“My stay was fantastic – the staff were incredibly friendly and always went out of their way to help. The room was very comfortable, with nice extras like a stocked fridge and a coffee maker. Daily housekeeping was excellent. The pool offered a great view of Lion's Head, and the location was ideal – just a two-minute walk to great restaurants and a supermarket, and a 30-minute stroll to the beautiful Clifton beaches. A quick 70 rand Uber gets you to town. Can't wait to come back.”

“Stayed in September at Villa Sunshine in Bantry Bay and really liked it. Friendly staff, spotless rooms, and a nice pool. Always got great suggestions on what to do and where to eat. I'd return without hesitation and recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town.”
