"4 nuits extrêmement bien situé pour visiter Cap Hope / Cap Bonne Espérance, Tour de bateau (baleines / requins / plongée) Hiking autour + Fish Hoek. Stationnement facile et gratuit. Nombreux restaurants tout près. Excellent service. Cela vaut vraiment prendre une des 8 chambres avec balcon. Seul hic, hôtel très peu insonorisé."
