in every way. The staff were excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. We were greeted by name from our arrival to departure. Nobu Restaurant served up some truly outstanding dishes, worthy of any Michelin establishment. If we want a good time in Cape Town, we don't go anywhere else.
