From the moment we walked in to the dining room we knew that we had found something rare and exquisite. The decor was awe inspiring and the atmosphere was that of a long lost palace secret room that we had stumbled upon.

Firstly, this hotel is situated in the fishing coastal village of Hout Bay, which is a few kms away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
