I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, with an outstanding view of Cape Town that made my stay truly special. The property is well-located, away from the hustle and bustle but still close to beautiful vineyards. Unfortunately, the service could use some improvement, especially regarding room availability and amenities. Overall, it's a decent choice with pros in the view and location but some cons in communication and details.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this spa hotel. The private steam room and couple's massage were heavenly, and I truly felt pampered from start to finish. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore. However, my stay at the guesthouse left some room for improvement due to misleading descriptions and inadequate facilities, which was disappointing for my planned girls' weekend.

Rooms

My stay was a rejuvenating experience, especially with the incredible spa treatment that was included. The views from the thyme room were splendid, making it a romantic getaway. However, the room's amenities leave some room for improvement, including the absence of a bathtub and issues with Wi-Fi reception. Still, the breakfast and lunch included in the treatment were both delightful.

My visit to this spa hotel was mostly positive, with a beautiful and serene setting that made for a wonderful stay. The rooms were spacious and had a lovely view, although the shower could use some improvement. I was very pleased with the attentive spa treatment we received, but I was disappointed to find the sauna out of order during our visit. Overall, it was a great getaway, but the maintenance of facilities could be better.

My stay was quite underwhelming due to several discrepancies from what was promised. The guesthouse did have some positive aspects, like the friendly reception staff and a good breakfast, but the room left much to be desired with unmet expectations regarding the bed configuration and bathroom facilities. While I appreciated a few of the amenities, the overall cleanliness and functionality were disappointing.
