      Couldn't ask for more

      Warmly welcomed by Gael despite the late hour. Quiet, comfortable & a great view of the mountain from our room. Lovely continental breakfast (great cheese!) on secluded patio. Marie provided a wealth of information on restaurants, tours, etc.

      Perfect stay

      What a nice place. Clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. Delicious hot breakfast. Just around the corner (Kloof Street) are restaurants and shops (walking distance). Thanks again Marie-Laure for organizing transfers.
