In-room spa treatments include massages, facials, and hand/foot treatments (minimum R800 per therapist). Complimentary uncapped fiber Wi-Fi is available throughout. The lodge sources seasonal ingredients locally, uses solar-heated water, and avoids single-use plastics.
Location & Access
Situated in Green Point, the lodge is near the Cape Town Stadium (2 km), V&A Waterfront (1.5 km), and Two Oceans Aquarium (1.5 km). It is a 5-minute walk to the Green Point biodiverse garden with lakes and jogging trails. Airport transfers in a luxury vehicle cost ZAR 900 each way for two guests.
Services & Offerings
Multilingual staff assist with transfers and touring needs. A complimentary 'Breakfast to Go' is available for early departures with 24-hour notice. The concierge provides information on local attractions like Table Mountain, Cape Point, and the Winelands. Art by South African artists Richard Scott and Uwe Pfaff is featured on-site.
“In my opinion, this small but luxurious property feels like a home away from home, made special by the kindness of the staff and a prime location near the waterfront. The hotel's historical charm, dating back to 1888, is complemented by modern amenities and a tranquil garden with a saltwater pool. I believe it's an excellent choice for those seeking a personalized and conveniently located boutique experience in Cape Town.”
