Such a great stay at this cute property! The house is super old with amazing high ceilings and hard wood floors. Bianca was amazing and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood felt safe and we really enjoyed the breakfast. Check out this gem in Green Point.

Vashna was the manager and she checked in with us to ensure we had all the information and suggestions for a great day…. Such as restaurants, things to do and even got us a driver to hire for the day to take us sight seeing and hiking up around Cape Hope. I felt very taken care of. The wifi was great in our room and the little fridge with wine and beer was great too! The room was clean and i took advantage of the big bathtub including the bath salts 2 of the 5 nights we were there. Thank you so much Vashna and team!

Hire Car Vandilised on unsafe Road outside
Parking not secure and car was vandilsed while under the supervision of the manager at the hotel. Then no responsibility taken by the owner. Do not stay here if you want secure parking, its roadside parking. Also not '5 star' international level, even though they try to portrait themselves as such

Truly magical experience
Amazing! I have to say it was above and beyond my expectations. I arrived late in the night (11pm) and the staff, specifically Vashna, was so helpful in helping me arrange an airport pickup. They were on time and it was the most comfortable ride and great way to begin my trip. Upon arrival I got a personalized welcome and tour and welcome drink. The lodge is better than the pictures. With only 6 rooms, it’s very intimate and you get the utmost service. The breakfast in the morning was so fresh and delicious. The staff knew you by name and it was such a great feeling. My room opened up to the terrace by the pool and it was a nice treat to see the sunrise and sunset each day. The room was super cute. I had the lofted bed one and it was a fun experience. A couple of things though, I’m 5’5” and I was able to stand up straight, but anyone over that may need to for sure hunch a little at the top so be mindful of that. Also, there’s no iron/ironing board in the room, so just ask for it and they will bring it to you. I found this to be the case in all hotels I stayed in in SA. Best experience. Would totally recommend. It was close to everything. And the staff was great. They also helped me arrange a full day Cape Town tour and I had an amazing time!

Small boutique hotel in Green Point, superb location, quiet but still just a short walk to the waterfront. Nice modern rooms, very comfortable, friendly and attentive service. Only con is that parking is a hassle.

Nice hotel with lovely outdoor pool area
Lovely hotel with nice accommodating staff. The room was very unique, with a lofted bed up top and bathroom space below. Our room opened directly up to the back patio with access to the pool and outdoor space. The property is beautiful and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. Overall a very pleasant stay.

A pleasant little oasis in the Green Point area of Capetown. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was fine. We were there in drought conditions but the staff made every effort to make our stay very enjoyable.

Beautiful hotel in a great location!
Beautiful hotel in a great location. The service was faultless. from the second we checked in, until we left the hosts made us feel so welcome and provided us with lots of tips/ suggestions and ideas for places to go/ see and eat. The Room and hotel is beautifully designed with lots of character and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with a choice of a hot or cold menu. We were within walking distance of the lovely V&A waterfront and easy enough to get anywhere else in Cape Town. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.
