There were numerous trendy restaurants around the neighbourhood. We felt every safe inside the house. The hospitality was lovely. The Dutch Cape Architecture of the building truly captured the feeling of the district, and every amenity was provided. We stayed as a family of 6 and thought that the accommodation was perfect for our family holiday.
