We booked in a day early, by arrangement, and were made most welcome. This was our second stay and we can not wait to return again. We are working through the rooms. No 8 on our first visit and No 2 on this. They are all different. No 2 is small but with fantastic views. The management and staff are genuinely keen to make your sta as relaxing and enjoyable as possible; nothing seems to be too much trouble – it really is all inclusive! Some great restaurants nearby as well as wine-tasting. Try 'B's (+27 (0)28 316362) for great steaks, the Marine has great fish and Heaven at the Newton Johnson Winery is fantastic for either breakfast or lunch.You are really spoilt for choice. My wife and I have put on a pound or two! We also stayed at Kensington Place in Cape Town for two nights before returning home. A wonderful oasis also with great management and staff who are only too willing to advise on where to eat.
