Dutch colonial classic pink monstrosity. Afternoon tea is absolutely incredible and a must in Cape Town. Gorgeous savories, sweets, and beverages. Explore the grounds and peek into the spa afterward.

Updated Oasis wing rooms, decked out in plush red sofas and paintings by local artists, have given the storied hotel new life. Chef-led tours bring guests to the coast to forage for the night’s meal.

Not staying here but keen to use the pool? Book a service at the Librisa Spa and they'll let you use the pool the day of your service. (~R900 minimum spend/mention the pool at booking)

Tea today was good as per usual - vanilla ceylon tea and crumpets with clotted cream! Loved the chocolate ganache cake, cheese cake, macaroons, hertzoggies, macadamia nut tart and more!

It's a great hotel, but aimed at the older wealthy tourists. Very nice Dekor, quiet and great service, God for business meetings.

The mini bar set up has excellent design. The Waterford Sauvignon Blanc comes recommended. The estate itself had a chocolate ad wine tasting and flagship wine named 'the Jem' that come recommended.

Just exquisite! Pop in for coffee and cake in the lounge or their legendary afternoon tea. Sit on the veranda and enjoy lunch in the sun.

Apart from great morning teas and one of the most extensive afternoon teas it's a perfect quiet place for business meetings.

A must visit for every Cape Town visitor. Have the beautiful tea or visit the Planet Bar, or if it's sunny laze I. The garden!

A glass of good red wine on the shade of an old oak.... So charming ! Nice garden

Great Old lady,a little eccentric, and has spotty maintenance and condition. It feels a little faded and perhaps not worth the money.

When staying at the hotel - use the adults only pool directly opposite the hotel's entrance. Private and serene spot.

Arrive to high tea very hungry! Fantastic spread of finger foods and pastries. Strawberry vanilla rooibos is great. Come early before it gets crowded with children and poorly dressed teenagers.
Andrew FurmanNovember 23, 2015
Fantastic for a proper English tea
Mandy GovenderJune 7, 2016
They do offer a vegan menu at high tea but it's a very very small offering. Rather eat off the regular menu
