Cape Town was the start to my trip to South Africa, Zambia & Zimbabwe. It was a true pleasure to find myself in this oasis of beauty and peace after an 11hrs flight from London. The room was very spacious, around 65 m2, comfortable with the view of the Table Mountain, in the main building with a large terrace. The location is perfect, everything is easy to reach. Capetown itself struck by its size, beauty and cleanliness. So many things to do: Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, penguins colony, wine yards... 3 days are not enough to enjoy everything. Read less

A must stay in South Africa. Great service, great accommodations, excellent food. Can't say enough good things about the One and Only. The staff was attentive and accommodating, the views breathtaking, and the animals friendly.
