Beautiful property in a gorgeous town. It was well managed, had a great restaurant attached (that also served breakfast). Rooms were well appointed and huge as were the bathrooms. Overall no complaints, just about perfect.

Clean and centrally located, but I think I could have found better options if I had done more research. The breakfast was just okay and the hotel experience felt generic.

It is an awesome property, but keep in mind that the Protea Chain in South Africa is not well integrated with Marriott. You need to get a paper receipt and apply for points later.
