Stunning location in the middle of a vineyard and wine farm. Really a great getaway right in the heart of the peninsular. Restaurant was very good (even though we only had breakfast).

Nice little complex, friendly staff and restaurant attached served up an excellent dish. Just down the road from wineries and easy access to main roads. We had to leave early for a flight and staff happily assisted with bringing us breakfast the night before. Easy drive to Cape Town airport.

A very nice place. The check-in, staff in the restaurant etc is so friendly. But it seems a bit run down - especially the swimming pool area and the sun-beds. It's a shame since the garden and the park is such a nice area.
