Room service and bar drinks are available.

Location

The hotel sits across from the V&A Waterfront, a 5-minute walk from shops (e.g., Two Oceans Aquarium, Robben Island ferry) and the Cape Town International Convention Centre. It's also 10 minutes by car to Table Mountain. Public parking is free, and the area feels secure with 24-hour security and CCTV.

A dedicated butler can book spa treatments and tours. Other amenities: currency exchange, tour desk, and facilities for disabled guests.

“This former harbour master's residence, positioned directly across from the V&A Waterfront, stands out for its palatial suites that truly surpass expectations in size and appointment. The staff's attentiveness and the quiet elegance of the grounds, including a lovely pool area, contribute to an atmosphere of refined comfort. I found it to be among the most exceptional stays regarding overall quality, especially appreciating the seamless blend of historic character with modern luxury and a truly serene setting despite its central location.”
