The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast

During my stay, I experienced the breakfast at the Rose Café next door. The selection was impressive, and the presentation was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety, especially the delicious sausages. It was hands down the best hotel breakfast I've had compared to other places I've stayed in South Africa.

Spacious Room Experience

I stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment that was absolutely huge. The layout included a massive lounge and dining area, which made it perfect for a relaxing evening. The decor was tasteful and inviting, making me feel right at home.
