Lovely experience

Our experience in this beautifully decorated guesthouse was truly lovely. We loved our leopard room with views of Table Mountain (big selling point for us to book this place) and the cosy feeling of the guesthouse and the team. We booked last second with the request for a very late check in which was accommodated following very prompt communication via email. The team upon request also organised pick up from the airport which was perfect as we arrived so late. We had breakfast once during our stay which was delicious. Antony communicated daily via email giving recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed during our stay which gave us extra sense of security as this was our first time in Cape Town. We loved our stay and will definitely stay here again if we visit Cape Town at some point. Thanks so much for making the beginning of our Christmas holidays so special team!

It was a pleasure to host your stay and we are delighted to hear that you would consider returning to stay if and when you return to Cape Town.
