The other guests moving furniture upstairs late into the night - some rubber pads fixed onto the legs of the chairs to prevent them scraping on the floor could be a possible solution.

When I’m out from US to cape area, this is my go to property. I can’t always get in due to no room available but this is my first option. This property respects the Titanium status better than most US properties do. Excellent breakfasts, great service and uncompromising safety. I love the showers in the executive rooms. I push everyone who asks for recommendations for somewhere to stay to check this property out first. There’s a ton of great AirBnB in area, but this property is slightly better. Only hotel I say that about in Stellenbosch area.

The view over De Zalze was fantastic! The unit size was comfortable for two people and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was average - some of the pre prepared food tasted dusty, as if it was left for a long time before serving.
