Dear Asimina and Johan, Thank you for your ongoing support. I am so sorry that I did not inform you about the ongoing load shedding that has become very frequent now here in Cape Town. Unfortunately, we have not yet gone off the grid and will definitely way up our options for going forward. At the moment it is financially not possible for us to go completely off the grid. We really do hope the situation in Cape Town improves. For now, we have only UPS and emergency lighting. We do hope to see you again in the future. Regards, Madeleine

The hosts Oom Bokkie and Annie were really very freindly. Annie was an absolute star and went out of her way to make us feel at home and comfortable. She is a true asset and a star! Assisted us with arranging bolt trips and guiding us on the Mycity bus locations and routes.

The host and hostess were very accommodating as we had a very late check in. We found the rooms very clean and I must say the sheets had a lovely fragrance. In the morning the hostess made sure the kettle was boiled so we could at least have a cup of tea and rusks during load shedding. The inn is very nicely positioned close the beautiful promenade.

I stayed 3 nights at the Dolphin Inn and it is a great place; quite private place with swimming pool, BBQ, kitchen and very clean rooms. There is a parking place and is at walking distance from the beach. Also the owners are very friendly so can recommend it!
