A half hour walk from the city centre in the quiet Oranjezicht area. If you can't face that (and it is an uphill stroll), just jump in a taxi. Location is key and you're well situated here. You are just below the mighty Table Mountain, one of Cape Town's finest features. You're off to a jolly good start.

Your views are panoramic and that's on top of the beautiful gardens right outside your room. Add the spacious abode you'll call home during your stay and the genuine hospitality and like we said, "you're off to a good start." All that's left is great food and time spent exploring this fine city and you're all set.

Natalie Roodt, the general manager, will have you feeling at home in no time. As if the sweeping views of Table Mountain, the Harbour and Table Bay weren't enough to convince you?

Take your pick of one of the 12 individually styled rooms or opt for the apartment if you're a family. The apartment has a private sitting room and self catering facilities. There’s a double bed sleeper couch which is suitable for young children. All the rooms are grand, but here are some specifics:

Room 1 is upstairs, it’s got a fireplace, shower and a view of Table Mountain.

Room 2 is upstairs with a queen size bed and a bathroom with views of the whole shebang - Table Mountain, Table Bay and the city.

Ditto room 3.

Room 4 is a bit of a honeymoon treat. It’s large, it’s got a bath and shower and you can gaze at Table Mountain and the city whilst contemplating married life. What have you done?

Room 5 is the ‘Africa Room’ with local art. The bathroom has a view over the city and Table Bay.

Room 6 is a small double with a view to the garden. You’ll have a shower and bath.

Room 7 is on the ground floor, it’s got a sitting area and big double doors open onto the pool - make sure you’re dressed when you fling these open...

Room 8 also on the ground floor with garden views and if you look up you can see Table Mountain too.

Room 9 and 10 are large with a garden views and a bath and shower.

We could go on... but you get the just. You'll be happy, no matter the room assigned.
