Did not get the category of room we paid for. Staff were arrogant about dealing with the issue. Would not recommend this property.

Our room was large and beautiful with a gorgeous view of Table Mountain. Breakfast was incredible and the food at the two restaurants was great. Top to bottom the staff was helpful and friendly.
