Outstanding location overlooking Capetown Bay, very close to the center on a silent, secluded and safe one way street. Two fabulous terraces and pool to have breakfast, drinks and take in the stunning views. And most of all, Aissa and her team are simply the best: hospitable, flexible, helpful and kind!
