Bestes Cliff Top Boutique Hotel Afrikas

Nach sehr freundlichem Empfang verbrachten wir den Nachmittag auf der riesigen Terasse unserer Ein-Raum Elefanten-Suite bei kostenlosem Bier aus dem roten Design Smeg. Aussicht auf Knysna Bucht von dort ist ein highlight und eine der allerbesten ganz Afrikas. Hotelpreis sehr teuer aber ein must an der Gartenroute.

Sehr schönes Hotel in Top-Aussichtslage

Pros: Die Aussichtslage!
Cons: Bettenqualität und Bettengröße in den "günstigeren" Zimmern grenzwertig
Location: Direkt auf dem Felsen "Head over hills" mit atemberaubender Aussicht!
Atemberaubender Blick vom Zimmer aus! Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Haus, luxoriös aber lohnend!
