DK Eyewitness "A renowned, privately owned four-star hotel on Sea Point’s coastal boulevard. Tailor-made tours to the Winelands or to Cape Point can be arranged through consultation with the management."
Rough Guide "A self-consciously colonial-style 1920s hotel, in a prime spot across the road from the seashore, with an atmosphere straight from the pages of Agatha Christie."
Time Out "This charming property combines old world details with a thoroughly modern understanding of what one wants from a hotel stay." Full review
